9 Reasons to Try Group Exercise

Looking for a new way to work out? Here are 9 reasons to give group exercise classes a try:

1. They’re Time Efficient: With a set amount of time allotted for each class, there’s no need to watch the clock. You can more easily fit your daily exercise in your schedule knowing that there is a specific time the class will start and end
2. Help Establish a Routine: Having a routine can help you stick to your exercise program and ultimately help you achieve your fitness goals. Knowing that classes are pre-scheduled for specific days and times, you can even use them as a basis for planning or establishing a weekly workout routine.
3. They’re fun: With an atmosphere totally different than your usual boring run on the treadmill by yourself, group fitness classes feature upbeat music, energetic instructors and a great workout with a group of people motivating each other along the way.
4. They’re cost-effective: If you’re a member at Fitness Plus, all group fitness classes are included in your membership (meaning they’re FREE). Not a member? Not a problem. Your first class is FREE and all other subsequent classes are only $5 each!
5. Keeps you Accountable: It’s easier to slack off when you’re alone on a treadmill in the corner of a gym. But studies show when you join a group class you’ll actually be motivated to work harder. Whether you realize it or not, being surrounded by your fitness-focused classmates and hearing the encouragement from your instructor helps push you to work a little harder than when you work out alone.
6. They’re Structured: Group classes are already structured to have everything you need (warm-up, workout and cool down) so there’s no real pre-planning involved. All you have to do is show up.
7. Breaks Your Workout Rut: Tired of doing the same fitness routine over and over again? Many gyms, including Fitness Plus, offer a large variety of classes suitable for all fitness levels and personal interests. Whenever you’re tired of one class – you can try another.
8. Receive Personalized Coaching: New to working out? No problem – Group classes are taught by a certified instructor who will give you detailed instructions on the exercises and feedback on your form.
9. It’s safe: When beginning a new or different fitness routine, feeling safe and being safe are key. No matter what your current fitness level may be, our instructors are there to make sure you have a safe and effective workout.
