• You meet friends in class, which means you’re more likely to keep coming. Friends hold friends accountable (and they hold your spot in class).

• Group Fitness Instructors have the ability to make you work hard without you really knowing it.

• Statistics show that people who participate in group exercise classes stay with their workout programs 3 times longer than those who workout alone.

"Whether your goal is to tone, lose weight, reduce stress, gain flexibility, or just have fun, group exercise works," said Gina Lembo, Wellness Director. "And if you're new to group exercise, don't worry -- there's a class just right for everyone at the Y."
