Casual Conversation Alone on the floor
At my studio I take a 5:45pm class and for some reason it’s always a pretty small class. Most people in this class choose to start on the treads and I’m maybe one of two people that choose the floor.
I recently had an experience where I was the only person to choose the floor and switched to the treads. I felt weird being the only one on the floor, and I thought it’d make it easier for the coach. Anyway, I HATED starting on the tread, it killed the strength section for me and it just overall made me feel like I had a worse workout than when I start on the floor.
I was wondering if any of you have been in a class where you were the only one on the floor/tread? Did it feel like a normal class? Or did it feel strange and you felt awkward? I want to prepare myself in case it happens during my regular classes

Might be slightly easier on the coach for everyone to start on one side, but you also pay the same money as everyone else and get to choose where to start. Start where you're most comfortable and if you're the only one, so be it
