Aqua Fitness

​

Our Aqua Fitness sessions take place in a lovely Hydro Pool with upbeat current music, low

lighting during our evening sessions and we provide any equipment needed.

​

Just bring yourself and a bottle of water! You can wear swimming costumes or shorts and T-shirt, whatever makes you feel comfortable.

 

Our sessions are available to all ages from 12 years and up; Any ability can join a session and the activities can be adjusted to any injury or disability. We ask everyone to complete a PARQ before their first session. If you have any questions please contact us.

​

So.. What happens?

​

Each session we will run through a variety of movements. Suitable for all abilities and levels of intensity, the intensity level is set by YOU; if you want to work harder you can but if you need to pull back then its completely fine everyone is on their own journey.  

 

Aqua Fitness is amazing exercise because in the water your heart rate actually lowers allowing you to exercise effectively for longer; the water keeps your cooler during the workout (even though the water is 34 C!) which makes it great exercise for everyone!  

​

Exercise in the water is low impact therefore removes the pressure on your body and allows you to have a full body workout! Thus meaning the normal stress and strains on the body in general exercise will not be there, and more importantly very minimal (if any)  muscle fatigue the next day! 

​

From the social well being, higher calorie burn than general exercise, we are also maintaining and building healthier lungs and hearts. Your muscles will build and tone throughout each session; your flexibility will increase and you will surprise yourself at your own ability with the water there for support! (Don't panic we also have a perfect hand rail all around the pool for extra support should you need it!)  

​

Fitness is suitable for everyone even if you have a whole host of medical issues from but not limited to Diabetes, asthma, chronic/lifetime illnesses to heart attack survivors.  

​

Sessions are at a range of locations, times and day; the session is around 45 minutes. 

​

​

​

Aqua Yoga

​

Aqua yoga is another unique water fitness activity that is suitable for a whole range of people, not just those that

have tried yoga before or yoga enthusiasts! Within the water you can concentrate on your own body alignment due to the support of the water. Which is great for people in rehab for all kinds of injuries as well as anyone suffering with long term illnesses, pre/post natal ladies, post surgery as well as many others.

​

So what happens?

​

Each session is started with simple breathing exercises to help your body and mind to relax and rejuvenate, you feel your stress leaving your body, your lung function improving. We go into some simple well known yoga moves to stretch and awaken the body, this strengthens and boosts your flexibility.

​

Each session is full of alignment focus, relaxation, stretches as well as a fun and social environment that boosts your quality of life, aids sleep, helps combat balance and pain issues. All session are in low lighting with relaxing music, we will talk you through each movement, progression and reminding you to breathe through the stretches. When the equipment comes out the giggles start! You are introduced to different core positions each week, we promise no moves take place underwater but cannot guarantee the odd splash here and there! We finish the session with a full body flotation and relaxation allowing the magic of the hydrotherapy water to work. 

​

Again in these sessions, you can wear what you feel comfortable in as long as it allows you to move freely. We will provide any equipment you may need just don't forget your water bottle!
