Floatfit set to make waves at Ainslie Park

An exciting new water-based fitness class is to set sail at Edinburgh Leisure’s Ainslie Park.

The first place to offer this new HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) in the city, Floatfit® is a revolutionary, low impact, cross-training, 30 minute workout on water, using the only floating exercise mat, the aquabase®.

Floatfit® offers a full body workout. The benefits the movement created by the water, requires both the core and concentration to work together, to stay on top of the body length floating exercise mat, the aquabase®.

Marie Kneeshaw, Aquatics Development Officer at Edinburgh Leisure explained: “Edinburgh Leisure is the first place in the city to offer this new water based exercise class that is taking the world by storm.

“It offers a full body workout. Intricate stabilisation muscles that prevent dislocation and add strength to joints really have to work overtime and its these muscles fibres that often go unworked in your average workout. At the end of the workout, you won’t know if your core is sore from laughing or the workout.”
