Aqua Gentle / Natal

• A gentle aquarobics class designed specifically for pre and post natal women and seniors.
• Also good for people recovering from surgery,
• experiencing joint or mobility issues,
• those new to exercise,
• or participants returning after a extended time out.
• Numbers are limited to provide more space for each participant (after all we have babies on board!)
• Pre natal women are welcome to bring a support person to class with them – friend, mum, aunty etc

Don’t be fooled by the name, you will still get a great workout in this class, but at a pace that is suited to the people it is designed for.
As this is a class designed for specific needs, please attend one of our timetabled Aqua Fit or Aqua Deep classes if you do not fall into any of the categories above.

Benefits of Aqua Exercise during pregnancy – fact sheet
“Whether a first time or more experienced Mum, everyone can benefit from Aquarobic exercise during pregnancy. It’s a special time just for Mums and their friends to exercise, meet other Mums to be, and chat all things pregnancy related. We often see long term friendships being forged, and a great sense of camaraderie and understanding between participants. It’s a great way to bond with baby and have time out from our busy lives, while also looking after your health and fitness – plus it’s fun!”. Julie, Aquarobics instructor.
