Fairmont The Palm has added more Aquaspin fitness classes, bringing their total to nine a week.

The fun and interactive class uses stationary bicycles submerged in water, so participants benefit from the water resistance when they pedal. Additionally, the water offers reduced pressure on joints, making the classes ideal for post-operation recovery. You can even burn up to 800 calories in a session, versus 500 for a regular spin class.

“Aquaspin provides a very special aquatic massage, which boosts blood circulation, reduces lactic acid build-up (reduced muscle soreness) and enhances the lymphatic drainage,” said Alicia Antonuccio, co-founder of Aqua Spin Pte Ltd. “This will lead to a reduction of metabolic waste in the body which increases vitality and your body’s ability to flush out toxins and fat.”
