Group Fitness

Motivating music, encouraging instructors and energy from other participants make each work out a great social activity and stress-reliever. Aquatic exercise uses water resistance to increase endurance, strength and flexibility while protecting the body’s joints from high force impact.

Our professionally trained instructors welcome new faces no matter their age, fitness level or gender. We have a wide range of group training classes to suit all abilities and interests. All of our classes will incorporate a warm up, main workout and cool down for a complete exercise session.

Do you have injuries limiting your ability? No worries! Our instructors are trained to modify exercises to suit all abilities, making all our classes extremely inclusive and empowering.

Geraldton Aquarena Group Fitness classes are enjoyable, safe and effective workouts all year round.

Here are 3 reasons you should try our Aqua Fitness classes:

1. Increased fitness. Swimming improves flexibility, muscle tone, muscular balance, endurance, and the body’s circulation.
2. It's good for your mind. A workout releases endorphins and uses cortisol, boosting your mood. Enjoy reduced pain perception, reduced stress, ward off anxiety and promote better sleep.
3. Aqua Fitness classes are low impact, perfect for those with injuries or joint issues. In waist deep water, the body handles only 50 percent of its weight. At chest height the number is reduced to approximately 25-35 percent.**Deep water, less than 10%
