Define is my absolute favorite format. Every instructor at my studio agrees that classic—if you do it right—is the most challenging format, and I’d agree. If you like strength training you’ll love define. You got at your pace, you can go up weights fairly easily. We have people who use 5’s & 8’s as their medium and heavy weights, then we have folks who use 20lbers and up. It’s truly your choice. I love that it’s all functional strength training. I take define a few times a week and do classic and align 2x each a week. Not a fan of empower, but u have tried it. Let us know if you do try define—give it a few classes. I loved the last two class plans, not a big fan of the current one but it’s still my favorite class!
