Benefits-of-CrossFit-Group-Classes-MagMile-CrossFitThe thought of signing up for group fitness classes might seem intimidating. You might even think that you have to get in shape before you think about joining. But group fitness classes can be for everyone, no matter where you are in your fitness journey.

Here are four benefits of CrossFit group classes:

1. Structure and Programming

When you’re getting started with a workout routine, it can be overwhelming. Where do you even begin? How do you know how to structure a workout or put together a whole week of training?

Group fitness classes take care of all those questions, plus so much more. You have experienced and knowledgable coaches who plan out every workout so that you’re getting quality training. Plus, rather than skipping out on a proper warm-up and cool down, these essential pieces of a workout are part of every group class.

2. Proper Form and Technique

Another benefit of group fitness classes is the coaching you get on your form. When you work out by yourself, do you ever wonder if you’re even doing a movement correctly?

Throughout a class, you have a coach right there to offer feedback and improve your form. Proper form means you’ll move more efficiently and reduce your chances of getting injured.

3. Variety

When you work out solo, it’s easy to show up at the gym and do the same routine each time. The consistency is great for building a healthy habit. But, doing the same thing each time could also lead to plateaus in your fitness.

To continue making progress and avoid getting bored, mix things up. One of the biggest things that people love about group fitness classes is the variety. You’ll not only do movements that you might avoid if you were working out on your own, but you’ll also get a healthy mix of workouts that focus on building strength and endurance.

4. Fun

Working out with a group of people is motivating, and you gain a new source of accountability from your workout buddies. Working out with others will push you to work harder, and the best part is that you’ll have fun doing it. You may not like everything about a workout, but the people who are right there going through the same workout make it way more enjoyable.
