When you want to build muscle, burn fat, and stay in shape, regularly going to the gym will help. Working with a personal trainer is helpful as well for targeting areas of concern and motivating you to reach your goals. You’ll benefit from the community that group fitness training embraces, too. Read this guide for a closer look at group training and its advantages.

Your Guide to Group Fitness Training

What is it?

Group fitness is nearly identical to personal training. The main difference is that, rather than working with a trainer one-on-one, you’ll do so in the context of a small group. Group fitness training differs from exercise or aerobics classes because your trainer will provide customized coaching, rather than instructing everyone to do the same thing.

How do I know if it’s right for me?

Cost is usually a factor when seeking personal training of any type. Because one-on-one fitness coaching is often more expensive than group fitness training, the latter fits into monthly budgets more easily.

If you thrive in group settings and benefit from the motivation of others, then group training is likely a good fit for you. 

What are the perks?

In addition to its lower cost, group fitness training offers a supportive environment of peers to help propel you toward your workout goals. You’ll likely get more done during a session when you exercise alongside other people who push themselves. It’s also an excellent way to make new friends and find people to exercise with outside of the gym.
