I would say "as quickly as possible" would be the best way to tell them.
Just tell them plainly that the instructor looks like he's teaching them in a way that will end up damaging himself and all his students. They did ask your opinion and it doesn't sound like they have a really big investment in it yet, so even if they have to pay to get out of a contract, it'll be cheaper than having their hips and knees replaced.
They asked you because they trust you. That's great!
