Why Group Fitness is More Fun Than Just Going to the Gym

Some people may see group fitness as going to the gym. While you are surrounded by people, it’s still quite an isolating activity – you just share a space with others. Gyms are effective for many people, offering a stimulating, encouraging area in which to carry out exercise with expert help on hand.

However, when it comes to the fun factor, solo gym workouts won’t be at the top of the list. Of course, you have access to a lot of different machines and workout equipment you wouldn’t have at home, but it’s not social like other options. That’s why group fitness classes such as BodyBalance are fast becoming popular workout options for men and women. They offer fun, excitement, and so much more. But, why?

It’s Social

As mentioned above, there is nothing wrong with using a gym for exercise, but it’s not a social workout session. Instead, you share a common area with people, but you’re on your own. Group fitness classes such as Sh’Bam, spin cycling, and even boot camp, are entirely social.

You get to meet new people on the same journey as yourself and have a few laughs along the way. What’s more, many people who join group fitness classes say the time passes so much quicker than if they were to exercise alone.
