Benefits of Water-Based Resistance Training 💪
Water-based exercise offers unique advantages that land-based workouts can't match. The natural buoyancy of water reduces pressure on joints while providing continuous resistance in all directions, making it ideal for people managing arthritis, recovering from injuries, or seeking gentle yet effective exercise.
At Mount Hot Pools, nestled at the base of Mauao, you'll enjoy stunning views while working out in a supportive environment. The pool's gradual depth allows you to choose your comfortable working level - no swimming experience required!
