I had a buddy who was the only guy in weight watchers. He felt the same way.
I started doing it because it's the only class offered at work during lunch hour. I'm not staying after work for an hour, I get home too late as it is.
Been doing it since last November and it's definitely improved my balance, strength, overall athleticism. Will be 60 next year and I can do inversions (e.g. headstands) and other intermediate positions fairly well.
