Small, self-contained groups exercising together, often with a shared fitness goal or ability level, are increasingly common in structured fitness environments. These cohorts provide a more personalized experience compared to large, general fitness classes. An example would be a group of individuals training for a marathon who consistently meet for long runs and cross-training sessions.
This focused arrangement fosters stronger social connections and a sense of accountability among participants, potentially leading to improved adherence to exercise programs and enhanced motivation. Historically, group fitness has provided social support, but the smaller, more intimate setting amplifies these benefits. The reduced group size also allows instructors to provide more individualized attention and modifications.
