Are You Aqua Viva Fit?

Jump in and let's get moving! I'll help you get stronger & more fit in a safer, lower impact workout environment.

Hi, I'm Justin

Welcome to AquaViva! This is the right place for you if you're looking to improve your physical fitness and protect your joints at the same time. Whether you're recovering from knee surgery or need a safer workout environment that will reduce your risk of injury without sacrificing a good workout, I can help!

I'm Justin Gauthier and I have coached & personal-trained clients for the better part of 15 years. My specialty is water-based exercise and my level of expertise is wide-ranging. I can certainly help you achieve your fitness goals if you're ready!

It's in my bones...from a very early age, I developed a passion for fitness and exercise science. My parents often remind me about my early obsession with learning and drawing anatomical structures - from muscles to bones and heart to lungs. 

In 2009, I obtained my bachelor of science, Honours in Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa and the rest is a culmination of many years of experience helping others along their health & fitness journeys!

My next project (and I'm very excited to launch it soon) is my 8-week program, KneeFlex 8 specifically designed for post-knee-replacement recovery & re-conditioning. You can find out more here!

My Story

A photo of Justin, the founder of AquaViva Aqua Fitness.
Man doing aqua fitness. Camera angle underwater shot.

Fitness is in my blood. As early as I can remember, I was fascinated with the human body and exercise. Working out has been part of my routine since high school.

I realized that exercise science was my professional path and after high school, I enrolled at the School of Human Kinetics, University of Ottawa. In 2009, I obtained my bachelor of Science, Honours in Human Kinetics (the study of human movement).

My work in the field is wide-ranging. I've taught countless water-based exercise classes, from low-impact aquafit to aqua therapy programs in a therapeutic setting and one-on-one personal training.

It's my passion to teach, motivate, and get my clients results. I know how physical limitations often get in the way of our fitness goals. I understand the delicate and precious nature of bones and joints as we age. Injury and physical de-conditioning become top of mind as we age but with my program in the water, you can avoid this dilemma altogether!

I will teach you how to work out in the water so that you can achieve your fitness goals and keep your joints happy! No more compromises, no more tradeoffs!
