Se ogni tentativo di rimetterti in movimento è finito tra dolori, noia o disagio, il problema era dove ti allenavi. Quarantacinque minuti a settimana in acqua, dove il corpo lavora e non presenta il conto il giorno dopo.
The aqua fitness programme at the Lido Azzurro in Varedo is designed to tackle, one by one, the three reasons why you’ve always given up:
All the work takes place in the water, where you weigh 10%. You stand where your feet touch the bottom, and Being able to swim is of no use: If you can get into a bath, you can do aqua aerobics.
Your body works underwater. No mirrors, no onlookers: if you’re going at half-speed, nobody will notice, and everyone adjusts the intensity to suit their own day, all within the same class. It’s the only workout where the shame stays in the changing rooms.
An activity of your choice, a fixed time, an instructor, a group. On Tuesdays (or whichever day you choose), it stops being just a good intention and becomes a regular fixture: When you jump, someone notices. It may seem like a minor detail, but it’s the reason why you’ll still be there in March.
Let’s be completely honest about one thing: We don’t promise you’ll lose kilos or centimetres. Chi te li promette dopo quarantacinque minuti in acqua a settimana ti sta raccontando una storia. Ti promettiamo l'unica cosa da cui tutto il resto dipende: un allenamento che finalmente reggi, settimana dopo settimana.
The season runs from 14 September 2026 to 4 June 2027, and The price of the trial session is the same whichever activity you choose. Quale sia, lo decidi con la segreteria quando sarai ricontattata: te la consiglia in base a come stai e a cosa cerchi. La prova serve anche a questo.
Stated here, before the form, because that is how we would like to be treated too: Find out the price, have a go at a proper lesson with the real group, and only then make your decision.
Un minuto: nome, telefono ed email.
Sarai ricontattata, di norma via email, per fissare la prova. La confermi col pagamento: in cassa, link online o bonifico, come preferisci. Payment is due at the time of booking, so the spot in the pool is yours.
No persistent phone calls: se non fa per te, ti sei fatta quarantacinque minuti in acqua a prezzo di una pizza.
"The staff at the swimming pool are very friendly and helpful. [...] There are plenty of courses on offer."
"A lively place with plenty to do. The staff are always on hand at reception and throughout the premises. It’s a very spacious and clean swimming pool!"
Le classi ricominciano da capo ogni settembre: chi entra adesso trova un gruppo alle prime lezioni, non una coreografia che le altre sanno a memoria. A novembre, quelle stesse classi saranno "il gruppo del martedì", con i suoi saluti, le sue battute e i suoi posti in vasca. La differenza tra esserci dentro ed esserci fuori si decide in queste settimane.
La prova si prenota finché nel gruppo c'è posto, costa 15,90 euro e it doesn’t commit you to anything. You’re already familiar with the "try, give up, feel guilty" pattern: this is your chance to find out how the other one ends.
