Time To Regroup: Why Are Group Fitness Classes So Great?

You ever get stuck in a rut with your fitness routine? We all have, but being a part of group fitness classes can help get you back on track and keep you there. 

Unlike working out by yourself, where you put your headphones on, make up your own workout and don’t interact with others, a group fitness class is led by a experienced trainer who knows to mix things up and keep them fun. No headphones are needed as you’ll be chatting with other people during class and doing things you would have never thought of on your own. Plus working out with other people that want to get better is seriously motivating. 

The list of advantages to group classes is long but I figured I’d share a few of my favorites below. 

  1. Community – Group classes create a dynamic that pushes everyone to work a little harder. You don’t have to compete with anyone in class but just knowing that someone is working their hardest next to you will make you do the same. Having friends in class helps with accountability too. You’re far less likely to skip a workout when you know you also get to see your buddies for an hour. 
  2. Variety – Group classes, like CrossFit, change up their workout routines every day so you won’t get bored. You might be doing mostly strength training one day while the next could be all conditioning. Usually it’s a mix but “routine is the enemy” so we promise you won’t get bored.
  3. Coaching – Not sure if you’re doing something right or there is a potential for injury? In group classes at Apache, coaches will be explicit with how they want movements done and even offer alternatives depending on your fitness level. Throughout warmups, skills, lifting, workouts, etc. you will be watched and constantly corrected. 
  4. Better Fitness – When we work out alone we tend to do the things we like to do, are good at or the same routine we’ve done for a long time. With group classes constantly changing that up on you, you’ll get amazing results you didn’t even know were possible. This will help you become are more well rounded athlete and capable of much more. 

Group fitness classes can be a great alternative to what you’re currently doing so give it a try when you have the chance. All you have to do is make the commitment to show up and we’ll take care of the rest. 

If you found any of this helpful or know someone who would like to make a change and start a workout program please contact us below. We love helping people become a better version of themselves.

I started CrossFit in 2012 and like many others got addicted to the methodology, to the community and to the physical and mental changes I have seen on myself. I complete my L1 CrossFit Trainer certificate in 2015 and the L2 In 2019. Most of all I love following athletes from when they show up on their first class not yet realizing their potential and then helping achieve greatness.

Certified PT NASM since 2007 and L1 CrossFit since 2018. I absolutely love the art of fitness! I love it even more when I see others conquer their goals & completely surprise themselves. When I’m not encouraging our members to do another burpee, I love hanging with my family, Fiona (my fur baby) & exploring this beautiful earth! Outside of working out, my favorite escape is going & seeing how others around the world live out their everyday lives

HOLD POLICY

As stated in your Apache Fit Membership Agreement, you have the option to put your automatically recurring monthly membership on hold. (Pre-paid memberships we have sold expire based on the specified pre-paid period regardless of usage and cannot be put on hold). Before submitting your Membership Hold Request, please read the following points carefully. By submitting the form below you are confirming that you have read and understand that: Membership hold requests must be submitted no less than (7) seven business days before your forthcoming scheduled renewal date. Membership hold requests received later cannot be processed until after the forthcoming scheduled renewal payment. A member in good standing may place membership on hold only after the initial two month term of membership. Membership hold requests are limited to one (maximum of 3 months) time per calendar year. The AutoPay on the membership file must be confirmed and active. Membership billing automatically resumes after the requested hold date unless a member writes to release the hold early. Use of the gym or its facilities during the “Hold” period will result in the membership being reactivated immediately; and member’s regular monthly membership charges will be assessed. Upon expiration of the hold period, your account will automatically reactivate and regular membership payments will resume. All membership payments are non-refundable. If you choose to cancel your membership during the hold period, the standard 30-day written cancellation notice requirement stated in your membership agreement is applicable. If you choose to reactivate your membership after it is canceled, membership rates in effect at the time of reactivation will be applicable (membership rates are subject to change). Please note: This policy applies to ALL memberships.

CANCELLATION POLICY

We’re very sorry to see you go! If you decide to reactivate your membership in the future (and we hope you do) membership rates in effect at the time of reactivation will be applicable as membership rates are subject to change. If you are traveling for an extended period of time or injured and would like to put your membership on hold instead of canceling, you can submit a Membership Hold Request on our website. If you’re sure you’d like to cancel, just complete and submit the form below. This will serve as your 30-day written cancellation notice as required by your membership agreement. Note that if you have a scheduled renewal payment within this 30-day period, the payment will be processed as scheduled. All payments are non-refundable. Cancellation of membership prior to the expiration of any specified commitment period requires a 30 day notice prior to billing date. Cancelation of membership prior to expiration of a specified commitment period requires a termination fee equivalent to the balance owed for your time with an active membership (i.e. if the difference between a 6 month agreement and month to month agreement is $20/month and the 6 month agreement is terminated early, the balance for all active months is owed upon cancelation.)
