Frequently Asked Questions

Aquatic fitness (also called water aerobics or aquarobics) is exercise performed in water, typically in a swimming pool. It combines aerobic exercise with resistance training using water's natural properties. The buoyancy of water supports your body while providing resistance in every direction, making it an excellent low-impact workout that's gentle on joints while still providing an effective cardiovascular and strength workout.

Aquatic fitness is ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels, including:

• • Adults 55+ looking for gentle, joint-friendly exercise
• • People with arthritis or joint pain
• • Those recovering from surgery or injury
• • Pregnant women (pre/post-natal)
• • Athletes seeking cross-training and recovery
• • Anyone looking for an effective, low-impact workout

Perfect! Aquatic fitness is an excellent choice for beginners. Water's buoyancy makes movements gentle and controllable, while the resistance helps you build strength gradually. Jacqueline will start at your comfort level and progress at your pace. Many clients who haven't exercised in years or decades have found aquatic fitness to be the perfect way to get back into shape without the intimidation or impact of land-based exercise.

Absolutely! Aquatic fitness is highly recommended for people with arthritis and joint conditions. The warm water helps relax muscles and improve circulation, while buoyancy reduces stress on joints by up to 90%. Studies show that regular aquatic exercise can significantly reduce joint pain, improve flexibility, and increase range of motion. Many arthritis sufferers find water exercise to be the only form of activity they can do comfortably.

For optimal results, we recommend 2-3 sessions per week. However, even one session per week can provide significant benefits. Jacqueline will help you create a schedule that fits your goals and lifestyle. Whether you want to exercise more frequently or prefer a lighter schedule, the important thing is consistency. Water exercise is gentle enough to do more often than land exercise due to its low impact nature.

Aquatic fitness is often recommended by doctors for post-surgical rehabilitation and many medical conditions. Water provides a safe, supportive environment for recovery. However, please consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program and inform Jacqueline of any medical conditions, injuries, or surgeries. She will modify exercises as needed to ensure your safety and comfort. Jacqueline is licensed, insured, and CPR certified for your peace of mind.
