How to Choose the Right Fitness Class For You?

by Up Beat Cycling All About the 'Beat

Trying to sign up for a fitness class? In today’s fitness-obsessed era, you will be able to try your hand at everything from yoga to Pilates and even specialized martial arts classes. The important question is – how do you choose the right class for you from these dozens, if not hundreds, of different fitness classes?

Here are a few tips that will come in handy when making a selection.

What’s your current fitness level?

Your current fitness level matters because no two classes cater to the same exerciser. As a beginner, you must enroll in a low to a medium-intensity class that moves at your tempo and skill level. A good case in point here would be a Belmont, MA spin class. Though it’s a low-intensity workout, it’s steady and reliable.

What’s your fitness objective?

When singling out a fitness class, it helps to recognize what you're looking to accomplish. Hoping for more muscle tone? Try strength training. Looking to get your heart rate up? Try aerobics. Looking for more flexibility? Perhaps a yoga class is what you need. Looking for everything in a more moderate package? Again, a spin class is ideal as it works on your whole body; strengthening your muscles, improving your cardiovascular health and adding more flexibility to your body. It’s essentially a low-intensity full body workout.

Do you have any injuries or special considerations that need to be addressed?

Are you coming back from a surgery and are past physical therapy? Are you pregnant? Do you have back issues or are under a prescription? Being a low-intensity exercise session, spinning or indoor cycling can help you stay fit without putting your state of health at risk. You may still need to refer to a doctor before enlisting in a spin class.

What kind of setting are you seeking?

Do you work better in a loud, upbeat music pumping setting or is peaceful and zen more up your alley? By understanding what kind of stimulation you'll respond the best to, you'll be able to choose classes that fit your needs. Ideally, you should choose a class that’s lively and fun – but not rowdy or too intense – like a spin class.

As much variety as there is, you are the only one who knows what is going to work and what has no chance of ever happening. If you are simply looking for a workout that’s not intense but would keep you fit and active, and is also fun at the same time, you should look up “best spin studio near me” and sign up for an indoor cycling class.
