Why Your Group Exercise Class Might Not Be Right for You
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Sat, 02/29/2020 - 12:16pmUnless you live under a rock you are certainly aware that exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Despite that only 30% of the US population is currently achieving the daily recommended amount of physical activity. You may not be aware though that most fitness centers report losing approximately 50% of their members each year. Elite gyms will attempt to mitigate the loss of their members by offering programs that encourage attendance and a sense of community at their facility, such as group exercise classes. These elite gyms will still see losses of approximately 30% of their members yearly.

Bannister says many who have drastic surgeries or who have focused only on diet and exercise lose a significant amount of weight only to regain it later and sometimes put on additional weight.
