Aqua fitness at Hotel Auerhahn: active in the indoor pool

Aqua fitness at Hotel Auerhahn on Schluchsee is joint-friendly movement in the water: a class in the indoor pool that gently activates circulation and muscles and is part of our activity plan. Because the water supports body weight, the training suits almost every fitness level. The class is part of the changing activity plan; duration and times follow the current weekly programme.

In this article you will learn what aqua fitness is, what benefits it offers and who the class is for.

What is aqua fitness – and why does it feel so good?

Aqua fitness is movement training in water. Water resistance makes the exercises effective, while buoyancy takes pressure off joints and the spine. Movement can thus be combined with a pleasant, light feeling.

The main benefits:

  • Joint-friendly: buoyancy relieves knees, hips and back
  • Circulation-boosting: moving against the water resistance provides a gentle stimulus
  • Strengthening: muscles work evenly, without hard impact
  • Enjoyable: the training feels light and is fun in a group

That makes aqua fitness ideal for an active yet relaxed day on a wellness holiday.

Where and how does aqua fitness take place at the Auerhahn?

The class takes place in our indoor pool with counter-current system and is part of the day’s activity plan. The session is structured so that beginners can follow just as well as more experienced guests. Duration and times follow the current weekly programme; a brief registration at reception is recommended.

How to prepare:

  • Bring: swimwear; towel and bathrobe depending on the type of stay
  • Arrival: be at the pool shortly before the class starts
  • Afterwards: then use the sauna, brine pool or relaxation room

The character of the class is activating rather than sporty-hard – movement that does you good, not competition.

Who is aqua fitness suitable for?

Aqua fitness is suitable for almost all guests who want to move gently – including those with sensitive joints or little training experience. You generally do not need to be able to swim, as the exercises are designed for safe participation.

If you prefer to be active on your own, use the counter-current system for quiet laps or complement the day with further sessions from the activity plan.

How do you combine aqua fitness with wellness?

Movement in water and relaxation go perfectly together – at the Auerhahn the two sit side by side.

A well-rounded day at Schluchsee can look like this:

  1. Morning: aqua fitness in the indoor pool
  2. Midday: light cuisine and a break
  3. Afternoon: sauna, brine pool and rest in the wellness area
  4. Evening: a dining evening at the hotel

Day guests can take part too: the Day Spa for €65 per person (daily 9 am–6 pm) includes participation in that day’s activity plan depending on the offer.
