Water fitness
A low-impact, full-body workout in the water that builds strength, improves cardiovascular fitness, and enhances flexibility.
What is water fitness?
Water Fitness is high energy, low-impact exercise performed in the pool. It combines cardio, strength, and flexibility exercises, using the resistance of water to tone muscles and improve fitness. Suitable for all ages and abilities, water fitness is gentle on the joints while providing a fun, energising full-body workout.
Water Fitness offers a low-impact, full-body workout that is easy on the joints while building strength, endurance, and flexibility. Exercising in water reduces strain on muscles and bones, making it ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels. It also improves cardiovascular health, enhances balance and coordination, and can support rehabilitation from injury. Beyond the physical benefits, the buoyant, refreshing environment helps reduce stress and leaves you feeling energised and invigorated.
Please be on poolside at least 5 minutes before the class. Entry to the water will not be permitted until 5 minutes before the session starts, so arriving on time ensures you can get settled and ready to begin safely.
Wear a swimsuit or swim trunks and arrive ready to get in the water. All equipment will be set up and ready for you on poolside.
