Aquatic Boot Camp

The Randolph YMCA is featuring a new water-based program, Aquatic Boot Camp, designed around the Hydroworx X80 underwater treadmill. It is a 45 minute high-intensity workout including upper-body exercises, spinning, tethered swimming, and core and lower-body strength moves. It is the same type of program that world class runners use for training.

The addition of three X80's to the already superior aquatic training equipment at the Randolph YMCA has enhanced staff's ability to meet the needs of all segments of our membership, from elite athletes to people needing rehab after injury or members looking for a new and different form of workout.
