I've been once or twice before but haven't been in ages so basically starting again. I was really nervous going, as never done weights before. Tonight was a different instructor, who was lovely but kept constantly correcting me in the class by calling my name out or coming over to me. At the end of the class she came over to show me a few lifts and to explain how to do it and what I was doing wrong. Even when showing me one to one I couldn't get my posture right, she was being nice but I did sense frustration. I think I was just overwhelmed and flustered by this point and wanted to go. I don't have the best co ordination and I'm alot heavier then I used to be. I just feel so embarrassed 😥

Sorry you had that experience. She might have been concerned about potential injury but should have been more discreet. I used to go to the classes but these days I either do them on the TV (les mills subscription) or replicate the moves in the gym. Maybe either of those might work better for you?

Don't give up ! The instructor will have been trying to help so it was easier for you next time and also to avoid your causing yourself an injury.

Honestly doing that first class was the biggest hurdle. Well done

Try an online subscription. Much better

God our body pump teacher was so bloody fast they wouldn't have time to correct anyone.
Try not to take it personally as she is just trying to prevent you getting injured.

There are tons of other classes, keep trying different things until you find something you enjoy.

I love body combat but can't do Sh'Bam for the life of me.

Exercise should be fun .
