Acquapole redefines fitness at Sydney Gymnastic and Aquatic Centre

Acquapole redefines fitness at Sydney Gymnastic and Aquatic Centre
February 18, 2025

Acquapole - an exciting aquatic fitness experience - has launched at Sydney Gymnastic and Aquatic Centre (SGAC) at West HQ.

Acquapole combines the resistance of water with the strength-building benefits of pole fitness for a workout that’s effective, accessible and a “whole lot of fun”.

Brad Vella, Aquatics Manager at SGAC, said Aquapole, which was designed in Italy, has proven to be a big hit in Europe given its ability to build strength, improve flexibility, and enhance coordination while being gentle on joints.

Vella advised “it’s a workout like no other, combining the strength-building benefits of pole fitness with the natural resistance of water for a full-body experience that’s as enjoyable as it is effective.

“It’s perfect for anyone looking to try something new, from seasoned fitness lovers to those just starting their wellness journey.

“Acquapole brings a fresh and exciting approach to fitness for both enthusiasts and beginners. This is exactly what SGAC is all about—making fitness accessible and enjoyable for everyone.”

The introduction of Acquapole is part of West HQ’s larger mission to bring cutting-edge fitness experiences to Greater Sydney. Acquapole is one of four innovative aquatic fitness programs now available at SGAC, alongside Acquapole Boxing, Acquapole Elastics, and SAF AQUA Drums Vibes, each offering a unique and engaging way to work out in the water.

West HQ Chief Executive Richard Errington said SGAC was committed to redefining fitness to ensure its programs continue to be to be relevant, enjoyable and dynamic, explaining "that’s why both SGAC and our One55 fitness centre continually evolve programs to make working out more rewarding by bringing fresh experiences to our members and the local community in Western Sydney.

“SGAC’s Acquapole is a perfect example of how we evolve fitness as it combines fun and innovation in a new work out experience.”  

By combining world-class fitness options with exceptional dining and entertainment, West HQ is continuously enhancing what it means to be an all-encompassing lifestyle destination in Western Sydney.
