- Meet new people. (You know – the more the merrier!)
- It’s good for you. You’ll get fit, and you’ll get an endorphin “high.”
- It forces you to “make an appointment to exercise.” If you have a schedule to follow, you may be more likely to show up to work out.
- Get expert advice. Learn how to exercise correctly – safely and effectively – with a trained instructor.
- Get motivated. Peer pressure and group support can be highly motivating.
- Be held accountable. If you miss a class, someone will notice. And you’ll have to explain your absence. So you’ll be less likely to miss.
- It forces you to make time for yourself. It gives you time to meditate.
- It forces your body to get some stimulation.
- Because you ate that candy bar.
- Because it’s fun. Yes, it’s work, but it’s fun work!
