A lot of people unfortunately drop out of group fitness classes within about three months, and this has more to do with the classes being predictable—as opposed to being too difficult.

This means that your instructor will offer similar movements that range in difficulty levels, so there’s something for everyone when they show up to our facility!
And now that we’re entering the heart of summer, it’s a great time of year to start building a group fitness routine into your weekly schedule. That’s why we’ve listed some fun, must-try group fitness classes in the below sections that you should keep in mind!
Fun, Must-Try Group Fitness Classes For Your Summer Workout Routine
Our group fitness classes are always instructor-friendly and open for all fitness levels.
We’re very proud to offer some of the best group training options in the Nyack area, and here are some fun, must-try classes to keep in mind as you mix up your workout routine this summer:
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
HIIT training is known for offering a high-intensity, fat-burning workout—and it’s quickly becoming a very popular group fitness class for many good reasons.
HIIT is a fan favorite because it offers intense bursts of exercises followed up by brief recovery periods. This format pushes class participants to their limits within about 45-60 minutes.
HIIT is also fully adaptable to participants of all fitness levels, so you’ll be able to work out at your own pace if you feel like your classmates are a bit more advanced than you. This customizable approach to HIIT is a huge reason why it’s a popular option in the Nyack workout community!
Circuit Training
Circuit training is another very popular group fitness training option that offers a ton of versatility for fitness enthusiasts of all ability levels.
What’s really awesome about circuit training classes is that participants target many different muscle groups to create a comprehensive workout session. This includes endurance, strength training, coordination and flexibility exercises—so, it’s safe to say that circuit training truly hits every mark!
A lot of people love circuit training because it creates a fun, team-based fitness challenge that isn’t actually a competition. Everyone moves through the circuit together in a fun, fast-paced atmosphere—and everyone’s also able to go at their own pace while maximizing the effects of each station.
Circuit training courses typically include around 6-8 different stations that might vary throughout the course of each class, and these classes typically last around 45-60 minutes.
Strength Training Using Kettlebells & Resistance Bands
Resistance bands and kettlebells are also very popular workout tools that help mix up group fitness routines and challenge each participant’s muscles in effective, low-impact ways.
Resistance bands are also easy to use and portable, which makes them a great option for both indoor and outdoor classes. People also love the constant tension that resistance bands offer throughout each movement, which is great for improving your overall strength and engaging stabilizer muscles.
Yoga
Yoga is a truly ancient workout that combines breath control, physical postures and meditation together into one of the most unique group fitness classes in the world.
Yoga goes an incredibly long way to build muscular strength, enhance flexibility, and promote mental relaxation. Yoga classes range widely from gentle flows to more difficult power yoga routines, so it’s a great option for people of all fitness and flexibility levels.
Bodyweight Exercises
We offer a lot of functional fitness classes each week, and bodyweight exercises are the core foundation of these classes.
What’s unique about bodyweight exercises is that you’ll only use your body’s natural resistance weight to develop endurance, build strength and improve flexibility. Bodyweight functional workout routines also do a great job at creating an empowering environment where people of all fitness levels feel energetic as they push themselves much harder than they typically would while working out alone.
Some popular bodyweight exercises include:
- Squats
- Plank variations
- Push-ups
- Jumping jacks
- Lunges
- Tricep dips
- Bear crawls
- Superman holds
- And A LOT more!
Core Conditioning
Core conditioning workouts are very accessible for everyone, and these group classes are typically scaled up and down based upon individual intensity preferences. It’s always fun when you do core conditioning in a group setting, because you’ll feel a sense of comradery as you all collectively feel the burn!
Shared group environments are often ideal for core conditioning, and this is partly because these exercise routines require an intense amount of precision and focus. This means that you’ll benefit greatly from professional instructors guiding you through each movement and helping you fight through intense reps and squeezes.
These classes often have a circuit-based structure that lasts around 30-45 minutes. Some core conditioning exercises you can expect in these classes include:
- Russian twists
- Plank variations
- Bicycle crunches
- Flutter kicks
- Leg raises
- Superman extensions
- And much more!
