Do I have to be in shape to attend group fitness?

We offer classes for everyone, and that includes every fitness level, body shape, and size. Some of our classes are geared toward more advanced levels, while others more specifically target beginners. If you're unsure about whether a class is right for you, ask a group fitness instructor or speak with Member Services.

How can I find a class that best fits my needs?

The best way to find a class that works for you is to ask questions. Tell your instructor about your goals and needs. From there, we'll work to establish a plan of action to achieve the best results possible.

Is a group fitness class as effective as working out on the fitness floor?

It depends. Some people prefer group fitness classes because of the group atmosphere and motivating instructor. But mainly, it depends on you. Overall, group fitness is a great addition to a regular strength and cardio program that would take place out on the fitness floor.

Full of Life is an advanced level of PACE and includes a structured fitness program for seniors, but also is great for those with special needs.

What are some general rules of etiquette for group fitness classes?

For your own safety, we do not allow cell phone usage in the studio rooms. However, we do recognize those rare situations when a cell phone is necessary. Should this be the situation, then please inform the instructor at the beginning of the class. During inclimate weather, a second, clean pair of shoes is required before entering the studios. Please arrive on time for all classes, especially those related to our Mind-Body offerings. Allow ample time for those classes which require setup or gathering of equipment.
