6. What type of setting are you looking for?
Some classes are all about loud music and fast-paced exercises. Others move more slowly and are a bit more relaxed. Be sure to read the descriptions of the classes offered at your gym to make sure you choose something that provides a setting you'll enjoy.
7. What is the instructor like?
The quality of a group fitness class often relies on the instructor. Finding an instructor who's personable, engaging and likable can make a big difference when it comes to your performance during class. Do your best to find an instructor who will help motivate you and your fitness goals.
8. Have you tried something new?
It's easy to find one or two things you like and stick with them, but it's also important to keep your body guessing. If you're stuck in a rut of doing the same workout, don't be afraid to try something new and choose a new class to switch up your routine. This is not only great for your metabolism, but it's also a great way to keep yourself from getting bored.
