STUDIO CLASSES vs. Solo Training: Which Is Better for Your Goals?

When it comes to fitness, one of the biggest decisions you'll face is whether to train alone or join a studio class. Both options offer distinct benefits, and the best choice depends on your personal preferences, goals and motivation levels. Let’s explore the advantages of studio classes and solo training to help you determine which approach is right for you.

The Benefits of Group Fitness

Studio classes, such as StudioONE, Run Athletic, Cycle, Exhale and Reformer, offer a structured workout led by our qualified instructors. Here’s why studio classes might be the best fit for you:

1. Built-in Motivation and Accountability

Exercising with others creates a sense of accountability. You’re more likely to show up and push yourself harder when you have a set schedule and a community cheering you on.

2. Social Connection and Support

Studio classes provide a fun and energetic atmosphere. If you enjoy working out with others, the camaraderie can keep you engaged and committed to your fitness journey.

3. Expert Guidance

Our certified instructors ensure you are using proper form and technique, reducing the risk of injury and improving efficiency in your workouts.

4. Variety and Fun

Studio classes incorporate music, varied programming and creative exercises, making workouts more enjoyable and preventing boredom.

The Benefits of Solo Training

Solo training at FIT allows for a more personalised approach to fitness. Here’s why training alone might be the right choice for you:

1. Flexibility and Convenience

With solo training, you can work out whenever and wherever it fits your schedule. There’s no need to coordinate with class times, especially if you like to train at off-peak times. At FIT your membership includes 24/7 access, so you can take full advantage of this flexibility.

2. PersonaliSed Workouts

Solo training allows you to focus on your specific goals, whether that’s strength building, endurance, or mobility. You can customise your routine to suit your fitness level and preferences.

3. Focus and Mindfulness

Exercising alone eliminates distractions and social pressure, helping you stay fully focused on your workout, technique, and progress.

4. Progress at Your Own Pace

Without the structure of a class, you can spend more time perfecting movements, increasing intensity, or adjusting workouts based on how you feel each day.

Which One is Right for You?

The choice between studio classes and solo training ultimately depends on your goals and personality.

• If you thrive on social interaction, need accountability, or prefer structured workouts, studio classes may be your best bet.

• If you prefer flexibility, enjoy personalising your routine, and like working out at your own pace, solo training might be the better option.

But you don’t have to choose just one, many of our members benefit from a mix of both, using solo workouts to focus on specific goals while incorporating studio classes for motivation and variety.

No matter which path you choose, consistency is key. Find the approach that keeps you engaged, challenged, and moving towards your fitness goals.
