What is Club Tread?
Club Tread is your new favorite workout you barely notice you're doing.
Simply tread water in the deep end while catching up with friends—old, new, even family. It’s calorie-burning, body-toning, and totally low-impact. It’s the workout that feels like a hangout, and will have you coming back for more.
About Us
Hi! We’re Kate and Betsy—longtime friends and huge fans of treading water for exercise. We love it so much, we created our own custom wearable weight (more on that soon!).
When we’re not treading, you’ll find us cooking, camping, sending Marco Polos, solving NYT puzzles, listening to Armchair Expert, and raising tiny humans. Over the past few years, we’ve been spreading the tread in our community—and people are loving it. They keep coming back, and the crew keeps growing.
Why? We think it’s the magic combo of a great workout and real connection. Face-to-face real conversations, good vibes, and something everyone of all fitness levels can do.

FAQ

No. Treading is suitable for people of all fitness backgrounds and levels, so long as you are comfortable in the water. A lot of people seem to think they couldn’t tread water for more than a few minutes, let alone tread while wearing extra weight. We think you will surprise yourself. If you’re just getting started, stay close to the pool's edge, and ease yourself into it. Your legs and arms will naturally find a rhythm. Take breaks, and add time slowly over multiple sessions. You can keep a noodle or kickboard at hand. As you gain confidence, you can gradually increase the duration and intensity of your tread-sesh.
We think that you will find this type of cardio a lot more accessible and enjoyable than jogging, especially if you have company in the pool with you.
-
Not a lot. Your swimsuit, towel and a pool (or lake, or any safe body of water) that is ideally about a foot deeper than you are tall. It is advisable to check the pool schedule to make sure there will be space available in the deep end. If you are lucky enough to be treading outside, we recommend adding a wide brim visor and sunscreen to your bag. When you are ready to up level your tread, you want to feel more of a burn, we suggest purchasing a Club Tread weight vest.
-
Not completely. Your head will be up and out of the water while treading. If you have long hair, we recommend clipping it up high on your head. Realistically, you should expect that the lower backside of your hair will get splashed. If you are treading near lap swimmers, or kids playing, you should expect a bit more splashing around your head and hair.
-
Yes! We think together is better, because it passes the time and fills up your social cup, however it can be perfectly great to tread alone. Whatever gets you out there. If you’re headed to the pool on your own, check out our How to Enjoy Your Solo Tread blog post for a few tips.
