Benefits of Aqua Fitness for Kiwis 🏊‍♀️

Water-based exercise provides a brilliant workout option for many New Zealanders looking for effective, accessible fitness. The natural resistance of water creates an ideal environment for building strength without stressing your joints.

Why Aquafit Works:

• The buoyancy of water reduces impact on joints by up to 90%
• Water provides natural resistance in all directions
• Helps improve cardiovascular fitness
• Supports better balance and coordination
• Creates a refreshing workout experience regardless of fitness level

Exercising in water also helps regulate body temperature during workouts, making it comfortable year-round in our Wanaka facility. Many participants find the supportive environment builds confidence while providing effective muscle toning.

No swimming skills are required - exercises are performed in chest-deep water where you can stand comfortably. The social aspect of Aquafit also makes it a fantastic way to meet other active community members while improving your fitness in a supportive group setting.
