text: Review for RIP SURFER CLASS.  I just want to clarify that this review if for the Fitness class and is in no way a reflection of the spa.  I have been to the spa in the past and it is a beautiful, first class experience.  Unfortunately, I cannot say the same of the fitness class.\n\nA bunch of girlfriends and I decided it would be fun to try out a new workout.  There were 9 of us, and we made a reservation ahead of time for the Rip Surfer class.  Here is the description:\n\"SurfSet reinvigorates the typical cardio and weighttraining routine by fusing all the elements of surfing into a high intensity fat-burning session.  SurfSet shakes things up, continually challenging the body with dynamic angles, a fast tempo and an unstable surface.\"\n\nI'm really sad and disappointed to say that the ONLY thing true about this description is the unstable surface.  There were two instructors that evening and they started by splitting us up into two groups.  One group did the surf set and crank, while others moved to another room to do TRX.  Then we swapped.  The class was supposed to be 60 min long.  I don't think we got a total 60 min workout.  Between explaining things and moving all around.  We may have gotten a 45-50 min workout.  Additionally, we wanted to do this experience as a GROUP.  Which is why we signed up as a GROUP-- not to be split up.\n\nWe may have gotten 20 min of actual workout on the surf boards.  The rest of the workout was done on TRX and Crank machines.  I did not pay $20 to workout on machines that I could use at my regular gym.  I paid $20 to try a new workout!  The workout itself was NOT at all high intensity.  Not to take away from the instructors who were very fit for their age, but we were a group of 9 women who work out regularly.  There was not a single person who found this workout to be physicially challenging or exciting.  It was unorganized, mundane and quite frankly a waste of time and money in my opinion.\n\nBeing that the Princess is a top tier spa, our expecations were set higher.  Between the $20 and $5 spent tipping the valet (because self parking was no where to be found. and by the way- the valet guy actually tried charging me $8 for parking also)-- total expense for this \"experience\" was $25.  \n\nAgain... the spa is fabulous and I would go back, but this Surf class was a total joke and I will not be returning.  Terribly disappointing because it seems like a really cool concept and it is not offered in many places.
