In the water, age is just a number. The H2shOβ’ emphasis on "enter-train-ment" eliminates the mental and emotional experience of failing. Play. Join the shO!
Conceptualizing an H2shOβ’οΈ aqua workout to the Hamilton Musical Original Broadway Cast Recording was a process that began in 2018. I was finally able to produce and present this very special workout in three different venues in 2023. Each pool required modifications as you will see.
H2shOβ’οΈ blends the science of aquatic fitness with the creativity of the stage. Learn the fundamentals of vertical water exercise in skillβbuilding classes, then bring them to life in shOβready, musicβpowered sessions. Designed by Erwin R. GonzΓ‘lez for exceptional results and unforgettable energy.
The name H2shOβ’ is a portmanteau of HβO (the chemical formula for water) + Showperson (a skilled and charismatic performer who entertains with flair).
