If you’re looking for fitness classes, perhaps in conjunction with going to the gym, or instead of a weight programme, then you might know what you want and why. Alternatively, you might not know what you need or what to look for.

Here’s what you need to consider if you’re looking for fitness classes.

1. You’ll need to decide why you want to join a fitness class. Perhaps it’s because you want to lose weight, or you want to meet new friends, or gain new skills or additional strength, fitness or flexibility.

2. It’s important that you decide when you’ll be able to go. If your only free time is in the morning before going to work then you’re much less likely to go, than if you could go any evening.

3. You might find that venues close to you offer fitness classes, or your gym might offer just what you need. Depending on your gym, your fitness class might be included as part of your membership.

4. You’ll need to know what time your classes start and end, and how long they will be in case you need to arrange childcare, or finish work early. If it’s a hassle to get to your classes, you’re much less likely to stay motivated and keep going.

5. Depending on how many times a week you can go to your class, you might find that you start to see the benefits and improve quickly. If can’t go as often as you’d like then it might take longer for you to feel better or lose weight.

6. What is provided by your fitness class? Are they using gym equipment that’s in good condition, or does it look like it has seen better days, and not up to the job? You’ll need to find out if you need to bring anything, or are expected to buy anything for your class.

7. Why not see if there are any classes that your children can take too? There might be special kid’s fitness programmes that would be suitable for your children.

8. The class you choose should be popular enough to show that it’s worthwhile doing, but not too busy so that you don’t get the help and attention you need from the instructor.

9. You’ll want to make sure that the staff are approachable and fully qualified and experienced in the class that they are teaching.

10. The cost of your fitness classes might be important to you. Perhaps you’re willing to sacrifice some things in order to keep the cost down. Alternatively, you might want to spend more, knowing that you’ll get excellent tuition and facilities, be more likely to go, and are more likely to get the results you want.
