Outside Magazine, June 2007 - Summer Fitness Special: Power - Hydro Power. Explosiveness is key to every sport. Tap your inner dynamite with this revolutionary water workout, by Roy M. Wallack
Starnewsonline.com - Wihmington Magazine - Water World Article - March 19 2007
The temperature, buoyancy and resistance of water allows aqua fitness, in all of its variations (water aerobics, AquaLogix, Aquatic Boot Camp Fitness, Rusty Joints) to be an incredibly efficient way to work out. “You use all of your major muscle groups,” says Kathy Yakimovich, an aqua fitness instructor at the Wilmington Family YMCA.
Los Angeles Times Aquatic Review
GEAR, Los Angeles Times article, July 31, 2006, by Roy M. Wallack
Resistance? Futile? Not in the water
No one wants to exercise when it hits 100 degrees. But a refreshing way to beat the summertime heat — and get a superb upper-body workout — is aquatic resistance. Pushing and pulling a plastic or foam dumbbell through the pool water, alone or in conjunction with a flotation belt and leg resistance devices, offers smooth, joint-safe strength, toning and balance benefits. Once the province of certain athletes, injury rehab patients and older exercisers, water workouts can now work for everyone. No matter what regimen you prefer — boxing punches, tai chi, shallow-end water running, gym-style weight exercises such as curls and flies — the water density makes the movements harder as you go faster. If you give the workout your all, the results extend far beyond strengthened arms and shoulders — creating a real aerobic effect, some leg muscle toning and a pronounced blast to the midsection, which is always working to maintain balance in the unstable water.
 An aquatic trendsetter
Hydro-Tone Hydro-Bells: The original drag-resistance aquatic dumbbell, this plastic rectangle uses baffles and fins to increase water friction.
Likes: The large size — a foot tall — contributes to the intensity of the workout. The Hydro-Bell System 1 ($69.95) includes a VHS workout tape and several well-done line-drawing exercise charts, conveniently inserted in seep-through waterproof sheet protectors for poolside use.
Dislikes: The large dimensions are a bit cumbersome for some movements and do not travel well.
Price: $59.95. (800) 622-8663
 Handy equipment
AquaLogix Bells: A drag-resistance device that encloses your hand in a perforated and finned cage, providing tough resistance through all angles of motion.
Likes: Compact and highly effective, it has the most natural feel of the models reviewed. The rounded shape, inspired by a whiffle ball, provides a unique "omni-directional drag resistance" — even resistance in every direction, says inventor and personal trainer Tad Stout. Small, travel-friendly size makes it a great workout tool at home and on the road. Available in three resistance levels. A training DVD ($19.95) can be purchased separately.
Dislikes: None.
Price: $59. (866) 603-1156
 Paddle and tone
Zura Sports Aquatic Fitness Dumbbells: Paddle-like molded foam "weights" that pit the user against buoyancy, rather than drag resistance.
Likes: Compact and simple to use. To change resistance, turn the dumbbells 90 degrees.
Dislikes: A good workout, but not nearly as tough, functional or natural as the other drag-resistance devices. You expend as much effort keeping the dumbbells down as you do moving them in the desired direction of the exercises.
Price: $23.95. (800) 890-3009
 Flotation device
AquaJogger DeltaBells Pro: Foam triangles with soft padded grip.
Likes: Triangular design offers adjustable resistance: Turn it toward the flat end for hard resistance, and toward the pointed end for less. Very comfortable padded grip. Includes workout guide. Weaker exercisers can try the smaller-sized, less-resistant ActiveBells ($23.95) and DeltaBells ($27.95).
Dislikes: Same knock as Zura: Good workout, but the effort to control the flotation conflicts with the exercise motion itself.
Price: $34.95. (800) 922-9545

TESTMONIALS
I have to say that I have been teaching aqua fitness since college (+-20 years) and I have never found equipment as good as AguaLogix. It is easy to carry and store, it goes easily on your body and doesn't hurt your wrists or ankles, and it's just amazing! Thank you for thinking of us always and making us better instructors. - Mary Jo Leste, Moorpark, CA
It was quite an honor getting to meet you all today; we appreciated the absolutely enthusiastic hands-on demonstration of your AquaLogix gear. That is really all it took on your part: personalized interaction and genuine enthusiasm for and faith in what you are selling. I am also happy to see you bringing your business to the military, certainly you noticed at our gyms that the Department of Defense spends quality funds on fitness, and I believe what you offer is a worthy investment - Adam, Staff Sergeant, United States Marine Corps, Marine Combat Instructor of Water Survival

As we all know - Aquatic Exercise has many advantages. Buoyancy takes the stress off joints, providing a safer medium for rehab and exercise.
There is a wide assortment of aquatic equipment out on the market. One of my favorites is Aqualogix. Aqualogix Resistance Handbells are designed to strengthen muscles, improve muscle tone and enhance muscular coordination. Bells can also be used to build aerobic endurance.
I have been using them with my private fitness clients (men, women and children). You can succsessfully determine the level of water resistance desired, tailoring each exercise to individual needs, because Aqualogix bells are coming in 3 different sizes. Aqualogix Fins can be worn comfortably on the ankles for lower body conditioninig and aerobic work. My individual experience is very positive as well with my private clients.
I also introduced Aqualogix to a group of aquatic fitness instructors during Angela Davies's presentation at Evolution Fitness Conference in Irvine 2005. There were a great interest about those products and participants enjoyed the challenging workout with Aqualogix. On a personal note, I think Aqualogix have a great applications for both - the personal training and group fitness markets.
