Wexer and Hydrohex have partnered to help operators unlock the full potential of their aquatic facilities through aquatic digital fitness experiences that extend beyond the gym floor and into the pool.

As operators continue to expand their wellness offerings and look for new ways to engage members, aquatic fitness represents a significant opportunity. Through this partnership, Wexer and Hydrohex are combining their expertise to create more engaging, measurable, and accessible exercise experiences across both land and water-based environments.

Hydrohex’s interactive underwater training technology complements Wexer’s digital fitness ecosystem, enabling operators to offer members guided aquatic workouts that are immersive, motivating, and easy to follow.

Expanding Aquatic Digital Fitness Beyond Traditional Spaces

For years, digital fitness has helped operators extend the reach of their fitness offering beyond scheduled group exercise classes and traditional gym spaces. This partnership takes that vision one step further by bringing connected fitness experiences into the pool.

Hydrohex transforms aquatic spaces through its innovative underwater display system, providing members with visual workout guidance, structured training sessions, and performance-focused programming directly within the swimming environment.

This approach aligns closely with Wexer’s mission of making high-quality fitness experiences accessible wherever people choose to move.

“At Wexer, we’re always looking for new ways to help operators maximize the value of every square meter of their facilities while creating more engaging experiences for members. Hydrohex brings a fresh and innovative approach to aquatic fitness, transforming pools into active, connected training environments. Together, we’re helping operators unlock new opportunities for engagement, accessibility, and participation across their entire wellness offering.” ~ Robert Louw, COO of Wexer ~

The partnership is already delivering results, with YMCA Victoria set to become one of the first operators to launch the combined Hydrohex and Wexer solution in Australia.

“Partnering with YMCA Victoria to launch this new model of virtual and hybrid aquatic fitness is a great example of how technology can make fitness more accessible and inclusive. By removing constraints around instructor availability and class schedules, YMCA Victoria can offer high-quality aquatic programming throughout the day, reaching more members and supporting its mission to improve community wellbeing. This partnership demonstrates how operators can unlock greater value from their aquatic facilities while creating new opportunities for engagement.” ~ Owen Bowling, Head of APAC with Wexer ~

Unlocking The Value Of Pool-Based Training

Aquatic exercise offers unique benefits, from low-impact training and rehabilitation support to cardiovascular conditioning and functional fitness. Yet many facilities struggle to maximize engagement within their pool spaces.

Hydrohex addresses this challenge by turning pools into interactive training environments that guide, motivate, and support users throughout their workouts.

Rather than relying solely on traditional lap swimming or instructor-led sessions, members can access structured workouts that are easy to follow and designed to encourage consistent participation.

The result is an aquatic digital fitness experience that feels modern, engaging, and accessible for a broad range of users and fitness levels.

Technology Designed To Improve Participation

As member expectations continue to evolve, operators are increasingly looking for technology that enhances experiences without adding operational complexity.

Hydrohex’s platform is designed with simplicity in mind, enabling facilities to activate engaging aquatic programming while maintaining a seamless user experience.

By combining Hydrohex’s aquatic expertise with Wexer’s extensive experience in digital fitness delivery, the partnership creates new opportunities for facilities to increase utilization of pool spaces and broaden their wellness offering.

“Aquatic fitness has enormous potential to engage people of all ages and abilities, but many facilities are still limited by traditional delivery models. By partnering with Wexer, we’re helping operators bring more flexibility, accessibility, and engagement to their aquatic offerings. Together, we’re making it easier for facilities to deliver high-quality fitness experiences both in and around the pool.” ~ Tommi Wallenius, CEO of Hydrohex ~

What Aquatic Digital Fitness Means For Operators

For operators, the partnership offers a powerful way to differentiate their facilities and unlock greater value from existing aquatic infrastructure.

By integrating innovative aquatic experiences alongside digital fitness, virtual classes, and on-demand workouts, facilities can deliver a more complete wellness ecosystem that appeals to a wider range of members.

The partnership also supports key industry priorities including member engagement, accessibility, active aging, rehabilitation, and holistic wellness programming.

Most importantly, it helps operators create experiences that encourage people to move more often, in more places, and in ways that suit their individual needs and preferences.

A Shared Vision For The Future Of Fitness

The partnership between Wexer and Hydrohex reflects a shared commitment to innovation, accessibility, and creating meaningful fitness experiences.

Together, the two companies are helping operators reimagine what connected fitness can look like by combining digital expertise, immersive technology, and engaging programming to support healthier, more active communities.

As the fitness industry continues to evolve, Wexer remains focused on partnering with forward-thinking innovators that help operators deliver exceptional member experiences across every touchpoint of the fitness journey.

With Hydrohex joining the Wexer ecosystem, that journey now extends seamlessly from the gym floor to the pool.
