WaterOn Aquatic Fitness offers supportive, encouraging aqua fitness classes in London, Ontario that are — yes — genuinely fun. These are classes where you’re known by name, where your comfort matters, and where laughter is just as welcome as hard work.

Jill created WaterOn for people who want to stay strong, mobile, and confident as the years go by, without the pressure or intensity of a typical gym environment.

This Isn’t a “Jump In and Keep Up” Kind of Class

One of the first things people notice about WaterOn is how personal it feels.

Classes are intentionally small — usually no more than nine people — so Jill can be right there with you in the water, watching your movements, offering gentle corrections, and making sure everything feels safe and good in your body.

This isn’t about pushing through pain or proving anything.
It’s about moving well, feeling better, and enjoying yourself along the way.

“Jill offers an energetic variety of water exercises. She instructs with passion, education, and humour while moving right alongside us in the water. I can feel my body getting stronger and my endurance improving.”

Jayne Dill

Why Aqua Fitness in London Ontario Works So Well

There’s something special about working out in the water.

The water supports your body, reduces stress on your joints, and allows you to move more freely than you often can on land. At the same time, it provides natural resistance, helping you build strength, balance, and endurance in a way that feels surprisingly good.

Aqua fitness is ideal if you want to:

  • Improve strength without straining your joints
  • Increase balance and stability
  • Boost cardiovascular endurance
  • Move more confidently in your body
  • Stay active in a way that feels sustainable

Many participants tell Jill they leave class feeling energized — not exhausted.

“I had my very first aquatic class with Jill this morning and it was wonderful. Although it is a workout, it doesn’t feel like a workout because it is easy on my joints, and it is fun. Jill explains the moves, and we follow along. After the class is over, I feel energized and not exhausted. Again, it is fun with no pressure. I have already committed to going a couple of times a week.”

Lantoinette C., Texas

“I experienced daily 10 out of 10 workouts with Jill in the Florida Keys. If you want help losing weight, burning calories and strengthening your muscles and have fun at the same time, Jill is the perfect aqua aerobics instructor. She puts together a well-structured class for all age groups, recognizing each person’s intensity level. Jill also makes sure you do proper warm-up and cool-down stretching to prevent injuries. Jill will make sure you have fun while getting a balanced aqua workout.”

Joan W., Ontario

“Jill has so much enthusiasm, energy, a caring demeanor, and I must mention her great music. She is a true fitness professional with a high level of skill in teaching aquafit. I love her class and look forward to getting back into it next summer when my pool opens. She is gifted!”

Jackie G., Ontario

“This was my first water aerobics class with Jill, and I enjoyed it very much. It wasn’t stressful for my joints, and it was fun. Jill takes her time to demonstrate each step with the group. Her prices are super reasonable, and I will continue to take the classes. I wasn’t exhausted when the class was over, and I felt great!”

Sheila G., Texas

“Jill’s water fitness classes are fun and full of a variety of exercises. She provides clear instructions and ensures we are using proper form. Jill gives exercises to target specific areas of our body and demonstrates those for us to practice both in the class and afterwards.”

Lynne G., Ontario

“I’d never taken an aquatic fitness class, and when Jill started offering classes I immediately signed up. This was so much fun! We were all learning and laughing the whole time. Jill’s class was very informative on what we were working on and teaching new ways of working out certain muscles. I’ve been looking for ways to meet new people and focus on my health. This was such a fun way to do both.”

Nicole H., Texas

“I wasn’t sure what to expect from Jill’s water-walking class, but I certainly wasn’t thinking that I would get such an amazing workout! She works on every major muscle group, plus being in the water made it challenging without seeming like it was. Toward the end of class, we got to do some interval running, something I can’t even conceive of doing on dry land given the state of my knees and lower back. I felt 18 again! The ladies present loved it… and guys… if you’re a wimp, don’t come to this class.”

Fred L., Ontario

Why Jill Teaches Aqua Fitness the Way She Does

Jill didn’t create WaterOn Aquatic Fitness just because she loves teaching — she created it because she understands how important it is to move in ways that feel safe, supported, and confidence-building.

After having both hips replaced, Jill experienced firsthand how challenging it can be to return to movement and trust your body again. That personal experience deeply influences how she teaches today.

She’s in the water with you — paying attention, offering thoughtful modifications, and making sure you feel comfortable. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.

While classes are energetic and often full of laughter, safety and comfort always come first.

For Jill, aqua fitness isn’t about “no pain, no gain.” It’s about feeling good while you move — and leaving class glad you came.

“The community that has formed among class participants is so helpful and supportive thanks to Jill’s leadership.”

For many, this becomes more than just exercise — it becomes their favourite hour of the week.
