Aqua Cycle

A fun, full-body exercise that's easy on the joints and great for muscles and toning. We use special bike frames which sit stationary at the pool bottom. You sit half out of the water while your legs pedal away. The support and gentle pressure of the water increase blood circulation and eliminate fat, burning more calories per hour than an average spinning class. Muscle soreness is reduced, and cellulite areas are targeted as the cool water massages while you move. Like any underwater exercise, your joints are subjected to less stress. Aqua Cycling will make you feel fitter, stronger, and healthier.
