Why Group Fitness Classes Work
Ever find yourself just wandering around the gym thinking, “what should I do today”, or feeling uncomfortable on a specific piece of equipment? Avoid certain equipment for fear of getting hurt because you don’t know what to do? Do you wish you had someone to guide you and motivate you, but you can’t afford a personal trainer? Well, our group classes can accomplish all of that AND MORE. Here are the top reasons we came up with to start doing group fitness training here at Sting.
1. ACCOUNTABILITY. Here at CrossFit Sting we want you to show up! You get what you pay for and we are not charging a cheap monthly rate and hoping you don’t show up! Here members have an app to sign up for classes. Some do this a week ahead of time. Treat it like an appointment, have it on your schedule, and you will be less likely to skip. You can see how many are signed up for class and who is signed up for class. Make sure your friends are coming by checking the app. Classes are capped so that you can get the most attention from the coach and avoid it being overcrowded.
2. TECHNIQUE/FORM. Since each class is led by a trained professional you are always in good hands. Not only do they watch that you are using good form and technique, they know your strengths and weaknesses and can adjust any movement or workout as needed. Something bothering you that day? Have a nagging old injury? Need a modification? No problem! Everyone is at different stages in their journey but we can all get a good workout in together.
3. MOTIVATION/SUPPORT. In a group fitness class you will be surrounded by like minded people. Working out along side others will keep you motivated and push you harder than you would yourself. Usually in our classes the slowest person receives the greatest encouragement, support, and cheers from the rest of the class. We track all the workouts you complete and you can physically SEE your improvements. You can see in writing if you are faster, stronger, and in better shape. The people you workout with will become your friends and continued motivators. They will find you, hunt you down, and make you get to class. So, now you have motivation, support, and accountability from not only the trainer but other members too. We are not a place where everyone walks around with headphones on and doesn’t speak to each other.
4. STRUCTURE/VARIETY. Here at CrossFit Sting we tell people you just need to walk through the doors and we will take care of the rest. From warm up, to the workout, and the cool down you have an instructor helping you along the way. Classes are structured but there is no limit to the variety we provide. Everyday is a new and exciting workout so you do not get bored. No more 30 minutes on the treadmill and then a boring circuit through the same machines. Break that boring routine and come feel what a great variety we provide and why it gets results.
5. FUN. From the music to the people, we promise you will have some fun. Working out doesn’t mean “no pain, no gain”. You need to want to come back and we will make that happen. You shouldn’t dread going to the gym. Having others to motivate you and keeping it new and fresh will make it a fun experience every single day!
