    You won't know till you try it. Can you just sign up for one class at a time. I tried the at home Zumba DVDs back in Feb 2012 when I weighed 270 pounds and two days later had horrible knee pain so I haven't tried it since even now after loosing alot of weight. My gym offers it but I am still scared I don't wanna have knee issues again. I know you have to be careful what kinda shoes you wear you don't want any type of shoes that stick to the ground but shoes that kinda slide is what I have heard. I have done the aqua zumba class in my gym pool and loved it but sadly the instructor moved out of state and they haven't replaced her yet.
    Let us know what you decide to do. You can always alter the movements if there a moves you can't do. I did that even with my bad knee and still had a knee blow out after it.
    Good luck!
