When we came up with the name Bang Fitness, the initial concept was twofold: 1) our specialty was working with combat athletes; and 2) we wanted a name that was not only fun, but one that went beyond the generic standard.* And while our scope has certainly broadened – we now work with athletes from several other sports – our favourite people continue to be the ones who smash stuff. With that in mind, Bang Fitness is happy to introduce our newest team training group: The Gore Gore Roller Girls

From the Toronto Roller Derby site:

“The Toronto Roller Derby League (ToRD) is the largest flat-track derby league in North America, boasting six teams and nearly 90 active skaters! The Bay Street Bruisers, Gore-Gore Rollergirls, Chicks Ahoy!, Death Track Dolls, Smoke City Betties, and CN Power (our all-star travel team) are thrilled to bring Toronto the finest jams, checks, hits, blocks, knocks, bumps and bruises yet seen on wheels!

The mission of ToRD is to make roller derby a thing of the present and the future, not a nostalgic sport of the past. We blend athleticism with entertainment so that sports fans, and not-so-sporty types can all enjoy a little roller derby action in Toronto!”

In case you’re still unclear, it’s wicked fun and we’re excited to be involved.

*Sadly, the name “Extremely Good Fitness Centre of Ultimate Dynamic Awesomeness and Sports Specific Victory” was already trademarked by a pee wee hockey rec centre.
