What does 高峰期 mean here?

高峰期 literally means peak period or rush hour / busy time.

In this sentence, it describes the time when the class takes place. So 高峰期的有氧运动课 means something like:

• the aerobics class during peak hours
• the peak-time aerobics class

Exactly how you translate it depends on context, but the basic idea is that the class is associated with the busiest time period.

Why is there a 的 after 高峰期?

Here, 的 links 高峰期 to the noun phrase that follows it.

Structure:

• 高峰期 = peak period
• 的 = linking particle
• 有氧运动课 = aerobics class

So 高峰期的有氧运动课 literally works like:

• the aerobics class of the peak period
• more naturally: the aerobics class held during peak hours

A useful way to think about 的 is that it often turns the word before it into a modifier of the noun after it.

Is 高峰期 describing 有氧运动, or is it describing the whole 有氧运动课?
