Making waves on the rooftop pool of ibis Budget Singapore Clarke Quay hotel, 11 fitness enthusiasts were treated to an hour-long Aqua Fitness program by The Fitness Project.


Founded by national athletes, The Fitness Project previously ran a HIIT and Yoga based workout on water termed as Hydro Fit, but had the program discontinued since it started local fitness studio Grityard.

While the participants of Urban Sports and Wellness Week did not get to experience the full Hydro Fit program of old, it was still an hour of fun as they were give a full-body workout both on boards as well as in the water.


Fusing a mix of yoga and HIIT moves, participants had to use their core to balance well on the boards so as not to fall into the water.


The other half of the Aqua Fitness program saw the participants submerged in the other half of the pool using resistance-based workouts with the help of equipment such as noodles and boards.

A modified workout on water this time, the Aqua Fitness program was less intense than its predecessor HydroFit, in order to cater to a wider group of participants with varying fitness levels.
