Do you find yourself wondering if group fitness is for you? Are you ready to get out of your same workout routine and try something different, with other like-minded people? Group fitness may be exactly what you are looking for! Here are 4 ways that group fitness can take your workout to the next level.
1. Provides Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivational Factors
You got yourself to the studio - way to go! You are intrinsically motivated to push through this workout and be the best self you can be. Your session gets underway - and now you are surrounded by other motivated individuals who all want to achieve the same goal. The efforts given by all help you to push through that one extra rep, or add just a little more resistance to your ride. Being surrounded by like-minded people gives you that extrinsic motivation to ensure you are hitting your personal goals.
2. Instructors Aid You in Form and Performance
Do you love to workout, but feel you may benefit from a personal trainer? Group fitness is the perfect happy medium between solo workouts and 1-on-1 with a trainer. The instructors at SPENGA are here to not only motivate and guide you through the workout, but also ensure you are practicing good form to prevent injury; likewise, they are here to help modify exercises to your specific needs!
3. There is Variety With Each Session
How often did you find yourself going to the gym and doing the same workout week in and week out? Suddenly, you’re losing interest in going to the gym because you’re tired of the mundane routine. Group fitness alleviates the need for you to design your own workout, and provides you with variety each and every time you walk through the studio door! The change of pace in music, unique rides, heart-pumping reps, and tailored revive sessions create a new fitness experience each class.
4. Community, Community, Community
Although it may sound cheesy, being a part of a fitness community can truly enhance your workout and life outside of the studio more than you realize. Being able to cheer on others while they reach their own personal fitness goals, or the rush you feel as you high-five the member next to you after you all crushed a difficult workout is a feeling that never gets old. In a group fitness community you not only watch each other grow as individuals, but you grow along together knowing you’ll be by each other’s side through all of the good times and the challenging times.
