Many experts recommend creating a workout routine you enjoy and want to stick with — and group fitness classes are a great place to start. From yoga to barre and strength training to high-intensity interval training, every workout class offers unique benefits.

They also provide community and allow you to step in for a pre-planned workout — all you need to do is show up and move through it.

At Life Time, the extensive roster of group fitness options means there’s something for everyone, as well as every goal, every mood, and every unique fitness need. Life Time offers hundreds of classes on the schedule each week, all included in your membership.

Additionally, each class can be modified to fit varying fitness levels. If needed, ask your instructor for modifications and they’ll work with you.

To help you make the most of the group fitness class experience, we rounded up a list of all the options available to potentially add to your routine. Whether you’re looking for cardio, strength, a combination of the two, or yoga, choose your goal and get ready to try something new. (Check your club’s schedule for class days and times, as offerings vary.)
