So you want to lose weight, get in shape and improve your physical health, but you absolutely detest going to the gym. Believe it or not, we have all been there — even the most acclaimed athletes have experienced not wanting to go to the gym. Thankfully there are numerous fitness classes that change things up and inspire new interests in those that both love and hate working out. Unlike one-on-one training and running through a routine on your own, fitness classes involve groups of people, so that you can learn and get inspired by other people with goals similar to yours.
We have incorporated over eighty-five different group classes with state-of-the-art equipment and instructors who excel, not only at teaching multiple people techniques of the trade, but also at following through with individualized attention. You can take classes like hot yoga in Hainesport, NJ, and have fun trying out new fitness activities, while getting to meet others looking to have fun and live healthier lives.

At Future Fitness Centers, we want to provide our clients with classes that are both entertaining and energizing. Here are the five most popular fitness classes that have turned gym haters into fitness lovers:
- Zumba: For those of you who are looking to help out your heart and burn some serious calories, Zumba could be a great option. Zumba combines all elements of fitness (cardio, flexibility, balance and muscle conditioning) with invigorating music and dance so that each participant can burn between 400 and 800 calories in just one hour. Its health benefits include:
- Increased blood flow to your muscles
- Helps maintain healthy blood pressure
- Reduced stress
- Healthier heart
- Weight loss (and reduced risk of obesity)
- Aerial Yoga: If you’ve always admired the aerial displays of acrobats at shows and wanted to give it a try, or you currently practice yoga and need a way of deepening and advancing your floor practice, then aerial yoga might give your workout routine a bit of a lift. At Future Fitness Centers, we offer free VaihAyasa Aerial Yoga classes. Using a soft fabric hammock (that can support up to a thousand pounds), your body is supported as you move through different traditional and non-traditional yoga poses. The hammock allows you to achieve postures that you normally wouldn’t be able to do on a mat. The benefits of VaihAyasa Aerial Yoga are:
- More fluid movement
- Natural proper alignment
- Decompression of the neck and spine
- Deeper stretches
- Strength

This class’s benefits include:Increased flexibility
