Because peak times are particularly crowded, special off-peak membership rates are also available. As well as the usual aerobics, body conditioning and step classes, there are extra classes such as Yoga, salsa and Tai Chi for an extra cost. This is a Spanish city club, but some of the staff do speak a little English and a few club members are also English speaking foreigners, but the classes are given in Spanish.
