Hi Angie,

Is this your first group class as an instructor?

Hi Angie,

I would do 45 minutes of the two options. You need to allow enough time for an adequate warm up, instruction of the exercises and/or stations, actual time for the exercises, and cool down/stretch after.

You should have modifications ready for each exercise to accommodate all levels from beginner to advanced.

Hope this helps.

What is your target market?

A half-hour is really short, unless you’re doing a super-high-HIIT workout and your attendees are working at that potential. It’s not a comfortable level to work at, nor is it recommended for beginners.

45 minutes is good.

I train at home doing Bootcamp, Cycling, TRX etc. I do 45 min classes. 5 Min warm up at least…

If I’m doing a 30 min HIIT class, it’s for my advance people. I ask them to come early for a couple running laps and then we get started. No breaks, 30 min.

Hello Angie Lee,
I need an hour to properly warm up, cool down and instruct proper form with regressions/progressions. Maybe you could let the new students know that there will be catch your breath breaks and everyone works at their own level.
Congratulations and enjoy the classes.
Take care,
