The Benefits of Joining a Fitness Class

Group exercise classes are a great way to reach your personal fitness goals and have fun!  With classes ranging in type and intensity, you will gain an incredible amount of benefits from fitness classes rather than working out at home.

Exercising in a group setting is very different than working out on your own.  First and foremost, group classes are fun!  Whether you join with friends or come on your own, you will love the friendly atmosphere, upbeat music and cheers of encouragement.  When you are part of a group, you are more likely to push yourself with friendly competition and less likely to miss a workout. 

In addition to the social opportunities, you will greatly benefit from the physical exercise of a fitness class.  Having an instructor is a great way to ensure proper form, be motivated to push through the pain, and eventually see improvement.  All it takes is one hour a week and you will benefit from the social, physical, and psychological support of a group fitness class.

At Five Star Fitness, we host a variety of classes for all of your fitness needs!  With over 35 classes per week, join us Sunday through Monday.  If you think an exercise class at Five Star Fitness might be for you, take a look at some of the fitness classes we offer:
