6 benefits of group fitness classes over individual workouts

Creating a workout routine can be difficult. From getting yourself to the gym consistently to building your own program to being confident in your workout, there’s a lot that goes into improving your health. With the help of our team at Bmorefitbody POSSE, you can do all of these things effectively and efficiently. We offer group fitness classes to help you get the workout you’re looking for. If you’ve never taken a group class, it can be a lot of fun and a great way to get the exercise you want. In fact, we have six great benefits of taking a group fitness class compared to doing individual workouts.

Spend time with friends

Most things we do are much more enjoyable when we can do them with friends. With group fitness classes, you can bring a group of friends to do an hour-long workout. You’ll find that it’s a much more enjoyable experience as you go through the sweat and pain of a fitness class with those you’re closest with.

If you don’t have friends who want to join you for a fitness class, you can always make more in class. The more you attend group classes, the better you’ll get to know those who are there with you. Many people who attend fitness classes with a consistent group become a part of a community and have a strong connection with those they work out with.

Expert guidance

Poor form when you’re working out is not only ineffective, it can be dangerous. This goes for lifting weights, doing calisthenics, and even running. Improper form while exercising can lead to injuries that happen during your workout or gradually build over time. With the help of a fitness instructor, you can be sure that you’re using proper form as you’ll be corrected throughout as necessary.

Won’t feel self-conscious

It’s easy to feel self-conscious while you’re working out. It doesn't matter if it’s your fitness level or ability or simply the fact that there are other people around. In a group fitness class, you’re in the same boat as everyone else in the room. There are always going to be those who are more advanced and perform beyond the average attendees, but you’re more likely to fit right in with much of the class if you’re still learning. Everybody is at their own level and it’s important to remember this.

Accountability

Getting to the gym on your own is difficult. It’s easy to skip a workout because you have something else you’d rather do instead or you simply don’t want to go. One of the major benefits of your fitness class is that you have the support of others who will help you get there. Whether it’s a phone call or a text message, your friends and community will be helping you by holding you accountable for attending your class.

Variety

We often get comfortable with a workout and want to stick with it. But you can only get so much benefit from curling the same dumbbells for weeks at a time. Mixing up your workout is an important part of reaching your goals. Our group fitness classes provide a variety of routines that will keep your body guessing and keep you engaged.

Structured workouts

Having a workout that has a structure to it will make for more effective and efficient time at the gym. Few things are worse than going to the gym and spending time on the floor mat lifting free weights, then moving over to a few machines, and finishing up with a little cardio until you decide you’re done. You could spend an hour at the gym and not accomplish anything besides breaking a little bit of a sweat. Group fitness classes provide you with a structured workout that will target certain areas of your body and keep you moving for an extended period of time to ensure that you’re burning fat and building muscle along the way.
