Mix it up.
Sometimes you need a little variety, and there’s no better place to get it than to spend some time in our Group Fitness room. Yeah, it may look like you need to be a professional dancer, but truth be told, it’s really all about shakin’ it and having a good time.
We’ve got more than 40 classes to pick from each week — some are fast and high-energy, and burn more than 600 calories. Others are more about form and flexibility — great for toning and shaping muscles.
And guys, they aren’t just for women. So don’t be afraid to try one! You will be amazed at how challenging these classes can be, and how much they can add to your workout routine!

5 Reasons to Try Group Fitness
There are many benefits to group fitness, from building cardio endurance to improving muscle tone and flexibility:
Reason #1: Serious Results
The average caloric expenditure for our Les Mills programs is between 400 and 700 calories. Of course, what you get out of any workout depends on what you put into it, but the potential to burn is right there for the taking!
Reason #2: Cross Training Options
By mixing and matching the classes that you take, you cross train automatically. For participants who commit to a regular and varied class schedule, results will be seen quickly in cardio endurance, muscle toning, flexibility, balance and core strength.
Reason #3: A Break from the Routine
Does this scenario ring a bell? You are 10 minutes into a treadmill workout and your eyes keep creeping down to the stats panel, your brain continually tabulating exactly how many more painful minutes you have left until you can get off? We've all been there!
Now transport yourself into the group fitness room — pumping music, a motivating and energetic instructor, fellow participants and friends giving you that extra push when you need it — it's pure entertainment!
Reason #4: Power in Numbers
One of the most overlooked benefits of group fitness is the camaraderie that you build in the group fitness room. This companionship can be just the thing you need to get you into the gym on those days when you just don't have the motivation yourself. Group fitness instructors and participants not only provide inspiration during class to push you to improved results, they create an expectation and a built-in accountability system to get you to the club when you otherwise might skip your workout. In short, they help you stick to your plan!
Reason #5: Guidance from World-Class Group Fitness Instructors
Our instructors are the best of the best. All group fitness instructors attend a rigorous training program to fully prepare them to coach and motivate, and they continually receive education to keep them current and skilled in their discipline. They are diligent and passionate about what they do. And their sole purpose is to help you to reach your fitness goals, one class at a time!
