Have you started a workout program before, only to give it up completely a few days later? That happens a lot. There are a number of reasons it happens. The first and probably most important, is that you don’t have to answer to anyone. One day you simply feel tired or are busy and decide to skip a workout. It’s easy to do and everyone has done it at least once in some area of their life. It happens again and again and before you know it, you aren’t exercising at all. A group fitness class in NYC can prevent that from happening.

You’ll be held accountable because you’ll be expected.

When you workout in a group session, you’re part of a small group that works out together. A personal trainer works with each person in the group to ensure they’re working their hardest and doing every exercise correctly. If you don’t show up, it’s pretty obvious that you skipped the session. Most people want to avoid that obvious abandonment, so they always find a way to attend. The group and the trainer hold you accountable.

You’ll learn the right way to do each exercise.

Doing an exercise correctly can help avoid injury and make the exercise more effective. When you workout with a trainer, whether you’re doing private sessions or small group sessions, you’ll learn how to do each exercise correctly by watching the trainer, then doing the exercise. The trainer watches you exercise and to make sure you made each move correctly.

What makes small group sessions so effective?

Small group sessions are extremely effective. You get the personalized attention, yet have all the comradery of a group. Everyone has fun and the energy in the room can drive you to workout even harder and do that last push-up or burpee you might not do at home. The whole group encourages each other to achieve what you might otherwise had thought impossible.

• One of the problems of working out on your own is that you can’t actually see yourself do an exercise and even if you do, don’t immediately recognize problems. Squats may seem simple enough, but your posture during the squat makes all the difference. A trainer can help you with that.
• Working out in a small group is far less expensive than private sessions, yet you get the same personalized attention. It is a cost effective technique to get the high quality workout you deserve.
• You’ll get the benefit of years of experience and knowledge with the latest scientific information available to get the most effective workout.
• The best small group sessions also provide access to nutritional information to help you eat healthier. No matter how hard you workout, you can’t out-exercise a bad diet.
