Dive Into Fun With Free Aquacise

What’s cooler than a dip in the pool? Breaking a sweat while you float! The City of Temecula is offering free Aquacise classes this summer, and they’re not just for strong swimmers or fitness pros. Everyone ages 14 and up can join for a workout that feels more like a pool party than a boot camp.

Space is limited, so sign up soon to avoid classes filling up!

Hot Tips For Cool Summer Fitness

Worried about the sunshine turning your workout into a sweaty meltdown? Don’t sweat it! Here’s how to keep your summer fitness routine feeling fresh and safe:

• Drink up – Bring a big water bottle and refill often. Hydration is your best friend.

• Dress the part – Choose light, breathable clothes (bonus points for neon colors that reflect the sun).

• Slap on the sunscreen – Show your skin some love.

• Beat the heat clock – Early mornings and late evenings are the best times for outdoor workouts.

• Bring a buddy – Friends make fitness less like work and more like fun.

If you ever feel dizzy, overly tired, or just “off,” it’s time for a break. Your health comes first!

Fresh Air, Fresh Moves

If the gym isn’t your scene, Temecula’s parks and trails are open wide for walkers, joggers, bikers, and anyone looking to get active outdoors. Picture yourself:

• Power-walking the rolling paths of Ronald Reagan Sports Park

• Stretching under the big oak trees at Harveston Community Park

• Biking up and down scenic Margarita Community Park trails

• Shooting hoops on local outdoor courts

Every park welcomes you, and early mornings or secret sunset hours let you catch the best gym — nature, without the crowds.

Let’s Make Fitness the Best Part of Your Summer

This summer, Temecula is your playground. Try a splashy Aquacise class for some poolside laughs and calorie-burning, slip into your favorite sneakers for a stroll in the park, or work up a sweat at one of Temecula’s top gyms with new friends cheering you on.

You don’t have to be ultra-athletic or buy fancy gear. Start with what feels right. Maybe it’s a solo jog at sunrise. Maybe it’s a goofy dance with your kids in the living room. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s floating down to the Margarita pool for your first Aquacise class and high-fiving your neighbor as you power kick in the water.

Summer fitness is about having fun, being flexible, and feeling great in your skin. Bring your energy and curiosity, and Temecula will do the rest.

Sign up, show up, and see what you can do. This is your summer, your city, your move!
