In fact, many clients have reported that WaterGym helped them to get in shape faster and easier than any other exercise program they've tried!

DO I GET MY HAIR WET?
No! Your head is kept dry and out of the water, so you don't have to wash or re-style your hair or redo your make-up. Many students take WaterGym early in the morning and go straight to work afterwards.

DEEP WATER? HOW DO I STAY AFLOAT?

"Imagine your body, liberated, free... able to move ways impossible on land.” It’s easy! You're suspended in deep-water by wearing a flotation belt around your waist, which leaves your body totally free to work against the resistance of the water. HOW IS WATERGYM DIFFERENT FROM SWIMMING?

WaterGym and swimming are two entirely different workouts that have certain goals that are almost exactly opposite to one another. Swimmers specialize in "drag minimizing" techniques, whereas WaterGym participants specialize in "drag maximizing" techniques.

SWIMMING
DRAG MINIMIZNG TECHNIQUES
coupled with SPEED & POWER

Swimmers learn specialized techniques to MINIMIZE THE DRAG FORCES on their bodies so they streamline through the water creating the least amount of resistance in order to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible.

Swimming has a multitude of benefits, provides an excellent cardiovascular and calorie burning workout and primarily works the muscles of your upper body, unless leg strengthening drills are performed using a kick-board.

WATERGYM
DRAG MAXIMIZING TECHNIQUES
coupled with SPEED & POWER

Whereas WaterGym participants learn specialized techniques to MAXIMIZE THE DRAG FORCES on their bodies, particularly on the surface areas of our limbs, to tone and build lean muscle.

WaterGym, similar to swimming, is an excellent cardiovascular workout, but working the limbs against the resistance of the water tones and strengthens virtually all of the major muscle groups of the body. And it is especially effective for toning and strengthening the muscles of the lower half the body; the buttocks and thighs.

Water like an instantly-adjustable weight machine. Every direction you move a limb becomes an opportunity to strengthen and build balanced muscle groups.
