One of the most important things to understand in beginning a fitness program is your current state of health. Most ‘fad’ fitness programs are very intense. The marketers of these ‘fad’ workouts put a small disclaimer like these exercises are good for “most” people or “not for everyone”. You would be surprised to know how many people that truthfully includes, like 90% of everyone over 30 years old. I would NEVER recommend anyone that has been injured or is currently having low grade pain take a general class of any sort!
The nature of a class is participation oriented, not analysis/progression oriented.
Most gym goers believe they are beyond a simple beginning class and will avoid a more basic beginner level. What they fail to realize is a true beginner level includes learning how to prevent injury, developing self awareness, promote balance and longevity in your movement, not the classes.
Truth be told, most fitness establishments don't offer such classes. You are best suited to be humble, seek help from a trainer well educated in movement analysis, and start out right.
