An article in the LA Times stated: “It is known that women tend to exercise more when they perceive high levels of social support in their lives,” says Cherilyn Hultquist, assistant professor in the department of health, physical education and sport science at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Ga. “Seeing familiar faces each class makes it more than a stale exercise environment.
It becomes a community with common goals.” Social interaction in group exercise settings can be a vehicle of encouragement and motivation for many, says Cedric Bryant, chief science officer for the American Council on Exercise, a nonprofit organization that promotes physical fitness and creates certification programs for fitness professionals.
Group classes also create an atmosphere of accountability. “Individuals are more inclined to come to the session because of social interaction, but also to put forth better effort because of the group dynamic that occurs with others — a positive competition, in a sense,” Bryant says.
Another advantage to working out with a group is the addition of an instructor. “Many people enter a fitness facility and bounce around on equipment with little thought or direction about their workout,” Hultquist says. “This lack of balance can lead to injury, boredom or can limit results.”
By having a trained professional lead a group, participants receive the full workout experience, including warm-up, workout, cool-down and stretching.
