Like spinning, but gentler & underwater

What is AQUACYCLING?

You pedal & push against the natural resistance of the water coached by an instructor & moved by music.

With moves for arms, abs & back, you burn over 700 calories per hour with minimal effort & no impact on joints.

AQUACYCLING is the workout that’s not work: it’s invigorating & fun!

Using the most innovative aquabikes in the industry, resistance can be modified to challenge every body from teens… to fit mamas… to weekend warriors & recovering athletes. Each class is customized to meet the clients’ individual needs & preferences.

AQUACYCLING is ideal for all ages & all levels of fitness.

With fans all over Europe & the Caribbean, AQUACYCLING is now finally hitting US shores, launching a new wave of underwater wellness.

With underwater motion & hydrostatic pressure, AQUACYCLING massages your body, improving circulation & drainage of the lymphatic system.

You relax, recharge & enjoy the ride…then leave the pool feeling light & lively.

All level

Open to every body, every age & every level of fitness. The AquaCoach customizes the underwater exercises with varied options so every client gets a great workout without it feeling like work!

Teens Turn

With up-to-the-minute music selections, this class motivates kids ages 12-18 to pump legs, arms & heart rate. Exercising in a pool feels fresh & fun: especially if they bring a friend! Great for overweight teens to move freely & exercise safely, with no impact on developing joints.

Silver Session

This class is gently tailored to the needs of seniors, who may have issues with joints, flexibility & stability: all helped by underwater exercise. AQUACYCLING improves circulation in legs & overall cardio fitness. Cadence & music are adapted to make class fun!

Class Format

Each AQUACYCLING class is 1 hour of underwater spinning, upper body exercises, ab & back work, plus full-body stretching.

1) Warm-up

Class starts with a warm-up on the aquabike: legs circle through light resistance. Arms slide in the water. The body livens up, loosens up for aquatraining.

2) Hit the road

The class moves through 4 spinning sections with changes in cadence (& leg-pumping music) for cardio fitness. Up hills, across plateaus, reverse pedaling against the water.

Resistance on the bike & body positioning vary to tone legs, buttocks & back. The moving water massages working muscles.

3) Gloves on

Next, each client dons a pair of Aqua Gloves (provided) for arm & upper body exercises, pushing & pulling against the resistance of the water.

4) Dismount

Class closes with ab work & full-body stretches off the saddle, using the aquabike for stability.

Clients exit the pool smiling, feeling light & lively!

5) During class

The AquaCoach focuses on proper breathing & visualizations throughout the invigorating hour.

Each move is demonstrated by the AquaCoach (either in the water or out for better viewing). The AquaCoach also circulates in the pool, to correct clients’
positioning & customize the level as needed.

You sit on the aquabike, submerged to your waist, with great music pumping & a fun AquaCoach to guide you.

What to bring to class

A bathing suit, rash guard or cycling shorts

A water bottle to drink

Swim socks, if desired. Barefoot is fine, too.

A friend (highly recommended for added fun!)
