it was wonderful as the instuctor was right there to guide you thru everything and as my ability grew, we worked upwards. I've tried a few studios here and haven't found the right mix. The classes are too large and don't feel like I'm being pushed enough.

My gym offers Pilates floor so I think I might try that again and look into Piloxing.
