Hi! Can I go to an exercise class that is mixed? I am going to wear tznius clothes, but when exercising and jumping your skirt can fly up, and you are in weird positions as well.

Exercise classes are a recent phenomenon, so they do not appear in classic halachic literature. Generally speaking, out of consideration for tzeniut, one should seek out all-women's exercise classes. As you point out, unusual physical positions during a class can compromise tzeniut, even when an effort is made to dress in a tzanua fashion. There might be room for a more permissive approach in a situation in which a specific type of exercise class is important for someone's health and only mixed classes are available. Or in a framework where moves are more contained and predictable, like a mixed nordic-walking group. See more Q&A here. Marked as spam
