The aerobic classes vary in size. Viloria said they can be anywhere from four to 18 or 20 students. The classes at Drake are free, except for the yoga classes. Junge said this is because they had to hire an instructor outside of Drake. A student doesn't have to sign up to be part of the class.
Any student can just show up to try it out.
The students who show up to the aerobics classes vary too. Mathey said the majority of the people who come to her class are women, but that sometimes a few men might show up. Viloria said the reason that aerobic classes are mainly women is because, in general, people may see it as feminist and not their ideal workout. Just like the rest of the program, even the instructors vary in where they were trained or in what they do. Some of the aerobic instructors had previous experience instructing before they started working at the Bell Center.
