I run mine at 9AM. Most are women and I tend to chenage the time according to their needs (dropping kids off at school, mainly).

before beginning my program, I did a few things:
1.) Looked at my schedule to see when it would be conveinet for me to teach (ie: moving PT sessions around)
2.) Conducted a short survey - I am in a country club so my target audientce is within 4 walls. If you are mobile you should capture your audience at the local Starbuck, Panera, or grocery store. If you market your survey correctly, those that take the survey will eventually be in your class.
3.) Why not a hold a class at both times? Come up with 3-5 different bootcamp workouts and switch between the two?


Lastly, you really have to look at what your prospects can do with times. I think it will be different for different areas.
