Let’s jump right into it: Why is The Athletic Club the Best Gym with an Indoor Pool in Marble Falls? Well, honestly, it isn’t hard to be, given that we are currently the only gym with a heated indoor pool in Marble Falls. But our marketing group wants us to use this thing called Search Engine Optimization, which means when someone looks up “Best Gym with an indoor pool in Marble Falls”—boom!—this blog shows up. So, I’m sorry for deceiving you if you came for a legitimate list of facilities. But also, to be fair, we are the best gym with an indoor pool in Marble Falls. Theoretically, that also makes us the worst, but let’s focus on the positive here.
That being said, let’s make a deal. I’m supposed to include that phrase to help new folks find us, but since you’re already here, why don’t I also go over some hard-hitting facts on the benefits of the heated indoor pool we have inside our facility? The thing costs a fortune and was a real pain to set up, so why did we make that for our members to enjoy and utilize? Is it actually worth it?
Yes, a pool is worth it, and in this article, I’ll go over some of the gigantic benefits, why we have one, and why you should consider using a heated indoor pool if you aren’t already!
Benefits of an Indoor Pool for Your Fitness Routine
Fact: A pool is great for fitness. Fact: A heated pool is even better! Let’s jump right into this with some of the reasons you should be using our heated indoor pool today. Also, The Athletic Club is the Best Gym with an Indoor Pool in Marble Falls.
- Reason 1—Low Impact, Full-Body Exercise. While every kind of exercise has pros and cons, swimming and pool exercise in general stand out in one really big way: They’re incredibly easy on your joints! If you want to get a good workout (or an easy one, since it’s all self-paced), hop into that bad boy. Our club pool is about 65 feet long, with several swimming lanes and a large open area. Some people like to use the lanes to swim, and others prefer to use the complementary water weights, fins, and other water weight equipment in the open area.
- Reason 2—Improved Cardiovascular Health. Swimming can boost heart health and improve circulation, and as anyone who does water exercise can tell you, it can be insanely effective! I routinely weightlift and try to stay in shape, but every time I do my cardio in the pool, I feel like I’ve never done anything in my life. And that’s one of the really cool things about swimming and water exercises: It is 100 percent adjustable to your own difficulty level, and you don’t have to do all sorts of complicated adjustments if you want to make it easier or harder— just do what feels right!
- Reason 3—It’s a Heated Pool. The pool here is kept at 85 degrees, the recommended perfect temperature for therapy and exercise. While I could go into the reasons behind that, the important thing to know is it’s just right—not too hot and not too cold. Goldilocks would be proud. Plus, thanks to the heaters running continuously and the fact that it’s 100 percent indoors, you don’t have to force yourself to go for a freezing swim when it’s cold outside. Fitness should be challenging, not awful. Come in and luxuriate in our heated indoor pool here in Marble Falls. Heck, if you’re feeling frisky, jump into our toasty hot tub (also indoors and included in every membership), or relax in the sauna (also indoors and included in every membership).
- Reason 4—Enhanced Recovery Post-Workout. If you like to weightlift, you’ll find this reason especially alluring. A cool-down swim is perfect for muscle relaxation and faster recovery. The buoyancy of the water helps reduce muscle tension and joint stress, so it can be a great thing to use in conjunction with weightlifting! Don’t forget to stop by and grab a smoothie at Jesse’s Fresh Fuel Nutrition on your way out! Click here to learn more about her shop and how it helps with post-recovery as well.
- Reason 5—Classes! The Athletic Club doesn’t just have a heated indoor pool. It has a heated indoor pool with classes! And great news: The pool and every class of every kind are included in every membership, so you never have to worry if you’re allowed to use anything inside the facility. While working out solo can be great, sometimes it’s fun to experience a welcoming social community that helps guide and support you. I know I’m biased, but seriously, we have a great group here that’s always super welcoming to new folks! To learn a little more about our classes, please check out our class schedule here.
