Top 10 Group Fitness Blog Posts from 2016

At the beginning of this year, I started this group fitness blog, and ever since then, we’ve covered everything from new spinning routines and workouts to group exercise tips and motivational cues. There was also quite a bit of fitness news this year, including that ClassPass upped its pricing, REI marketed a campaign encouraging us to get outdoors and a celebrity conducted in inappropriate gym behavior that we all must take seriously. To look back on everything this group fitness blog has covered this year, I rounded up 2016’s Top 10 blog posts.

I’ve noticed the most popular blog posts cover spin class routines, themed workout playlists and motivational cueing tips for group fitness, so I’ll be sure to give those topics extra attention next year. As a Group X instructor, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to think of new workout routines and songs to try each week, especially when we start to get busy with everything else life throws our way.

I created this group fitness blog as a way to build community with fellow instructors, and be a resource to make it easier for us to do our jobs. I think 2016 brought me one step closer to that goal, and I look forward to striving towards it with all of you in 2017.
