East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure is launching FloatFit HIIT, a fun, high intensity workout on water using floating exercise mats.

The energetic 30-minute classes launch at Eastwood Park Leisure and Neilston Leisure Centre this month, offering a full body workout, incorporating strength, endurance and balance.

Sylvia Campbell, who has been a fitness instructor for over 20 years, will be leading classes. She said: "I'm so excited about launching this new fitness class. Not only is this a fantastic core workout, it's also great fun.

"The classes offer a range of benefits for participants, from increasing muscular strength and building aerobic fitness to balance, boosting metabolism and burning calories.

"The workout incorporates squats, mountain climbers and lunges and will be a fantastic addition to your fitness routine. You can't help but smile while you're taking part and we will support and guide you throughout your workout on the water."

Anthony McReavy from East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure said: "We look forward to bringing FloatFit HIIT to the local area. Our existing fitness members can participate as part of their membership and it is also available to non-members on a pay-as-you-go basis. This dynamic new class is a welcome addition to our extensive fitness timetable that runs across East Renfrewshire."

FloatFit HIIT classes will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Eastwood Park Leisure from Tuesday 16 November and Mondays and Thursdays at Neilston Leisure Centre, starting 22 November.

There is limited availability for each session, which should be booked in advance via ER Leisure app. Find out more here.

FloatFit HIIT is included in membership for East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure fitness members and £6/£4.20 concession on a PAYG basis.
