Call it what you wish, it is brilliant!

Not only is it an exciting entire body workout, but an adventure of the spirit!


No matter what the fitness level, if your a first time visitor to the Aqua Realm or a Tour de France Yellow Jacket wearer, Hydrocycling can be enjoyed by all to maximum benefit for the body.

Hydrocycling works for fitness beginners, seniors or people with disabilities. It is equally effective for elite athletes or fitness buffs that like to cycle all year round, and maintain their fitness to its peak. Team sports are also brilliantly catered for in Hydrocycling, thanks to the Team Building environment Hydrocycling as a group creates, plus with the cushioning effects of water around the limbs, makes a brilliant Rehab class post match or the next day.


Whether the weather outside is –30 Celsius or well above +30 Celsius, in the Aquatic domain we have a controlled environment, and with a stabilized base to work from that ensures focus on the entire body, thanks to using such aquatic principles and properties. In this domain serious consideration and prescription for the bodies bio-mechanic design and the physiological effects being submerged in part in water such can positively be shared.

A Aqua Bike not only gives the benefits that a normal Land cycling class can, but under the instruction of a fully qualified Aquacycling Instructor who has a thorough knowledge of Aquatic Principles and Properties, an excellent entire body work-out is possible. Focus is possible on all domains of fitness development, such as Fat Burning, Body Sculpting, Range of Motion effectiveness, Cardio vascular improvement, Respiratory improvement, Muscular Endurance, Muscular Strengthening, etc.

A Hydro Bike is not just a Bike put in water, but uses the properties of water turning Potential Energy into Kinetic Energy thanks to you the engine that will propel the drag apparatus, in a similar way the wind drives a windmill.

Being stationary and structurally sound, a Hydro Bike can also become an entire Aqua Gymnasium that can be used in a multitude of way. The GAIN*GLOW Master Trainers are trained in Hydrocycling to the degree they can demonstrate over 100 various exercises on and off the Hydro Bike, but at all times using the Aqua Cycle!

On top of these, consider the further possibilities, using standard Aquatic equipment, such as buoyant, drag and rubberized resistance equipment. The possibilities are only limited to the Instructors knowledge of exercise prescription in the Aquatic Environment and their bio-mechanic and physiological knowledge when consideration instruction is given in such. GAIN*GLOW shares this knowledge in their many courses on offer.

Many Hydro Bikes are designed so you can not only ride then like a normal cycling Bike, but using the principle of Buoyancy in the Aquatic domain, you can ride then also in the recumbent position, in a similar way that is possible if one decided to Spin in Space!
