Benefits

Many group fitness activities, such as yoga, provide peace of mind and can reduce anxiety and many of the stresses of career, financial, and other personal struggles. 

Group fitness can also be a team-building group collaboration experience. By being involved in group fitness you will learn that benefit only comes when all group members contribute to the exercise process. This means there must be a high level of communication in order for all members to be engaged in exercise goals. For example, group fitness such as volleyball requires all participants to work together and to communicate in order to achieve the goals of scoring. In this way, the group fitness experience is beneficial because it imparts the knowledge of team and group dynamics to participants and this can benefit with career and other areas of life.

Provides Fitness Goal Enhancement

Group Fitness also provides a great deal of knowledge concerning techniques that can enhance fitness goals. This knowledge is based on understanding the equipment used to increase respiration, heart rate, strength, and flexibility. For example, you will learn to use equipment to properly assess calories burn for weight loss as well as learning optimal points of heart rate for strengthening the heart.

A Good Experience

The Group fitness experience provides knowledge of exercise and equipment that would not be learned as fast or as effectively by exercising alone as well as finding motivational support. While group fitness may not be for everyone, you may want to try an activity before dismissing it.
