Why Group Fitness Works
Dr Alexandra Williams, a GP, health assessment doctor and personal trainer, provided a personal perspective on the benefits of group exercise for the British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine, an organisation for medical practitioners and allied healthcare professionals who work, or have an interest in sport and exercise medicine.
She said: “Attending classes motivates you in a way that exercising on your own cannot do. It is common to struggle with motivation to exercise or even to leave the sofa at some point, however, the benefit of an exercise class means you are always rewarded with something positive; whether that’s a smile after talking to a new or old friend, weight-lifting a personal best, hearing uplifting music or feeling part of a community.
“Partaking in exercise as a collective group inspires you, humbles you, makes you laugh and provides the social interaction that we innately search for as humans.”
Along with this new-found motivation, you also have expert guidance as every class is led by a qualified trainer, keeping your form correct and your goals in focus.
From high-energy cardio to calming yoga, each class is designed to challenge and inspire you, while taking away the dread of building your own workout routine.
