Beginner class recommendations?

CLASSES

Hi everyone!! Joined GoodLife a few months ago but haven’t been able to bring myself to go yet :( my husband and I tried going when we first joined, but it was around 8pm, the gym was PACKED and I got super nervous, had no idea where any machines were, it was 90% men (I’m a woman). I felt super intimidated so I just went to hide in the sauna while my husband finished his workout.

I used to go to the gym religiously from age 16 to 24, but then I got hit with a few chronic illnesses and wasn’t able to go anymore. Finally have my health a bit more under control but I gained over 60 lbs the past 5 years and I feel very different walking into a gym now than I used to (a lot less confident).

I told myself I would try a class once or twice a week to avoid the crowds, and I’m interested in Pilates Core and BodyBalance. Would these be considered beginner friendly?

Thank you!!
