      Ask your fitness center to start a class. Sometimes fitness centers are behind on trends because the owner or manager doesn't think a class can draw enough people. Put together a list of people who want the class offered and give it to the manager. If you don't know enough people at your center, you can ask to put a sign-up sheet in the lady's locker room.
