Which group fitness class is right for you?

Getting ourselves motivated to go the gym is one of life’s great challenges. Many can easily meet it, but for others it is a task that constantly proves trying. Then there is knowing what to do when you get there. Depending on your fitness goals, you’ll need to know what amount of cardio and resistance work to do to get the desired results.

If you aren’t sure if you’re doing the right thing, or prefer a bit of company while working out, then maybe a group fitness class is for you.

There are many advantages to going to a fitness class. You’ll have the benefit of an expert instructor and the camaraderie of being part of a group of people all with the same goal.

But who do you know which group class is the one for you? First you must decide what you want to get out of your exercise. Do you want to lose weight, gain muscle, increase stamina or simply feel better?

Here are some suggestions of group classes and what they can do for you:

Spinning
