Hydrohex is an all-new aqua fitness concept where the classes are presented virtually via a screen from the side of the pool. There are currently four different class types: Cardio, Power, Move and Beat, each of which offers something different, with each class requiring you to put in varying levels of strength, mobility, choreography and heart rate.
All Hydrohex classes help you to burn calories and lose weight, while they’re also great for stretching your muscles, improving flexibility and range of movement in your joints. You’ll also boost your stamina and endurance, while the classes will also help to build muscle mass.
Hydrohex is currently only available at a small number of Everyone Active centres, but we are in the process of expanding it across the business.
Benefits of Hydrohex
There are myriad benefits of Hydrohex virtual aqua fitness classes, many of which stem from the fact that the classes take place in the pool, thereby helping to support your body, but also providing resistance against the movements you’re doing as part of your workout.
Low Impact
By exercising in water, you’re greatly decreasing the impact on your joints. This drastically lowers the risk of injury, while also making it a great workout if you’re currently recovering from an injury. This is because the water helps to support your joints and muscles, thereby significantly reducing the load that goes through them while exercising.
Burns Calories
Don’t think, however, that just because it’s a low-impact work out, you won’t feel the benefit. Far from it! Hydrohex is a great way to burn calories and lose weight. It doesn’t isolate just one part of the body, either. Every Hydrohex session is a full-body workout, meaning you’ll never forget leg day!
