If you are looking for a fun group fitness class in Maitland, I have a suggestion.

About 6 weeks ago I joined a workout group called "Not Your Average Boot Camp". I have lost 20 lbs since starting. I love it and have to share it with you! (which is usually not my response to exercise.) It is a 3 days a week Mon, Tues, Thurs and a free/ makeup class on Saturday's at 10am. The weekday classes are 6am, 6pm or 7pm and they meet at Legacy Gymnastics in Maitland off 17-92. (same street as lil' 500) If you are serious about getting in shape but think weight training at the gym is boring, like me, then you will love this class. It is a 45 min, high intensity workout designed to most effectively increase you metabolism. I go to the morning class and I am home by 7am with plenty of time to get ready for work. Plus, I like that I still have my evenings free to run errands, go to yoga, spend time with friends... just do whatever I want. :-) There are all fitness levels in the small group so you can go at your own pace. It is fun and different every time. The trainer who runs the Altamonte Springs class is awesome. He is always upbeat and cheerful and really motivates you to do your best without making you feel bad. (I had a personal trainer once who totally made me feel like I didn't do anything right. It was completely counterproductive) Pleas e feel free to ask me any questions. I'd be happy to answer them!
