Steven Harrison

Steven Harrison started bringing his son, Austin, to Skylite Skating Rink when it opened in July of 2016.  For many months, Steven watched Austin skate and enjoyed the relationships he developed there.

In December of 2017, Steven had a health scare with an extremely high blood pressure and at first, he thought he was having a heart attack.  There was no heart attack, thank goodness, but the scare was real.  The doctor encouraged Steven to eat healthy and to exercise to lose weight.  

Steven began his weight-loss journey and vowed to skate three-four nights a week.  Did you know?  One hour of skating burns 600 calories an hour.  With this kind of exercise, Steven began to see the weight come off quickly.  He has now lost 49 pounds–WAY TO GO, STEVEN!  And, his blood pressure is in the normal range.  He is now getting good reports from his doctor. 

Please come see Steven at Skylite.  You will find him there most nights:  Tuesdays (6:30-9:30); Wednesdays (6:30-9:30), Fridays (7:00-11:00); and Saturdays (7:00-11:00).  Please congratulate him on his accomplishments!  Steven is one of our regular customers at Skylite; we appreciate him and are so proud of him!  Steven works for the City of Lenoir.  Thanks for sharing your motivational story, Steven!
