All the "free" classes (those included in the amenity fee) are taught by volunteers. These volunteers give their time and expertise for no charge and have chosen the time and location of their class based on their own schedule and on the availability of a room in a suitable recreation center.

Some classes are early because the teachers work, some participants like them early because they also work. Teachers also have classes they want to attend and sports they want to participate in - they have a life too.

For people who don't want to rise early there are plenty of exercise classes later in the mornings and some in the afternoons.

Additionally there are many classes run by the Learning Center - but there is a cost for these.

Then as mentioned there are the gyms and MVP.
