Are you interested in group workouts?
Here are the benefits of working out with a group.
If you’re on the fence about working out in a room full of strangers, we’re here to convince you otherwise. Here are eight reasons why exercising with others is better than going at it alone:
1- Motivation
The most effective way to motivate yourself through that last leg of exercise is when other people cheer you on.
Group workouts combine beginners with veterans, so you’ll be comforted by others who are just starting from scratch and inspired by those who are stronger and faster than you. Working out in a group will motivate you to push your limits.
2- Prevent Injury
Proper form is the key to preventing injury. With group workout classes, you have a trainer making sure you have the correct form. This is not possible when going to the gym alone.
3- Inexpensive
Group workouts offer you professional guidance for less than the price of a personal trainer. You still have someone guiding you through the exercises but the costs are shared by the members of the group.
4- Community
It really helps to be a part of a community when you are trying something new or struggling. They are on the same journey as you and can support you when you’re on the verge of giving up. You also end up socializing with like-minded people and having fun outside of workout sessions.
5- Variety
Doing the same workout over and over again can get boring and monotonous. Different trainers have different teaching styles, so even if you don’t like one trainer’s classes, you can find another that suits you better. Adding variety to the workout also yields better results and challenges your body in different ways.
6- Accountability
The hardest part of a workout is showing up. Group workouts are booked in advance and there is usually a penalty charged if you don’t show up or cancel at the last minute. What better motivation could there be to ensure you come?
7- Structure
Having a set weekly routine helps you in every aspect of your life. Once you get in one, it is easier to stick to it. It is said that the first couple of weeks of working out are the hardest because you are constantly convincing yourself not to cancel. Fixed weekly workout sessions with a trainer and other people add structure to your life.
8- Confidence
A psychological perk of working out is increased confidence. On the first day, you might be using 2-pound barbells, but as you continue working out, you take on heavier weights. Seeing yourself do better encourages you to keep working harder and feel proud of yourself while your classmates and trainer motivate you.
