Around 8 or 10 peoples in one class. But a lot of people like body pump. A lot of lifting, punching and squatting.

The coach will tell you to take it easy. Especially some fresh people, they’re shy, they won’t go to the first line to show up. A lot of people, a lot of my friends they realised they have a healthy problem. They want to change but they cannot insist.

One of my friends she sits on her seat more than 6 hours each day. She also have an apple watch. This is one function to remind you to stand up each hour. She ignore this kind of reminder.
