WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT GROUP EX?
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
There is something to be said for “strength in numbers”. In earlier centuries, it was common to have a barn raising. It was a collective action of community for the purpose of support, efficiency, and accomplishment. Much can be accomplished when working alongside someone whose goals are the same as, or similar, to your own.
IN THE KNOW
Working with a professional, certified instructor is beneficial in that you will be “in the know” as you learn what the exercise is, what muscle group is targeted, proper form and alignment for injury prevention, and exercise execution for effectiveness.
MOTIVATION BOOST
Exercising in a group environment has many benefits, one of which serves as a motivation boost, encouraging you to dig deeper and get stronger. Another motivating factor is the energy that is created when many work together for the same goal.
FUN
Let’s face it, you aren’t likely to stick with something if you aren’t enjoying it. While walking or running on a treadmill has its benefits, it can become mundane. In a structured group ex class, you will experience variety, make friends, exercise to fabulous music, and have fun!
You are invited to step into one of our three studios for a great workout that is designed to motivate, educate, ensure safety, produce results, and have fun!
We look forward to seeing you!
