Aqua fitness classes in the Olympic pool at the Monte-Carlo Beach Club

 

Want an alternative to fitness and yoga classes in Monaco? Try an in-pool workout! The Olympic pool at the Monte-Carlo Beach Club is the perfect setting for getting motivated and letting off some steam in the sunshine. Each week, the club’s lifeguards teach Aquagym classes to music. Thighs, abs, butt, arms and more – an aquatic fitness class is an effective full-body workout. The resistance of the water strengthens your muscles, giving you a firm and toned body! If you’re looking for something even more intense, check out an Aquabike session. Enjoy an invigorating 45-minute class in the lovely heated pool. The water aerobics classes are held in groups, but you can also book a private session.
