Aqua-jogging closely mimics natural running form & provides a neuromuscular workout that, in addition to aerobic benefits, helps keep the running-specific muscles active. The same can't be said for biking & swimming. This is a perfect workout for everyone especially runners who want to switch it up. Running in the water is 15% harder than on land due to the resistance. You won't want to miss this awesome workout!
NEW! Hydrorider Spin Class
Pool: Mumford's Landing
Try our Hydrorider class for a different workout! Hydroriders are user-friendly, in-water cycling bikes that are perfect for any skill level. Buoyancy provides support for joints & is wonderful for people with arthritis. Water exercise also allows you to train at a higher intensity rate due to the cooling effect & recover at a faster rate.
