Millions of people are doing it – and it’s growing in popularity! Group exercise is bigger than ever!
Here’s the thing: 85-90% of us prefer working out in a class together, and the science behind it shows that group exercise is a strong motivator! We tend to push harder, smile more, and get energized by the vibes and encouragement from the instructor. Quite simply, having people around at the gym makes fitness fun!
We LOVE this at Planet Fitness! Ask yourself: is there a gym near me with group exercise experiences that match my goals? YES, there is! Whatever your fitness level, lifestyle, shape, size, or target; at Planet Fitness, there’s a workout for that!
