Here’s a great ’wet-gym’ product which makes the most of exercising in the water and is ideal for the home pool market. It’s called a Slimbike and has been designed for regular aqua-biking exercise in pools. It’s the latest in the Archimede range of exercise equipment making the most use of turning a pool into a gym. Using exercise equipment in water means there’s no hard impact on legs and muscles, the benefits of buoyancy in water supports your weight, which in turn reduces the force of stress placed on the joints on land based exercise. The Slimbike offers an adjustable resistance according to the speed you pedal and the stainless steel frame coated with a thermoplastic covering offers protection against corrosion. n Tel: 01444 411411 n

PEDALLING TO FITNESS IN YOUR POOL
New attractive lodges for pools and hot tubs
These attractive, stylish and British made swim lodges and hot tub lodges are new on the market from Santella Leisure Products. The swim lodges, which can house a small to medium sized pool, are a delight to look at, rather than an eyesore. They offer a range of sizes and other options, particularly window styles, single or double glazed, and are available either in the “old colonial style” or in the more modern mono-pitch roof construction. Also from Santella are new hot tub lodges. There are many gazebo/hot tub covers on the market, trying to resolve the customer’s dilemma as to whether the hot tub is to be enclosed or open to the elements. Santella have addressed this by providing a range of hot tub lodges with the option of a completely open roof structure on corner posts. They allow the lodge to be fully open in superb weather or totally closed in and “cosy” when the elements turn. A variety of styles, shapes and sizes and roof options are available.
