Aqua Cycling Victoria

Aqua Cycling Peeps Gone Walking are Walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk to Cure Mito! We know we’ll cross the finish line exhausted and blistered, but that’s nothing compared to what people with mitochondrial disease (mito) go through every day of their lives.

Guess who’s back??? 🩵💙

Also… 🥶🥶🥶 Hopefully this photo warms you up a little while we survive this Melbourne winter!

I can’t wait to see you all very soon. Let’s get back on the bike! 💦🚴‍♀️💙

How are you doing with your flyer? All ticked off?

We are taking a short break this winter but you can still reach out via text message or email.
Sessions will resume on Monday 20th July 🩵💙

❄️🚲 Winter has arrived… but Aqua Cycling Victoria keeps you warmer than these bikes! 💦🔥 🚲❄️

Looking at these poor bikes buried under snow, we’re pretty grateful our bikes stay in warm water instead! 😄

A quick reminder that Aqua Cycling Victoria will be taking a 4-week winter pause from Monday 22 June to Sunday 19 July while I take a short break.

📅 That means we still have 3 weeks left in the current term!

Over the next few weeks, please let me know if you would like to:

✅ Change your regular day or time for Term 3
✅ Add an extra weekly session
✅ Let me know about any holidays or absences so we can organise make-up classes
✅ Confirm your place for next term (cancelling is not an option 😉)

To help me plan Term 3 and make sure everyone gets the sessions they want, please get in touch as soon as possible.

💪 Don’t worry, I won’t leave you completely without exercise while I’m away! I’ll have some fitness work available to keep you moving during the break.

📖 Over the next 3 weeks, please start collecting your Winter Fitness Brochure, which will include ideas, exercises and challenges to keep you active until we’re back in the pool.

Thank you all for being part of our amazing Aqua Cycling community. Let’s make these last 3 weeks of the term count! 💦🚴‍♀️

Unlike these bikes, our Aqua Bikes won’t be frozen this winter… just temporarily parked! ❄️😉🚲💦

💪

Last night and this morning’s classes were FULL… and honestly, I couldn’t be prouder ❤️

Cold weather, rain, dark mornings, dark evenings… and still you all showed up, worked hard and absolutely smashed the sessions 💦🔥

The workouts were tough, but the energy in the pool was incredible. That’s what consistency looks like 👏

As a coach, seeing everyone turn up, push themselves and support each other even during Melbourne winter makes me so proud. This community is something special 🥹

Thank you for bringing the motivation, the laughs and the effort every single session.

Winter won’t stop us 💪🏼🩵💙

❄️ Melbourne winter is definitely here… cold mornings, rainy days and the temptation to stay under the blanket a little longer 😅

But the good news? At Aqua Cycling Victoria, our centres are warm, welcoming and ready for you 💦🔥

And for our evening participants… there’s honestly nothing better than finishing a cold winter day with a warm water workout ✨
A great way to move, switch off from the day and leave feeling refreshed and energised.

Winter is actually one of the most important times to stay consistent with movement. Keeping active helps with:
✨ Energy levels
✨ Strength & fitness
✨ Motivation & routine
✨ Mental wellbeing during the colder months

You never regret coming to a session… but you’ll always feel better after it 🙌

Remember: consistency beats perfection every time. Even one session can change your whole day

See you in the warm water soon! 🩵💙

This week’s ACV participant! (Yes, I know I’m not the most consistent with social media 😅)
Marika has been with us since almost day one, and what a character she is! She loves her sport, loves going out, and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever heard her say, “I’m not doing anything today.” You’re such a great example of embracing life and enjoying it to the fullest

1. What changes have you noticed since starting Aqua Cycling? That it challenges me and improves my cardio and leg strength
2. How does Aqua Cycling make you feel physically or mentally? It wakes me up and starts my day off on the right note!
3. What keeps you coming back each week? The variety and great instructor who pushes us!
4. What would you say to someone thinking about trying Aqua Cycling? It’s harder than you think but is an alternative cardio session that is easier on overall joints especially if mobility issues and you cannot keep up with land based workouts.
5. What’s the best thing about training in a group? Camaraderie and making new friendships
6. What made you try Aqua Cycling in the first place? Recommendation from a friend
7. One word to describe Aqua Cycling? Steroids on underwater wheels!
8. How do you feel after a session? Invigorated!
9. Is there anything you’d like to add? I love aqua and pushing myself and always feel so much better at the end of each session and Audrey is amazing with the variety of workouts and knowing how far she can push us all!

Thank you Marika 🩵💙

Back to full schedule! See you all very soon 🥳
