Our Pool Classes at Defined Fitness
Water in Motion®
A high-energy, music-driven workout that pairs choreographed cardio with the natural resistance of water. Raise your heart rate and train your full body while staying low-impact.
Aqua Fitness
A classic water aerobics class combining cardio intervals, strength work, and balance training using pool equipment and bodyweight. Get total-body conditioning with minimal stress on your joints.
Aqua Zumba®
All the dance-party energy of Zumba—just in the pool. The water adds resistance (and a little splash), so you'll sweat, smile, and burn calories without the impact.
Adaptive Aquatics
A slower-paced class built for sore joints, limited mobility, or post-surgery movement. You'll focus on gentle strength, range of motion, and feeling better week to week.
What Makes Defined Fitness Aquatics Different?
Indoor pools – Year-round access to the pool for both therapy and training.
Inclusive programming – From high-energy Aqua Zumba® to gentle Adaptive Aquatics, there's a class for every fitness level and health need.
Full-service amenities – Locker rooms with showers, pool showers, pool lifts for accessibility, and locker rentals.
All-access membership – Unlimited pool and class use are included in every Defined Fitness membership—no lane-rental fees, ever.
Why Train in the Water?
Easy on your joints, tough on your muscles – Water supports your body weight, so you get a real workout with less impact.
Strength from every angle – Every push, pull, and twist meets resistance, so you're training more muscles at once.
Cardio without overheating – You can get your heart rate up and still feel comfortable since the water helps keep you cool.
Move better – Water-based movements build range of motion, balance, and core control in a way that feels natural.
Great for recovery – The water's gentle pressure can help reduce swelling and soreness after harder workouts on land.
