Celebrating adult learners week from the 1st – 8th September 2019 we are offering new students their first swimming lesson for free!

Ever seen this piece of equipment at the gym and wondered how to incorporate it into your workout? They’re called a Bosu ball and they are a great idea to change up your exercises!

2. Squat jumps

Start in a side lunge position, and whilst balancing one foot on the Bosu ball and one foot on the floor, push off the ground to move the foot on the ground onto the ball whilst the foot on the ball moves onto the other side of the ball onto the floor. Keep alternating legs.

3. Burpees

Holding the Bosu ball upside down in the straight arm plank position, move your legs to a tucked position, do a standing squat whilst holding the ball. Stand-up and lift the ball above your head. Move the Bosu ball back down to the straight arm plank position, and add a push-up if you’re feeling a challenge! Then repeat.

4. and for an extra challenge… Bosu push-ups!

Grip your fingers on the edge of the Bosu ball upside down. Bend your elbows to lower your entire body into a push-up position, pushing your hand’s weight evenly into the ball. On the way up, push your entire body upwards whilst pulling the ball closer to your body, then land the Bosu ball back on the floor with bent arms and lower back into the push-up position. And repeat!

This is the sign you’ve been looking for to get your fitness back on track! Train at BayFit this August with our special offer of 10 gym visits for $10.

Are you looking to shape up the way you exercise in the water? Have you ever considered our popular Aqua Aerobics classes? We have a few reasons that may convince you to come down and try it out!

It’s for everyone:
Not many exercises can say that. Due to buoyancy, things appear lighter because the water is actually helping to push everything therefore, it’s easier on all of your joints.
It’s a great way to socialise:
Partaking in group fitness activities is a great way to meet people, to speak to others with similar interests, before, after and sometimes during the class!
It’s a full-body workout:
Just like swimming, AquaFit aims to move every single muscle in your body.

Find a suitable time for you by checking out our full group fitness timetable here

Guess what Bluefit swim members?

BayFit will now be offering pre-school classes in the evenings to cater for our working parents or parents who have difficulty making the morning classes!

To express your interest please speak to our reception staff or alternatively give us a call on 9392 2222!

With the winter season upon us, it becomes a little more difficult to get out of the house. However, swimming is a sport you can do all year round, and everyone can participate, especially when we have a heated indoor pool!

Here are our top 4 reasons why you and the family should hit up BayFit Leisure Centre:

Swimming is one of the few sports you can do throughout your lifetime
It does not require lots of special equipment and gear, all you really need is a swimsuit
It creates a reason to get together— a good way to socialise with your family
Did you know that swimming can boost your immune system? When cells in the body regularly get blood and oxygen, they function better

So what are you waiting for, grab your togs and let’s go!
