Packing your bag, jumping in the car, and waiting in traffic just to get to the gym can be a tedious and motivation-sapping process. Take the admin out of exercise by simply stepping into a swim spa for your next workout. Open every day of the year, you can exercise on your own schedule to stay motivated and achieve your goals. Exercising in the water offers you a low-impact environment to work through functional movements, effectively improving cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and endurance.

Bring the gym to you with an Alpine Spas™ Swim Spa, offering all the benefits of a pool from the comfort of your home.

Benefits of Working Out in Water

Whether you’re an adult at the peak of your health or someone who suffers from a chronic condition like rheumatoid arthritis, or fibromyalgia, studies have proven that exercising in water will offer you a range of benefits. Water supports your body through buoyancy, which takes the pressure off your joints, to improve the range of motion and help you achieve greater results.

Exercising in warm water also makes your heart work slightly harder to pump blood around your body, meaning a cardiovascular workout is part-and-parcel. Users can easily adjust the temperature of the water in their swim spa through the control panel.

One more benefit of working out in a swim spa is that it’s a controlled environment where you don’t have to worry about falling off the treadmill or having someone drop a dumbbell on your foot.
