    Aqua fit is my staple
    Belly dance my fun
    And Zumba my silly
    Love them all because they keep me supple and moving.

    Women on weights was good to get past my fear of lifting in the gym, and re enforced I only have to lift heavy for me to see results.

    Cheers, h.

    TRX! I'm not quite ready to start lifting. I can see my muscles growing with TRX. I'm viewing it as prep for a lifting program.

    That's funny. I started lifting because TRX seemed too intimidating.

    Dodger, just replied on your other thread about Zumba!
    Didn't see this post first.

    Yes we have guys and they love it.

    We also have guys in the aqua fit, including my fella. He saw how I was benefiting from it, and switched out one of his runs to aqua. It really helps with flexabiliy and balance. It is also low impact so good for those starting out, a little heavier, or have joint and mobility problems.
    That being said, it is a drop- in class, so though there a number of regulars, the size and make-up of the class is always changing. 20- 80 yr olds, both sexes, though mostly women, and the age is 40+ dominant ( though by no means exclusively so)

    Cheers, h.

    There are no guys in my Zumba class. My husband sees me do some of the moves at home from time to time and he's assured me he would never, EVER be in attendance lol. Unless booty shaking is your thing, I'd steer clear.

    Body Pump is a great class for both sexes.

    Pole is my favourite fitness type class, but that's not actually at my gym. Body Pump is my favourite gym class. :)

    All I do is spin and sometimes yoga. I really like spin, it kicks my a** so good.

    I don't take any classes but I love rollerblading. On rainy days I have a traditional step and do the Reebok step from 1992. It's all over for free now but I used to have it on VHS tape. Still my favorite and to me still the best B)
