Fitness Class Wallchart and Grading System

Our new fitness wallchart is available at all of the councils recreation sites. We run a comprehensive range of fitness classes for all abilities - so come along and give one a go!

We have simplified our class grading system:

• The number (ranging from 1-3) focuses on the intensity of the class. However, multi-level teaching is applied to all classes which enables all participants to work at their own level.
• The letter (ranging from A-C) focuses on the complexity of the class. It describes how complicated the class is in relation to the choreography and level of co-ordination required. All instructors will offer alternatives and multi-level teaching techniques enabling participants to work at their own level.
• The level of intensity is detailed prior to the description for the class(es), whilst the level of complexity appears to the right of the class.
