Each class is listed according to the complexity of choreography and exercise intensity. Each participant is responsible for monitoring his/her own intensity level during class.
Group Exercise Leaders will introduce you to the Rate of Perceived Exertion Scale to monitor exercise intensity during class. This is a subjective method of monitoring intensity and is based on a 0-10 scale. Zero (0) corresponds to the intensity of sleeping. Ten (10) corresponds to the intensity of running as fast as you possibly can.
For more information on fitness guidelines, consult one of our certified Personal Fitness Trainers or Group Exercise Leaders.
