The fitness instructor teams are contracted by the spa. Princess, HAL, and Carnival contract with One World Spa, if memory serves. The instructors are trained, certified and generally well educated in their field just as the salon staff and massage therapists are. The first thing to understand about cruise fitness classes is the gym is always at the tippy top of a fifteen plus floor moving vessel. The studio where these classes take place are often not very large and frequently well attended, especially free morning stretch. Stretch classes comprise both standing and floor based exercises. The demographic and size of the group and the conditions of the sea dictates the instruction provided. Can you stand and put your right foot on the far side of your left foot, bend over and see how close to your toes you can reach while the horizon bobs up and down outside the window? (I’m 62 and proud to say I can, depending on the previous night’s festivities). Can you get to the floor and return to standing without aid in perfectly calm weather? If not maybe you should not be there. But bringing a chair into this environment as OP heard requested would be dangerously negligent for all involved.
