Aqua Aerobics

Aqua Aerobics

Aqua aerobics classes at Gympie Aquatic Recreation Centre offer you a great way to stay fit without aggravation or risking injury. The resistance of water within each exercise and movement increases the intensity of your workout, helping to improve your strength, flexibility and overall health.

Classes are similar to using weights or machines in a gym; however, being in the water gives you a natural buoyancy to help protect and target particular areas of your body that require attention. Workouts address the entire body, helping to build strength and muscular endurance. Classes are great for cardiovascular health, improving fitness and stamina. Many people find Aqua Aerobics a fantastic stress reliever, feeling calmer after their workout.

Aqua Aerobics Classes run for 45 mins and are instructed by qualified instructors with many years of experience. Aqua Aerobics Classes are included in our Full Access membership or available as casual class passes.
