When it comes to staying consistent, motivated, and engaged in your fitness journey, training with a group—especially your own friends or family—can make all the difference. Group Fit is designed to help you experience these benefits by making it easy to train alongside people you know and trust, all while having fun and saving money.
Why Group Training Works Better Than Training Alone
Scientific studies continue to highlight the advantages of group exercise. According to a 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, individuals who participated in group workouts reported a 26% reduction in stress levels and significantly improved quality of life compared to those who worked out alone (source).
Another study in the Journal of Social Sciences found that individuals tend to mimic the exercise behavior of those around them. This social mirroring leads to improved performance and a greater likelihood of sticking to workout routines (source).
Key Benefits of Group Training with Friends and Family
1. Increased Motivation
Exercising with people you know creates a supportive environment. You push each other, cheer each other on, and make every session feel like a team effort.
2. Improved Accountability
It’s much harder to skip a session when your best friend or sibling is counting on you to show up. Group training fosters accountability in a way solo workouts often can’t.
3. Better Consistency
The social aspect of group training builds commitment. You’re more likely to stick with a routine when it’s part of a shared experience.
4. More Fun and Less Stress
When you’re training with people you’re comfortable with, workouts feel less like a chore and more like a social event. This contributes to reduced stress and improved mental well-being.
5. Cost Sharing
With Group Fit, you can split the cost of each session among your group. This makes personal training more affordable without sacrificing quality.
6. Or Go Solo Like a Fitness Ninja — Totally Your Call
We get it. Sometimes you just want to do your thing without your chatty cousin distracting you with conspiracy theories between sets. That’s totally cool too! Group Fit also lets you book one-on-one sessions with a personal trainer who comes to your location of choice. Whether it’s your living room, the park, or your favorite gym, you’ll get focused attention and a personalized workout, all on your own terms.
