To help you choose the best drag resistance equipment or bundle to suit your needs, have a look at the options below. Many customers enjoy the ability to switch between resistance levels either on different training days or even between different exercises/sets. Given the same amount of input or intensity from the user, the lower the resistance the bell or fin, the faster they will move through the water compared to the higher resistance pieces. If you are used to lighter weights and higher reps the Medium Resistance is likely a great versatile option. Otherwise, if you prefer more resistance at any given tempo or heavier lower reps, then the maximum resistance equipment is a good choice.
We have a range of different equipment and training bundles, including specialty program and equipment bundles available. You can find our basic training programming and demo videos for free on our Free Programs Page.
Upper Body Bells
You can choose between 5 different Upper Body Bells. Depending on your fitness goals and workout style, you may wish to choose a couple of levels of options to vary the levels of intensity throughout your training. The low and medium resistance are great for functional movements or higher speed HIIT style training. The higher resistance bells can work for those moving at slower paces, focusing on core muscle groups or wanting “heavy” resistance when their input intensity is increased.
Aqualogix Low Resistance “High Speed” Bells: Ideal for those focused on rehab, recovery or speed work
The Aqualogix Low Resistance “High Speed” Bells are perfect for those just starting out on their fitness journey, or for those looking to do a lot of recovery or high-speed work. They provide the least amount of resistance allowing the user to do fast upper body movements, igniting the small fast twitch muscles for explosive power and speed.
Aqualogix Medium Resistance “All Purpose” Bells: Ideal for those focused on general fitness
The Aqualogix Medium Resistance “All Purpose” Bells are a popular option for those focusing on general fitness. They provide slightly more resistance than the Low Resistance “High Speed” Bells and a good for those wanting more of an emphasis on cardio and core strength, however, are also good for fast tempo sets and HIIT style training.
Aquastrength Upper Body Bells: Ideal for those focused on strength and core training
The Aquastrength Upper Body Bells (both blue and pink options are the same resistance) are considered All-Purpose Resistance similar to the Aqualogix Medium Resistance Bell. The Aquastrength Bells provide a bit more resistance than the Aqualogix All Purpose Bells in linear movements (like push/pull). Their unique open handle design makes them ideal for hand over hand and core focused movements. Some also like the larger diameter smooth grip of the Aquastrength Bells.
Aqualogix High Resistance Bells: Ideal for those focused on strength and power training
The Aqualogix High Resistance Bells are typically used to develop power and strength. They are often the choice amongst more experienced users who are primarily focused on strength and endurance. Also popular with users that only move at slow tempos.
Hydro-Tone Hydro-Bells: The Original Relaunched
Hydro-Bells are a yellow hydrodynamic bell with three-dimensional configurations designed to enhance and take advantage of the total resistance field of water. Bells can be rotated 90 degrees to change the resistance from medium to maximum by changing the drag surface area. While they maybe not as maneuverable as some of our more compact bells, these sure do pack a punch for linear movements, strength training and muscle toning/development.
Lower Body Fins
You can choose between 4 different Fin Options. Depending on your fitness goals you may wish to choose a couple of levels of resistance to vary the intensity of your training. The low and medium resistance are great for functional movements or higher speed HIIT style training. The higher resistance bells can work for those moving at slower paces, focusing on core muscle groups or wanting “heavy” resistance when their input intensity is increased. These fins can also be worn on your wrist or forearm with or without the bells for (hands-fee) resistance training. An example of wearing the medium resistance fins on your wrist while holding a medium bell, would provide similar resistance to a maximum resistance bell by itself.
Aqualogix Low Resistance “High-Speed” Fins: Ideal for those focused on rehab, recovery or speed work
The Aqualogix Low Resistance “High-Speed” Fins provide the least resistance of all fins, making them a great option for those focusing on recovery or speed work. They are also a great “warm up” option. While designed to provide resistance in all directions, they can be rotated to provide focused/maximum resistance in any desired direction. These are very popular to add resistance and drag for swimmers developing kick power and speed. Each strap has (4) 4″ fins.
Aqualogix Medium Resistance “All-Purpose” Fins: Ideal for those focused on combining strength training and high-speed cardio/HIIT
The Medium Resistance “All Purpose” Hybrid Fin is the newest addition to our line of functional aquatic resistance equipment. The All Purpose Fins provide a great balance of good resistance for knee hinge movements and also long lever hip articulation. You achieve results with high speed water exercises, dynamic neuro-muscular training, athletic performance training, rehabilitation and injury recovery pool training.
Each strap has (4) 5″ fins.
*This size is currently available in both Smoke and Pink.
Aquastrength Lower Body Fins: Ideal for those focused on strength and power training, with an emphasis on explosive or jumping movements.
The Aquastrength Lower Body Fins (blue, pink and yellow options are the same resistance) provide a similar level of resistance to the Aqualogix High Resistance Fins. Their unique four blade design provides resistance in all directions whilst the V taper design makes them a very comfortable and secure fit option for longer workouts, especially those involving explosive, jumping movement.
Aqualogix High Resistance Fins: Ideal for those focused on strength training
The Aqualogix High Resistance Fins provide a high level of resistance making them great for those focused on strength, power and endurance. Designed to provide resistance in all directions, they can be rotated to provide more focused resistance in any desired direction. Each strap has (4) 6″ fins.
Barbells & Dumbbells
Aquastrength Barbell: Ideal for upper body, core strength and endurance
The Aquastrength Barbell (available in pink and blue) has one Aquastrength Bell attached at each end to provide multi-directional resistance in the water. It allows the user to perform a multitude of exercises that focus on dynamic flexibility, upper body, core strength, coordination, balance, rotary stability, power, agility and endurance. The barbell is only available in one level of resistance, but the user can simply adjust their grip to progress / regress exercise variations. A longer 4′ bar (3′ standard) is available, but generally only desired for taller individuals (over 6′) that prefer a wider grip.
Hydro Tone Barbell: Maximum Resistance with Detachable Bells
The Hydro Tone Barbell provides roughly twice the resistance of the Aquastrength Barbell. Making this a serious tool for strength training. It is recommended for stronger individuals or those simply wanting the highest resistance at any tempo.
The Hydro-Bells can be removed via the quick release buttons for individual bell use. This is not a feature found on the Aquastrength Barbell.
Aquastrength Dumbbells: Ideal for upper body & core strength
The Aquastrength Dumbbells (available in pink and blue) have one Aquastrength Bell attached at each end of a 10″ grip to provide multi-directional resistance in the water. They provide multi-directional resistance and when used as a pair provide a more extreme workout! As the Dumbbells are half the size of the Aquastrength Barbell they can also be utilized vertically or horizontally to provide great core strengthening.
If you have been looking for something to take your workout to the next level, and provide even more resistance, the Aquastrength Dumbbells are for you!
