What is Fluid Running?

​
This is not what you think!  This is not your typical aqua aerobics class or even aqua jogging – It’s Fluid Running®! Fluid Running® is a deep-water running class that gives you all the benefits of running on land – and more… without any impact! Running in the deep water challenges your cardiovascular system as well as the muscles in your legs, core and arms.  It’s an amazing full-body workout that burns 40% more calories than running on land due to the water resistance and all the additional muscles needed to do this work out.  Fitness-minded people, athletes and people trying to stay in shape or lose weight will benefit from adding Fluid Running® to their workout routine.  This non-weight bearing workout also allows most people recovering from injuries to participate.  The ability to swim is not required.  Water running flotation belts are provided.  Heart rate monitors are recommended, but not required, as well as a water bottle to keep you hydrated.  The minimum age for all classes is 18. 

Fluid Running Benefits

No Impact
Because fluid running is done in the deep part of the pool there isn’t any land weight. This significantly reduces the stress on joints, allowing people who are injured or suffer from arthritis to get the benefits of running without the stress of hard impact. Land running ground force is 3 times your actual body weight. For example, a 150 lb. runner strikes the ground with a force of 450 lbs., which can result in injury over time.

Rehabilitation
Not only does running in water allow you to continue working out, but it also helps speed up recovery times. Water pressure decreases swelling to injuries, flushes out metabolic waste, and increases blood flow by 30%, all of which lead to quicker recovery from joint and muscle injuries.

Private Sessions

Private sessions provide an opportunity to work with a certified coach one-on-one or with another individual.  The personalized attention guarantees proper Fluid Running form, as well as tailoring the workout to the individual’s fitness level and goals.  These sessions are ideal for people recovering from injuries or surgery, those who want to get stronger and faster without the negative effects of land-based workouts, or individuals who want to learn how to properly do Fluid Running prior to signing up for a group class. 
We require at least a 12-hour notice of cancellation before any private session

what to expect?
​Class starts with a warm-up "run" to music and then gradually works to higher intensities. The intensity is guided by an instructor but determined by each individual. You get what you give! There will be a short break near the middle and guided stretching at the end.
