SUMMARY:Aqua Fitness (Fast Pace) Shenton Park - Thursdays 6:00pm
DESCRIPTION:12-Week Hydro Block: Mon 21 September – Fri 11 December 2026\nClass Description:\nAqua Fitness is a moderate-intensity class designed to improve strength\, endurance\, and functional movement through faster-paced water-based exercise. Led by a qualified instructor\, the class combines the therapeutic benefits of hydrotherapy with the conditioning elements of fitness training\, making it an ideal option for individuals seeking a more challenging aquatic workout.  \nResearch shows that exercising in water reduces joint loading while still allowing for effective strength and cardiovascular training. The buoyancy of the water supports safe movement\, while resistance from the water provides a natural form of strength training. Regular participation has been shown to improve muscle strength\, endurance\, mobility\, and balance\, while also reducing pain and stiffness in people with musculoskeletal conditions.  \nThe class format includes a structured warm-up\, several blocks of moderate to faster-paced conditioning exercises\, and a cool-down to promote recovery. This balanced approach ensures participants can build fitness\, strength\, and functional capacity  while enjoying the benefits of exercising in warm water.  \nRegistration Details:\n– This registration entitles you to attend 1 aqua class per week for 12 consecutive weeks (with the exception of this class occurring on a public holiday).\n– You may only attend the day and time allocated for this class.

SUMMARY:Aqua Fitness (Fast Pace) Shenton Park - Fridays 11:00am
DESCRIPTION:12-Week Hydro Block: Mon 21 September – Fri 11 December 2026\nClass Description:\nAqua Fitness is a moderate-intensity class designed to improve strength\, endurance\, and functional movement through faster-paced water-based exercise.

This balanced approach ensures participants can build fitness\, strength\, and functional capacity  while enjoying the benefits of exercising in warm water.  \nRegistration Details:\n– This registration entitles you to attend 1 aqua class per week for 12 consecutive weeks (with the exception of this class occurring on a public holiday).\n– You may only attend the day and time allocated for this class.
