Group classes in Szeged: which one is for you?
Eleven class types in three groups: strength, cardio and recovery. What each one builds, how hard it is, and whether you can walk in as a beginner.
We run eleven class types, and most people stop in front of the timetable with the same question: which one should I start with? This article exists so you do not have to guess. For each class you will find what it builds, how fast-paced it is, and whether you can join as a beginner.
One thing up front: every one of the eleven has beginners in it. The instructor can offer an easier version of any exercise, and nobody looks at you strangely if you sit out a set.
Quick overview

If you want to get stronger
TRX, suspension straps and your own body weight. Intensity is set by the angle you lean at, so the same exercise can be gentle or brutal. Easy on the joints, and it works the deep muscles that hold your posture. If you only try one class first, this is a good one.
Body Toning, full-body class with a focus on the abdomen, thighs, glutes and arms. Everyone works at their own pace.
Booty class, glutes, thighs and core, from dynamic squats and lunges to slow, controlled Pilates-inspired movement. Balance and body awareness improve along the way.
Get Fit, circuit training, station by station. TRX, bodyweight and weights alternate, each station a different muscle group. No two sessions are the same.
If you are after cardio
Spinning, interval-based indoor cycling to music, where the track dictates the changes. High calorie burn in a short time, and easy on the joints, which is why it works for people who find running too much.
Boxing, punching and defensive technique, ring movement. People who arrive tense usually leave with a clearer head. Nobody is made to fight anyone.
FitFight, movements from Thai boxing, kickboxing, karate and jiu-jitsu, choreographed to music. No aerobics elements, purely martial arts movement.
FitDance, dance-based cardio. There is no choreography to memorise; what matters is the movement and the coordination. If you have always thought you cannot dance, this is the class where it does not matter.
If posture and recovery are the goal
Pilates, controlled, precise movement. Not momentum but focus. It strengthens the deep muscles and the stabilisers around the spine, and it helps a lot with back pain.
Yoga, stretching, strengthening and breathing, with music and essential oils. You can rest or slow down at any point; how flexible you are does not matter here.
Stretching, slow, safe movement for the muscles that stabilise the spine, plus stretching. If you sit all day, this class is the counterweight.
How to get into a class
Group classes must be booked in advance, because a class holds 8–20 people depending on the type. The timetable page shows the current slots and where there is still room.
If something comes up, cancel at least one hour before the class. If you do not cancel and do not show up: with a single-entry ticket or an entry-based pass the session is used up, and with a monthly full pass one day is deducted from the pass. It is not meant as punishment, a place held is a place nobody else can take.
Group classes are covered by the full and single-entry passes; the passes page has the detail.
Where to start
If you have no better idea: TRX or Body Toning to get stronger, Spinning to sweat, Pilates or Stretching if your back hurts from desk work. After that you will know what is missing.
Our classes are run by 22 instructors, see who teaches what on the Coaches page.
