An aerobics class is a place where people come to get trained in aerobics by an instructor. Mostly it is a room with an instructor at the head leading all the rest through a series of movements. The classes usually have a fixed routine. These classes are conducted about three to four times a week for about an hour each.

There are many different aerobic classes depending upon the type of aerobics. There are dance aerobic classes which involve dancing to a routine. There are many different types of dance aerobics such as hip-hop aerobics, bhangra aerobics and punk rock aerobics. These forms of aerobics are becoming especially becoming popular in recent times because they are enjoyable.

Step aerobics is also a form of aerobics which involves stepping up and down on an elevated platform to a specific beat. This type of an aerobics class takes place in a closed room preferably air conditioned.
