Sometimes, our exercise routine can get a bit mundane and when that happens, it can be hard to stay motivated to keep making gains. Group exercise classes can be a great way to hold yourself accountable and break out of a fitness rut.

The benefits of instructor-led group classes cannot be overstated— and that’s why Universal Athletic Club (UAC) in Lancaster, PA offers a wide range of group classes for our members. So, if you’re in search of group fitness classes near you and are local to the Lancaster area, UAC might have just what you’re looking for.

Why take a group fitness class?

Why not try something new? Group fitness classes can help keep you accountable whether your goal is to workout weekly, or you have specific fitness goals that you are trying to meet. All of UAC’s internationally certified instructors bring their own energy and style into their classes.

Research has shown that fitness classes effectively give people the structure needed to see results faster than they would sticking to an individual workout routine. A bonus: You might be surprised at how fun fitness classes can be and may make some friends along the way.
