What's your preference

Okay, so I'm a group fit instructor and have a general question that I've been wondering. I teach bodystep (step class self explanatory) and bodypump (cardio weight lifting, or body sculpting). Over the past 4 years I've been all sorts of shapes and sizes from 50 pounds over weight, to 9 months of pregnancy (I taught step up until 3 weeks before my son was born at full term), to cut with a 6 pack. So my question is, what would you prefer to see as a participant walking into a group fit class for the first time? Does the mod of the class matter? step versus pump versus a zumba or yoga or Pilates?

I just started going to group classes, and I hate that the instructor never tells us what to get at the beginning of the class (weights, yoga mats, steps, etc.). I always have to approach a random class participant and ask what I need to get/do before the class starts.

Hope this helps!

I don't ever assume that just because I am not familiar with a person that they don't know what's up, there are a lot of classes in a week and you never know if you have a mid day person in your evening class. Now, when I see someone asking questions I go and make sure that they're okay, but other wise I trust them to approach me with questions. I do give basic weight targets between tracks and positioning cues during tracks. Hope that helps!
