Benefits of Aqua Fitness for Limited Mobility 🏊‍♀️

Water-based exercise provides the ideal environment for gentle, effective workouts. The natural buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints while providing resistance that strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health.

Why Try Aqua Fit:

• Joint-friendly: The water's buoyancy supports up to 90% of your body weight, making movements easier and reducing pressure on sore joints
• Natural resistance: Water provides 12 times more resistance than air, helping to build strength without heavy weights
• Improved balance: The supportive environment allows you to safely practice movements that improve stability
• Better circulation: Water pressure helps blood flow back to your heart, reducing swelling and improving cardiovascular health
• Inclusive atmosphere: Classes welcome participants of all abilities in a non-judgmental setting

Many participants find that regular aqua fitness improves their mobility on land too. The warm water helps relax tight muscles, while the gentle movements increase flexibility and range of motion over time.

No swimming skills are required - our classes take place in chest-deep water where you can stand comfortably. The instructor demonstrates movements from poolside, ensuring you can easily follow along at your own pace.

Come along to experience the joy of moving freely in water! 💧
