Most luxury lines which offer classes include them as part of the cruise fare while typically the mainstream and premium lines charge for classes either selling them individually or bundled together as one series class.
The larger ships have one or more Fitness Directors who in addition to teaching classes also offer personal one-on-one training with a fee associated with it. The teachers are all certified in the fitness activities that they teach.
