Deep Water Conditioning with Variable Resistance Cuffs

Deep Water Conditioning with Variable Resistance Cuffs is a non-impact, high intensity fitness program with many benefits, including cross-training and rehabilitation therapy.

What is Deep Water Conditioning with Variable Resistance Cuffs?

It is a unique exercise system based on accommodating, variable, and multidimensional resistance, which will conform to your changing muscular capacity in all directions of movement. No machine on dry land can duplicate these effects.

The program is designed to develop all of the components of physical fitness. It will increase muscular and cardiovascular strength & endurance, improve flexibility, and decrease percentage of body fat. Our specially designed, inflatable Variable Resistance Cuffs (worn on your ankles and wrists) provide enough buoyancy to keep your head and shoulders above the water so that all exercises can be performed in vertical suspension-giving you a totally non-impact workout.

Our Variable Resistance Cuffs will increase the resistance of the water by a minimum factor of three. It will require three times more force for a leg with a cuff to move through the water than would be required of a bare leg moving through the water at the same speed.

I don’t know how to swim; can I still participate in this program?

There is no swimming in Deep Water Conditioning, however we require that all participants are comfortable in deep water and complete one or more training sessions with one of our in-water coaches, before coming alone to deep water class.

How intense is a Deep Water Conditioning workout?

Your own strength will determine how intensely you work in the water. Personal capacity will of course vary among participants, but because you cannot exert more force against a resistance than you actually have, you can never get more of a workload than you can handle. As you are able to increase the length of your movements to a given speed, you will be increasing the resistance workload. The workload capacity is virtually unlimited.

How can I rent or purchase Variable Resistance Cuffs?

These specially designed and trademarked cuffs, which are worn on both your wrists and ankles, can be rented or purchased at the class or by contacting Trey Mason at (310)809-2818 or [email protected].

How to Enroll

Call or text Trey at (310)809-2818 or e-mail [email protected], to arrange for an in-water coach to orient you to the program. In your first class, the coach explains the cuffs, and is in the water with you coaching you on the basic techniques. The student pays the coach $15 for this initial session.
