If your solo fitness routine is starting to feel like a chore—if you find yourself skipping reps, zoning out on the treadmill, or just not seeing the growth you’re looking for—it might be time to switch things up. While working out on your own may have its perks, small group training brings the energy, structure, and results that are hard to match on your own. Here are six reasons to trade the headphones for a group setting this summer. It’s a game-changer.

There’s something powerful about sweating it out alongside others. In a group setting, you’re more likely to stay engaged and push yourself harder than you would alone. The energy in the room is contagious, and seeing others work toward their goals keeps you inspired to stick with yours.

Forget guessing your way through a workout or relying on social media routines. Small group training sessions are led by certified trainers who know how to challenge you safely and effectively. You’ll get expert instruction, personalized feedback, and someone watching your form—so you can train smarter, not just harder.

When you know your group is expecting you, it’s a lot harder to bail on a workout. Small group training provides the consistency and external push that keeps you on track. Plus, it feels good to know that your effort matters—not just to you, but to the team.

Group training is a great way to meet people with similar fitness goals in a judgment-free space. Whether you’re high-fiving after a tough set or cheering someone through their last rep, that sense of camaraderie can make a big difference.

No more wandering around the gym wondering what to do next. Small group training offers structured, progressive workouts that are always changing to keep things fresh. You’ll target different muscle groups, try new exercises, and explore exclusive equipment.

Just because it’s a group doesn’t mean it’s one-size-fits-all. Whether you want to build strength, improve endurance, or just stay healthy, instructors will learn what goals you’re working toward, and tailor the experience to match. Since the program builds over the course of the session, you’ll notice real progress from week to week—both in how you perform and how you feel.

Experience all these benefits and more with Aggie Strong, our summer small group training program designed to keep you motivated, coached, and connected. Whether you’re new to the gym or looking to level up, Aggie Strong helps you workout with purpose, teammates, and certified instructors.

The first session starts on Monday, June 2 and runs for four weeks. You can choose the schedule that works best for you: Mondays and Wednesdays in the evening, or Tuesdays and Thursdays in the morning—all while enjoying the outdoor turf area of the Southside Rec.
