History
Hydropower Water Workouts was founded in 1994. When Hydropower first began, its sole purpose was to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a healthier, more active, more enjoyable lifestyle through the comfort and safety of aquatic fitness.

Since that time, Hydropower has expanded to include facility management and programming. Hydropower is also involved in consulting with facilities, fitness professionals and fitness enthusiast. In 1996, Hydropower relocated from College Station, TX to Phoenix, Arizona. After relocating to The Valley of the Sun, Hydropower expanded once again. Hydropower now dedicates a large portion of it's resources to continuing education classes for fitness professionals and the development of a stronger, more credible aquatic fitness industry through education and networking. In 2005, Hydropower relocated once again to the Vail Valley in Colorado . We have continued our quest to improve the quality and credibility of the aquatic industry. We have also moved forward with our goal of making quality training products available to the public.
