Are you taking advantage of FitClub’s indoor pools? Whether you’re new to swimming or an experienced swimmer, FitClub makes it easy to fit in a low-impact, highly effective pool workout at both the South and West locations.
Aqua Classes You don’t have to be a professional swimmer to reap the benefit
Finding a class: Both South and West have a large variety of aqua workout classes intentionally designed with all fitness-levels in mind. FitClub’s pools are busy activity centers throughout the morning and into the evenings. Finding a class that fits in your schedule is easy. Once you find a class that fits in your schedule, bring your swimsuit and a towel, and leave your body consciousness at home. FitClub is a judgment free facility where everyone can enjoy the benefits of the water.
Having trouble deciding which class is right for you? Read the descriptions, or try each one!
Plan to have fun: Working out in the water just might take you back to a playful childhood memory. The energetic instructors and flow of the water might even make you forget you’re getting in a workout. But don’t worry, even if you have fun, you’re burning calories, improving your fitness, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Lap Swim For those that want to swim independently, FitClub’s two pool locations also offer independent lap swim times.
Have a plan. If the idea of swimming length after length of freestyle doesn’t sound exciting enough for you, try interval training by spicing up your workout with periods of sprints followed by slower laps. Experiment with different strokes and throw in breaststroke or backstroke, or be adventurous and try butterfly stroke for an added challenge. Check out the US Olympic athletes for motivation and then sign up for adult swim lessons to learn new skills. Don’t forget to enroll the kids in swim lessons to get a head start on a healthy lifestyle and important water safety education.
Don’t limit yourself to laps. You don’t have to be an experienced swimmer to enjoy the health benefits of the pool. Walking in the water is a great form of cardiovascular exercise and is easy on the joints. Whether you’re trying to prevent injury or recovering from an injury, walking in the water burns calories, improves cardiovascular health and protects your joints at the same time.
Make it fun. When we were kids, swimming wasn’t exercise, it was just a fun way to pass a summer day. At FitClub, you don’t have to stop having fun when the outdoor pools close on Labor Day. FitClub’s indoor pools are open and accessible year-round, with scheduled time for open swim and family swim. Racing the kids in the pool burns calories, too, so take a break, have some fun, and know that you’re still getting fit.
