AQX AquaCycling Certification - What's Involved?

The AquaCycling course can be used with any make or model of aquatic cycle.
AquaCycling is a comprehensive training and certification course from AQX!  

Who should attend? This course is ideal for aqua fitness leaders who will be teaching AquaCycling classes. It is also intended for land-based indoor cycling instructors, land-based fitness instructors and personal trainers who will be moving to the pool to teach group or 1:1 AquaCycling.

The full day AquaCycling course instructs leaders how to:
  • Fit aquatic cycles to riders
  • Transport cycles safely into and out of the pool
  • Position cycles appropriately in the pool
  • Train riders to safely use seated, standing and recumbent riding
  • Create AquaCycling workouts appropriate to a variety of rider abilities
  • Structure AquaCycling programs to meet your facility's needs
  • Adapt AquaCycling classes appropriately for therapeutic and/or recreational pool usage

​There are two levels of AquaCycling certification. Level 1 involves fully attending an AquaCycling course and achieving 80% on a written theory exam.  Level 2 certification is achieved after a year of teaching AquaCycling, and a successful practical assessment.  

Step One

Arrange an AquaCycling course at your facility.  The course requires two - three hours of pool time with the aquatic cycles (ideally, 1.5 hours late morning; 1.5 hours mid afternoon).  A suitable training room (classroom) will be used during the rest of the day. 

Step Two

Immediately following the AquaCycling course, candidates write a multiple choice theory exam.  This open-book exam requires a score of 80% to pass. Successful completion of the theory exam leads to Level 1 AquaCycling Certification

Step Three

Leaders who have AquaCycling Level 1 Certification, and have been teaching AquaCycling classes for a year, can submit a video of their AquaCycling class for assessment.  An assessment fee applies. Successful assessment leads to AquaCycling Level 2 Certification.  Contact AQX for guidelines and more information.
