The MVP club has a class called "Group Kick". I love this class and it is very cardio intense. It is a solid hour of mixed martial arts/kick boxing set to music. It is their toughest class. They also have a class called "Group Power" which is as tough as you want it to be, you determine how much weight to lift. It is set to music also. Every three months, routines are changed to challenge muscles and to alleviate boredom. I am in my early 60's and some in my class are in their late 70's....it's all up to you. In my humble opinion, the free classes offered at the recreation center are not intense and for people who haven't exercised most of their life, so joining a private club is a must. Also there are a few 24/7 exercise places with equipment only just outside The Villages. MVP has all the machines as well as group classes....now if they only had an indoor pool!
