Eight tips for taking your first group fitness class - A Lady Goes West

preview

Skip to contentI love that you encouraged people to look through the window; it’s good to know that you aren’t uncomfortable with it.ReplyI started taking group fitness classes about a year and a half ago but really got into it last year when I switched to a gym that offers more class options, including Les Mills. My favorite class is probably Body Pump because it’s so different from most other group fitness classes and was really my first experience with strength training.I’ve been wanting to try Pure Barre and Orangetheory. I think they both offer one trial class for free, but I would sort of feel bad doing that knowing that I have no intention to join since they are both very pricey.ReplyLove this post! I am a massive fan of Les Mills group classes, especially Body Pump. In fact, I originally found your blog around 2 years ago when I was doing research before my first class 🙂 I loved your release reviews, will you be doing one of the new Body Pump 100?ReplyThese are such great tips!! The non-listening zone is such a real thing hahaReplyHey Ashley! I’ve been following your blog for awhile but I have never commented because I don’t have a blog myself and I almost feel weird commenting without one haha. I just wanted to say that I tried BODYPUMP solely because of what I’ve read on your blog and I love it. Thank you so much!! 🙂ReplyGreat tips! I’ve done pilates, yoga, and boot camp workouts in a group setting. Although I do my workouts at home, it’s always amazing to do a group class every once in a while. I find it so motivating and I can often push myself harder in the group setting.I’m hoping to try a bodypump class sometime–Ive heard great things!ReplyGreat tips! I always get a little nervous my first time trying a class or at a new studio. Having a friend with me always helps a bit, but I’ve done plenty of classes alone. I’m taking a reformer class this weekend and have only done it once before so I def feel like a newbie. Have a great weekend!ReplyI LOVE these tips! Coming to class early is so important. I love being able to meet new participants before class starts and welcome them. Comparison and listening to the words is key too! Especially if the participant is new to working out – they might not be at the same fitness level as others. Sharing this!!ReplyLove this! Being an introvert, I always dread going to something for the first time, especially alone. I have participated in several group fitness classes, but haven’t in a while. Maybe after baby comes I’ll be able to find something.ReplyHi Ashley, These tips are really great ! …. I was looking forward to join a fitness group &amp; this really help me in choosing the One. I am glad to find your thoughts on this 🙂 Thank you so much !!ReplyPingback: The Sunday Skinny 1/15/17 - Skinny FitaliciousI think one of the biggest thing that has kept me from participating in group fitness classes is the “comparison game” you mentioned. It’s a good idea to focus on myself and to listen to my body. I can also relate to your point about focusing on the mirror more than the instructor. Thanks for all of the useful tips!ReplyThank you, Ashley, for this very inspirational post. I want to start my fitness class. Before starting class, this post gives me some great ideas. I should follow these tips. Cheers:)ReplyI like that you mention that it’s important to focus on yourself and your own journey when it comes to taking a fitness class because it doesn’t do you any good to compare yourself with others. You’re there to better your health, so it’s good to remember to just worry about yourself because everyone else is probably doing the same and worrying about what other people think when they don’t need to worry. I just moved to a new city and I’ve been looking for a fitness studio that I can feel comfortable in that will push me to be better.ReplyThis site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
