The Power Of Group Workouts

You are ready to reach your #fitnessgoals but exercising can sometimes seem very daunting, especially when the going gets tough and it’s just you and the same ol’ treadmill! Maybe this time, all you need is to surround yourself with fitness-minded people. You’ll be surprised at how contagious the positivity can be. Research shows that healthy actions of those we interact with are most likely to rub off on us.

A study published in the Santa Clara University’s Journal of Social Sciences found that participants tended to gravitate towards the exercise behavior of those around them. We spoke to a few experts on the subject and learned that when it comes to workouts, teamwork is most certainly at the heart of achievement. Here are some of the reasons why you should team up asap!

ACCOUNTABILITY

Some gyms require participants to sign up before they can attend specific classes, which is a great way to stay accountable for your workouts. If you’re signed up and it’s on your schedule, there’s a high chance of you not skipping any days. There’s also accountability among classmates as everyone is constantly encouraging each other to keep it up throughout the workouts.
