Group Fitness Class Design

The following information will give you a description of the most common group fitness formats and the profiles of a beginner, intermediate, or advanced level participant.  Keep in mind that group fitness classes are designed from these fundamental formats with changes in the choreographic elements to individualize each class and its goals (i.e. a Cardio Kickboxing class would be considered an interval-based format).
