AquaFitness

* AquaEase, AquaMove and AquaYoga require pre-booking for the term. 

If it’s moderate intensity, minimal impact you’re after, AquaLow may just be the perfect class for you. We offer three 45-minute low intensity classes a week, designed with your joints in mind. Your knees will thank you as you enjoy the weightlessness and resistance of the water while improving fitness and toning muscles.

If it’s intensity, energy and a heart pumping workout you seek, try this class. You’ll increase your cardio fitness, gain strength and tone muscles during a session where all exercises can be scaled to suit your ability. With four high intensity classes per week your fitness will improve in no time.

Taught in deep water with buoyancy belts, this incredible class has no impact at all, but don’t think for a second that you’re not going to get a great workout! This is our highest intensity class and a favourite of many. Your core stability, endurance and cardio fitness will all be tested, but the results will be well worth it, and the fun will keep you coming back for more. We have three deep water classes available each week so come and give it a try.

Hi, I’m Zuri! I have a background in classical and modern contemporary dance and over 30 years of teaching experience in various fitness disciplines, including yoga, Zumba, and Pilates.

Passion changes everything! For over 30 years I represented Les Mills as a presenter, trainer, assessor and group fitness manager. I also competed, coached and judged for the New Zealand Competitive Aerobic Federation. I discovered AquaFit three years ago and absolutely love it and I know you will be challenged and inspired by this fun programme too.

Proud mother of two beautiful children who keep me on my toes, I am passionate about dance and fitness. I am a qualified Royal Academy of Dance ballet teacher and have a diploma in commercial dance. I love passing on the joy of dance to my students and am excited to bring those elements to my AquaFit classes! Come and join in the fun!

Hi everyone! I'm Pip, a new member of the Aquafit team. Just like you, I have a passion for staying fit and striving to be my best. I look forward to embarking on this incredible AquaFit journey with you all as we push our limits and achieve greatness together.

Hello, my name is Lianne, most people know me as Li.

In my 20+ years of teaching Yoga I have taught various styles of this wonderful practice, accommodating to all levels and abilities.

What I have learnt most from this experience of teaching is that this way of moving will always meet you where you’re at and give you exactly what you need regardless of age, flexibility and ability.

We will flow gently and softly, allowing the resistance of water to support us and what our needs are on the day.

I can’t wait to meet you, and for you to discover how seemingly soft and calming AquaYoga is and also, how incredibly powerful the effects can be. Not only for our bodies but our minds and moods too.

I have recently discovered the world of AquaFit! How freeing it is to move your body in the water? Having been a group fitness instructor previously, teaching AquaFit has brought me back to my roots of moving my body. My classes are more fast paced, with a lot of laughs. Come along and move your body with me, it’s all fun in the water! 

I have worked in the dance industry as a performer, teacher, and choreographer in both NZ and Australia. I moved to the Kāpiti Coast in 2003 and have been teaching both dance and aquafitness ever since. I teach AquaMove and introducing a new class, AquaGroove that is not too fast, and not too slow, and lots of fun.
