Aqua Strength

Aqua Strength is a mixture of intervals and resistance training. Utilizing the leisure pool and specialized equipment, you will get an effective full-body workout that is friendly to the joints. You can expect to perform traditional strength movements like squats, presses, and rows built in circuits or timed blocks to focus on muscular and cardiovascular endurance.

Premium Aqua Fitness Classes

Spaces are limited for all aquatic group fitness classes. Registration is required to attend both the free and paid aquatic programs. You may register on the first day of class, but spots may be filled up. To secure your spot, sign up at the Rec Center's Member Services desk by calling 513-556-0604 and press 2, or sign up online on our Membership Portal.

Immerse yourself in the excitement of a high-intensity water workout in the shallow end of the Leisure Pool. This class offers a low-impact option that's perfect for everyone, regardless of your swimming abilities. Come on in and make a splash without the need for diving!
