Aqua Fit Miami

SO MUCH MORE THAN A GREAT WORKOUTSeems to be common knowledge what a great overall body workout the water provides.  What is less well known are the other benefits over and above the unconventional gear AquaFit Miami uses.  In our class we are an eclectic group of women with origins from many different countries and range in age spanning from a young mother who recently gave birth to twins, to the various stages of middle age, to women in their eighth decade.  We started in February 2018 once a week and here we are in August 2019 and we meet for aquafit twice a week and some of us would do it three or four times a week if possible, but with everybody's busy schedule it's difficult to find times that work for everyone.When we enter the water on Saturday morning we become one, sharing everything from our various languages to our favorite music (which Stuart arranges for us on Spotify) to our favorite recipes/ restaurants, and beyond.  The social, emotional and mental health benefits are difficult to describe but for sure we all feel, no matter the challenges that have been presented to each of us during the course of the week (whether it is a new health issue, work situation, stress of being a caregiver, family problems, death of a loved one, whatever) we are all there for each other and feel the healing that begins to take place the moment we enter the water and begin to move our bodies.  At the end of the session, the increased energy and mental calm are palpable.In our mid week evening class, we end the day together, which brings a whole other energy, more like gratitude for the day and the opportunity to re-energize as the sun goes down.  It seems to be just the right blend of exercise in a beautiful setting at the edge of Biscayne Bay, with water refreshing you every step of the way (as opposed to working out in a sweaty gym)  with a group of people you've come to appreciate and feel close to including Stuart, our instructor, who really "gets" us and always knows exactly what we need.  He is the best!

SO MUCH MORE THAN A GREAT WORKOUT It seems to be common knowledge what a great overall workout the water provides. What is less well known are the other benefits over and above the unconventional gear that AquaFit Miami uses. In our class, we are an eclectic group of women with origins from many different countries and range in age spanning from a young mother who recently gave birth to twins, to the various stages of middle age, to women in their eighth decade. We started in February of 2018 once a week and here we are in August 2019 meeting for AquaFit twice a week and some of us would do it as often as three or four times a week, but with scheduling it's difficult to get everyone together more than twice a week. When we enter the water together on Saturday morning we become one, sharing everything from our various languages to our favorite music (which Stuart arranges for us on Spotify) to our favorite recipes, movies, Netflix series, and beyond. The social, emotional and mental health benefits are difficult to describe but for sure we all feel, no matter what challenges we have faced during the course of the week (whether it be a new health issue, work situation, stress of being a caregiver, family problems, death of a loved one, whatever) we are all there for each other and feel the healing that begins to take place the moment we enter the water and begin to move our bodies.

It seems to be just the right blend of exercise in a beautiful setting at the edge of Biscayne Bay, with water refreshing you every step of the way (as opposed to a sweaty gym), with a group of people you've come to feel close to and most importantly, Stuart, our instructor, who really "gets" us and always knows exactly what we need.

GREAT WAY TO GET IN SHAPEThe exercises done in AquaFit Miami will get you in shape.  Totally different experience than working out on land.  Lots of resistance for good muscle development but feels much smoother than lifting weights, and less aches afterwards. Exercises major muscles as well as other muscles that you don't ordinarily hit in other workouts.  Water is a great medium!  Aside from the physical, we (my classmates and I) benefit emotionally and mentally as well.  Something about being one with the water.  Hard to appreciate the benefits of aquafit therapy  without being there.  I highly recommend it!
