Fun fitness classes in New York
I live in a fairly small city where interesting and unique gym classes are hard to find, so I always get a kick out of reading what they're doing other places. In New York the 'Bounce-n-Slide' class sounds particularly fun because it appeals to a person's inner child: you get to jump on a trampoline, slide on a giant mat that mimics ice, and then do some ab and mat work to finish things up (okay, not so much 'inner child' on that last one). These classes were designed to take some of the boredom and tedious repetition out of what most people think of when they imagine taking a class at the gym, and although the 'Bounce-n-Slide' is my favorite of the bunch, the article also covers a Pilates class that incorporates cardio work and a parent-child class designed for parents to bring their kids with them.
Honestly they all sound awesome! Makes me wish I lived in New York.

We were just discussing this the other day.
My daughter is involved in competitve cheerleading. They've started training them for next season (it's a physically demanding sport, more so than traditional school cheerleading). Their cardio comes on the forms of games, speed races, and agility challenges. The girls LOVE it (a lot more than when they have to run!) and never realize they're getting a workout.
It made me want to design a class for my clients jokingly called "Cardio Fun." Old-fashioned, fun play and games that get the heart rate pumping and the pounds dropping! Glad to see somoene else thought of the same idea.
