The Aquatrend Water Workout
Station™ is aquatic exercise
equipment for practically any in-ground pool, indoors or
outdoors. It provides a platform for toning and
strengthening muscle, increasing flexibility, and
promoting good cardiovascular health for both general
health and fitness and for physical therapy and
rehabilitation. The Aquatrend’s compact design
means it takes little valuable pool space. It is
manufactured of marine-grade stainless steel to provide
maximum durability, but at only 37 pounds it can be
easily removed – for storage, cleaning, etc - at any
time. The Aquatrend Water Workout Station provides
effective, low-impact aquatic workouts for people of all
ages.
