Ask friends who are in similar physical shape as yourself for recommendations. Call around to teachers and ask them to describe their class, or a typical student to you (average age, condition etc.) Do not tell them what you are looking for. Let them tell you what they offer. Check out web-pages if teachers have them. Ask to sit in on a class. Make sure you feel comfortable with the teacher before taking a class with them. Do not stay with the first teacher you try unless you absolutely love them and their class. Otherwise, I would suggest that you try several different teachers, talk to students after class and get recommendations from them, and then choose the class that best meets your needs. Do not be afraid to talk to a teacher after class to explain that the class does not meet your present needs and that you are looking for something easier or harder and ask them for a recommmendation.
