Strength in Numbers – Get Moving With Group Fitness

When it comes to losing weight or getting in better shape, joining a health club is a natural step. It provides access to the fitness workout equipment, programs and trainers you need to help you achieve your fitness goals. But a signing up is only part of the process.

The next step? You’ve got to workout. Regularly. That gym membership card isn’t going to bring you buns of steel if all it does is sit in your wallet.  You’ve got to make it work.

If you need help getting motivated, consider participating in a group fitness class. Research has shown that group support plays a huge part in helping people achieve their fitness goals. More than just a great workout, group fitness classes offer encouragement, community and inspiration. And they aren’t just for the ladies! A recent study found that increasingly more men are participating in group fitness classes, too. Why?

Let’s look at some of the benefits of group fitness:

• Save time.
  Group fitness classes are carefully planned by fitness instructors.
  These instructors know a great deal about the proper ways to do the workouts and are there to ensure that you maximize your time spent at the gym.
• Find Motivation.
  Group fitness classes are highly social.
  It’s a great way to meet like-minded individuals who can be great motivators for pushing through a challenging class and coming back week after week.
• Provide an opportunity to learn something new.
  Group fitness classes are fun.
  Whether it’s cutting edge programs such as Piloxing® and TRX® or fitness favorites such as Spinning and Step, the world of workouts is constantly evolving and introducing new training techniques to try.
