What is Aqua Fitness?

Water fitness has evolved far beyond traditional aqua aerobics! The YMCAs of the North Shore are among the few facilities nationwide offering high-intensity, cutting-edge workouts in the pool. Our program features specialty equipment like Water Treadmills, Water Bikes, Aqua Poles (think TRX in the water!), and Stand-Up Fitness Mats—a unique experience you won’t find anywhere else in the region. This is your chance to be part of something truly special while growing your career and shaping a groundbreaking program.

You’ll guide classes, educate participants on proper form and technique, offer modifications as needed, and create a motivating atmosphere that keeps them coming back.

Our state-of-the-art facilities provide exceptional aquatic and fitness spaces, creating an engaging environment for both instructors and participants.
