EXERCISE: Group Fitness Classes - Learn New Moves, Get Better Workouts, Make New Friends, and Have More Fun

Visit 》Get fit, have fun, and join the group!

On your question, “Would you recommend group fitness classes or solo workouts for someone looking to boost their motivation and adherence to a fitness regimen?”

My answer is group fitness classes ALWAYS trumps over solo workouts, 100%, my friend.

Here's why:

• You're in it together. Group fitness classes are like a group of friends who are all trying to get in shape together, like a marriage: you're in it for better or for worse, sweating and grunting together. But they also have a lot of fun and laugh together along the way.
• You're having fun. Group fitness classes are like a party at the gym. Everyone is there to have a good time and get sweaty. The music is pumping, the instructor is motivating, and the atmosphere is electric.
• You're learning new things. A group fitness class is like a circus: there are clowns, acrobats, and even a fire-eater (the instructor), each with its own unique challenges. But no matter which class you choose, you're sure to get a good workout.
• You have someone to take photos of your hard work. Having photos of your progress from group fitness classes is like having a trophy case full of medals. It's a visual reminder of all the hard work you've put in and the progress you've made.

Here's a funny analogy:

Group fitness classes are like a party for your muscles. Everyone's having fun and pushing each other to be their best, just like at a real party. Solo workouts are like sitting at home alone, watching TV, and eating a pint of ice cream. Sure, it's relaxing, but it's not going to help you reach your fitness goals.

Here are a few more benefits of group fitness classes:

• You'll learn new moves. Group fitness classes are like a buffet for your workouts. There's something for everyone, and you can try new things all the time. Plus, you have the chance to learn from other people who are also trying to get in shape.

• You'll get a better workout. Group fitness classes are like having a personal trainer who doesn't make you feel bad about yourself. You'll be surrounded by people who are all working hard, so you'll be motivated to push yourself too.
• You'll make new friends. Group fitness classes are like a party where everyone is sweating. You'll be surrounded by people who are having fun and working hard at the same time. Plus, you'll make new friends who you can hang out with outside of class.
• You'll have more fun. Group fitness classes are like a roller coaster ride. There are ups and downs, but in the end, you'll be happy you went on the ride.

My personal anecdote:

Without going to a group fitness class, I wouldn’t have come across the following workouts:

• Arnold Press (named after world-renowned Arnold Schwarzenegger). If you're looking to get arms like the Terminator, then the Arnold Press is for you. This workout is like giving your arms a one-way ticket to Muscle Town.

• Around-the-world Workout (not to be confused with the hot-air-balloon gliding across the sky around the world). This workout is like a global tour for your muscles. You'll hit every muscle group from head to toe, and you won't even need a passport.
• Dumbbell Ab Crunch Press + Leg Raise Hold: This workout is like a double whammy for your abs and legs. It's like two workouts in one, but it's still just one set.
• Landmine Rows. Landmine Workouts are a niche specialty in the world of weightlifting. And NO: They are not explosive devices. This workout is like digging for gold, but instead of finding gold, you're finding muscle. Landmine Rows are a great way to work your back and shoulders.

• Dumbbell Ski. This workout is like going skiing, but without the snow or the cold. It's a great way to get a cardio workout and work your legs and arms at the same time.
• Sumo Squat Hold + Dumbbell Front Raise: This workout is like a combination of a sumo wrestling match and a weightlifting competition. It's a great way to work your quads, glutes, and shoulders.

Yup. I wouldn’t know any of them, if I go solo.

And here's a witty closing statement:

If you're still not convinced, just remember: there's no shame in needing a little help getting in shape. That's why group fitness classes are there. They're like having a personal trainer, but without the exorbitant price tag.

So go ahead and give them a try. You might just be surprised at how much you enjoy them.

Yours faithfully, Gary
