Some of us just aren’t made for solo workouts. They can be a big drain on us mentally, and it takes a whole lot of stamina to get through a run or a few laps of the pool on your own. If working out on your own doesn’t cut it for you, you can always sign up for a fitness class at your local gym. Working together with others works wonders for motivation, and the positivity and feeling like you’re working as a team will really keep you going when your legs and muscles start to feel the burn!

Not sure which classes you should enroll for? Here are some of the best.
