Strength training or Circuit training how to log it?

Quick question for logging my boot camp class. I have been putting it as strength training, but should I put it as circuit? I don't have a HRM....yet :). So I'm looking to be as accurate as possible. My class consists of warm up for 5 minutes, three weight type exercises for 3 sets of 15. Then more cardio for 5 or 10 minutes followed by another different set of three weight exercises for 3 sets of 15.

Welcome!

    I have the same kind of workout given to me by my trainer. I do three sets of weights with a hard cardio blast between/ repeat three times/ with more hard cardio at the end. My trainer figured the calories independantly and then in the circuit training and came up with about the same amount of calories. So I just put my time as circuit training.
