I am going to be moving to Roanoke as soon as I get a job, which hopefully is about to happen, and I've been looking at and comparing the various gyms in Roanoke. So far, I'm leaning toward the YMCA due to being able to use all 3 YMCA gyms with one single membership.

However, I've been disappointed to find that at neither the YMCA, Gold's, nor Roanoke Athletic Club is there a single "Advanced Step," "Step Challenge," or any variation of an advanced step aerobics class anywhere in Roanoke! I've watched some videos of the BodyStep format class that is in every single gym in Roanoke and was disappointed--no matter how many I watched, I never saw any of the advanced choreography I've grown to love.

I never imagined I would not be able to find an advanced step aerobics class. There are killer advanced step classes in the Bristol, VA, YMCA, where I am currently living. There was a good advanced step class in the YMCA on Staten Island where I last worked. But now that I'm moving to Roanoke, where I'm so happy with pretty much everything else the city has to offer, I'll have to go without the workout that gets me to the gym above all others?

I'm going out on a limb here and posting this in case anyone else on this forum is a fan of step aerobics. Does anyone have any recommendations about the various group exercise options in Roanoke? Of course not having an advanced step class to attend at ANY gym isn't a dealbreaker, but to me, it's a shame!
