A good place to start
Compare a coached circuit with treadmill, cycling or rowing sessions rather than choosing only by the class name.
What to compare
- Session format
- Equipment and pacing options
Start with a taster
Ask for a beginner session and find out what equipment you can borrow. Afterwards, think about the teaching, atmosphere and journey as well as the activity itself. The best routine is one you enjoy returning to.
