About the class
Aquacise (aqua aerobics) is a low-impact class held standing in the heated training pool. The water takes the strain off your joints while you build strength and fitness, and you don't need to be able to swim to take part. It suits everyone, whatever your age or fitness level. Classes run Monday and Wednesday from 1:00pm to 2:00pm and cost $13 a class. Just check in at reception before you start.
Benefits
Moving through a full range of motion in the water helps keep joints mobile and muscles engaged, without the impact of exercising on land.
Aquacise (aqua aerobics) can help ease muscle tension built up from long periods sitting or standing, while being gentler on the joints than land-based exercise.
Aquacise (aqua aerobics) works the whole body against water resistance, helping build strength, endurance and support a healthy metabolism.
The class builds cardio fitness and strength through resistance rather than impact, with the water supporting your joints while you work against it.
Water's natural resistance works the whole body at once, supporting cardiovascular fitness and flexibility, while buoyancy takes the pressure off the joints.
Every movement in the water engages the core to stay stable against the water's resistance, working balance through positions not possible on land.
