proveNceLocated in the south of France, by the Mediterranean Sea, the Provence region takes you into a world of fragrances and tastes with a very unique way of life. A special destination, with a multitude of inspiring colors in many shades: purples, blues, greens… It is difficult not to be completely drawn to Provence! Romantic yet dynamic, it slowly reveals its secrets… Provence inspires emotions, passion, and it is where Waterflex finds its inspiration. AS MARCEL PAGNOL, A FAMOUS AUTHOR FROM PROVENCE, WROTE: “HE WHO CAN FEEL PASSION IS ALSO ABLE TO INSPIRE IT”.

The Waterflex philosophy

The pool l i festyle

The benefits of aquafitnessA sporT For everyBodyFrom beginners to confirmed athletes, aquafitness is also ideal for resuming a phy-sical activity after a break or an injury. And no matter what shape you are in, you can always customize pace and resistance to your own needs. SENIORS, PEOPLE WITH SENSITIVE JOINTS OR EXCESS WEIGHT, PREGNANT WOMEN OR ATHLETES CAN ALL, DISCOVER THE PLEASURES OF EXERCISING IN WATER !

A New TherApeUTic Tool« The aquabike is a new tool which provides different physical therapy options, along with the freedom to train several people at the same time. Therapeutically-speaking, we now can combine 3 benefits: pressure therapy, lymphatic drainage and movement rehabilitation» Antoine, Physical Therapist.

Clients/Patients are eagerly looking for the multi-benefits of water therapy, where the pedal flow preserves sensitive joints and contributes to a renewed and improved range of movements and better joint flexibility.

A sTress-relieverNothing better than stepping into the water and onto your favorite fitness equipment to forget it all and start relaxing! Add your favorite music, and the result will definitely motivate you to put every thought on hold. Just pedal and go… !YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY FEEL MORE RELAXED.

A New TrAiNiNg ToolThe pressure created by water, while working out, improves cardio-vascular capacity and endurance, so you can stay in shape easily. The resistance of our products can be individually modified to the desired level of difficulty and training requirements. The resulting water movements provide a draining massage, stimulating blood flow to the legs, which then feel lighter, relieved. Muscles such as quadriceps, gluteus, thighs and abs are simultaneously exercised, contributing to a better toned body. FOR PLEASURE OR TRAINING, OUR PRODUCTS ARE ADAPTED TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GET OR STAY IN SHAPE, PROGRESSIVELY OR INTENSIVELY.
