Steel City Roller Derby (SCRD) (in their own words) is a skater owned and operated organization. We are Pittsburgh’s only all-female roller derby league, comprised of a diverse set of athletes from the nation’s home of superb sports teams. SCRD is taking all the action and exhilaration of yesterday’s roller derby and combining it with a new level of athleticism, moxie and drive, resulting in a revolutionary sport. With flat track roller derby leagues growing from 30 just a few years ago, to over 200 worldwide today, this new incarnation of an old sport is growing by leaps and bounds!  Our skaters work constantly – both on and off the track and in and out of the gym – to represent Pittsburgh at home and on the road. We compete at the highest levels of gameplay throughout the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association.

As a 501c3 non-profit organization, SCRD is committed to fostering serious competition on a local, national, and international level, developing amateur athletes for competition, and promoting the physical and mental strength of all our female athletes.  For more information on the Steel City Roller Derby, visit www.steelcityrollerderby.org.

We interviewed Maryane Kimbler (a.k.a. Riley Rinkrash) and Nancy Donnelly (a.k.a. Kace O. DaMondaze).  Kace O. started skating with the Steel City Roller Derby as “Fresh Meat” in 2011 and is now in her 6^th year of playing derby.  Riley has just completed her first full year of playing derby.

Steel City Slackers (in their own words) is a collective of outdoor enthusiasts from varying fields that have been brought together by the common interest of slacklining. The unique combination of passionate members and varying fields of expertise enables Steel City Slackers to empower the Pittsburgh slackline community through coordinated events, access maintenance/advocacy, instructional services, gear recommendations/rigging engineering, and much, much more. It is our hope to facilitate a productive and innovative relationship with the Pittsburgh area as slacklining evolves into an increasingly popular activity.  The Mission of the Steel City Slackers is to share their passion for slacklining and leverage their experience to benefit the Pittsburgh outdoors community. They feel the best way to accomplish these goals is by passing along what they have learned during their adventures. Their long-term objectives include establishing slackline locations in Pittsburgh, working with parks and recreation to allow slackline access, and continuing a tradition of community amongst outdoors enthusiasts. FitLabPGH spoke with Co-Founders Wade Desai and Travis Warner.

Jhonphilipp Yonan, RTS, CPT, PES, CES, CNT2, INPAX4, is the Founder and Co-Owner of MÜV Integrated Physical Culture in Pittsburgh, PA (East Liberty).  Jhonphilipp, in his own words:
I have been lucky to be surrounded by so many intelligent and progressive professionals throughout my time in the fitness and martial arts industry. They inspired me to constantly question what is being dictated by the industry. They have encouraged me to analyze every movement, its effect on the kinetic chain and to engage and inspire every individual I come in contact with throughout my career. Generally, we all have two arms and two legs and three energy systems we should tax based on our goals. I tend to steer away from mindless systems and trends. As a trainer, the experience I provide for each client should be in depth and mindful every time to challenge them accordingly. What we trainers/consultants do is invasive to the body and we should be aware of how we apply forces to every single joint and muscle. My path with the development of MÜV Integrated reframed my focus on fitness. It changed from the need of self-image actualization to a path toward self-actualization. I began to understand how to be in the present not only in life, but in the movement I’m doing at that point in time. My relationship with my own body has become stronger. Not to be like someone else, but to be the best version of me possible.

Since the founding of the Pittsburgh Curling Club in May 2002, the club, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, has introduced the Olympic sport of curling to over 4,000 people. During this time, they have seen the popularity of curling increase at a steady rate. In 2010 alone, over 1,000 people were able to experience the sport through the club’s series of league and learn-to-curl programs. They currently practice and play league matches at the Robert Morris University Island Sports Center on Neville Island.  The Pittsburgh Curling Club is actively raising money to build a dedicated curling facility.  FitLabPGH spoke with Board Members Dustin Devine and Karyn Drombosky, who told us about the fun environment of the club and the addictive nature of the sport.  For more information about the Pittsburgh Curling Club, including the Learn to Curl program, go to http://www.pittsburghcurlingclub.com to donate to the fundraising campaign to build a dedicated curling facility, go to https://pccfundraising.dntly.com/campaign/dedicated-ice-campaign#/ or http://www.pittsburghcurlingclub.com/donate-make-it-happen/
