Dear Friends,

Are 'an aerobic class' and 'an aerobics class' both correct? Google gives more hits on 'aerobics class'.

Thank you very much.

"Aerobics class" is the better choice. "An aerobic class" has a somewhat different meaning.

It is a class for aerobics, teaching exercises which enhance respiratory efficiency. The "class" itself doesn't enhance resperitory efficiency, the exercises learned in that class do.
