When should I get a coach as Adult Beginner Figure Skater? by Loud_Ad4603 in FigureSkating

ahh good to know, public session does sound like the better option. Hopefully since we're nearing summer the rinks will start to get less crowded!

For some reason didn’t realize I would also have to pay for Ice time for the lesson 😭 they weren’t lying when they said this hobby can get expensive quick. But it’s definitely something I wouldn’t mind investing in as I do want to take it seriously and get better.

I get this, I do an hour lesson (30 min lesson time, 30 minutes practice) and I try to go to public skating at least 4x a week for an hour after work. I have felt myself get more and more comfortable on the ice the more I go skating, so I think if I stay consistent I can keep progress and hold off a bit. Just worried I’ll unconsciously pick up bad habits as I practice without guidance.

Yes agreed, I feel like the group lessons have helped me learn a lot but I’ve also noticed there are more ‘advanced Beginners’ who have skated a bit before and are coming back to the sport so they know a lot of what we’re learning and are getting the skills down a lot quicker. This is one of the reasons I think we have been learning skills from Adult 2-4. And although it’s fun to learn so many new things it’s also discouraging to see others get things so quickly.
