I love training groups...teaching groups...interacting with groups!  There is a great energy when people work out together.  It's never a negative energy either!! People FEED off of each other in such a great way.  When I teach a big class, there are smiles, laughter, jokes, a healthy competitive nature in the air.

Just today, I trained a small group...two friends.  Their workout was designed for them to work together not only in the strength portion, but the cardio.  You should have seen them!  Side by side, they cheered each other on....lots of "good job" and "good work" being exchanged.  Sweat, yes, but also camaraderie and support!  I genuinely feel that they had a good time!  They left the workout feeling good and so did I.

If you aren't engaging in group fitness, would you try it?  I have to admit, I'm not a regular class attendee when it comes to my personal workouts because I like to do my own thing (even though I'm a fitness teacher and LOVE that!).  But, I see the benefits all the time.  Working out in groups brings accountability, pushes you to do your best, adds a little fun, and is great social time to name a few things.

If you struggle to get it done on your own, find a group that shares the same fitness interests as you and go for it!
