What is AQUALATES®
 AQUALATES is a challenging yet highly modifiable aquatic workout based upon Pilates exercises from the mat, reformer, cadillac, chair and barrel repertoires.
Created by Tori Brown and Chimêne
Montivero-Cole, MSPT, AQUALATES is
a standalone system of
exercise based upon the same
modern principles and anatomical guidelines of Pilates.
Though many of the exercises are similar
to those practiced in a Pilates training
venue, much of the AQUALATES repertoire
has been developed specifically for the aquatic
environment. In addition to an emphasis on
shoulder girdle stabilization and activation
of the core musculature to support a neutral
spine, this 3-D workout challenges balance,
coordination and peripheral strength in all
planes of motion.
Anatomical Function
• Mobility
• Stability
• Endurance
• Coordination
• Balance |
The difference between AQUALATES and
other aquatic fitness classes is the instructor
knowledge, client education and in the presentation
of each exercise. All AQUALATES exercises
are presented and cued in terms of anatomical
function. In this way, we educate participants
to move more efficiently. When we
speak of the “mind/body
connection”, we are speaking muscular awareness
and control.
