What is AQXonFloats?

Floating fitness is a new trend in programming. 
Performing exercises on an unstable SUP board or floating mat is exciting!  AQXonFloats provides exercises to target balance, core strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness.

People can attend AQXonFloats training for personal interest or to prepare to instruct floating fitness classes. General fitness programs or specialized exercise like yoga, can be conducted on a floating board or mat ("Float").

AQXonFloats pool classes can be used to prepare people for stand up paddling on SUP boards. However, using a SUP board in open water requires further training - beyond the scope of this program.

Step One

Complete the AQXonFloats online dryland introductory course. This course prepares you for the AQXonFloats practical workshop or certification course. The online course includes a short theory exam and includes a certificate of completion.
​
Please complete your AQXonFloats online training at least a week in advance of your practical pool course participation. 

Step Two

Attend or request an AQXonFloats practical course at your facility. The practical pool course requires adequate floats for participants, classroom and pool time. Ideally, pool time will be 1.5 hours late morning; 1.5 hours late afternoon.  A suitable classroom will be used during the rest of the day.
Facility managers interested in hosting AQXonFloats training should get in touch about pricing and registration options.

Step Three

Successful completion of AQXonFloats online and practical training leads to Level 1 Certification.
Anyone can take AQXonFloats training for personal interest or continuing education, rather than certification.
Level 2 AQXonFloats Certification requires Level 1 Cert + ≥1 year of instructional experience and a practical assessment by an AQX Master Trainer (assessment fee required)
