"What sets this programme apart is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) that guides and enhances people’s aqua workout,” he said.

“It's like having a personal trainer in the water with you, and it really is incredible that we can bring this to the centre.’’

Moreover, these sessions extend beyond individual fitness routines

Through collaborating with NHS practices and support workers, the centres are streamlining the referral process and aim to reduce waiting times for critical services such as physiotherapy.
