Group fitness classes are a great way to squeeze in your daily sweat. Unlike hitting the gym on your own, you don't need a plan. All you have to do is show up. And with plenty of fit, like-minded people all around you, you're sure to stick it out even when the workout gets tough.
That doesn't mean classes are without their overthinking, though. See the funny thoughts everyone has during a group workout class.
I'll just be taking my place in the back, thank you very much.

The start of a group class can be pretty uncomfortable. You're not sure if you should be making conversation with the people around you or stretching on your own, but there's one thing you know for sure: YOU WILL NOT BE IN THE FRONT ROW, SO HELP YOU GOD.
Ah, that false sense of security that marks the beginning of every group sweat. Even when the instructor tells you this is the warm-up ("Just to get the blood pumping!"), you can't help but ponder how ridiculously easy group classes seem to be.
Whether it's the instructor or the person right next to you, you are in awe of their fitness level and general ability to not look like an octopus on land.
Why do fitness instructors have the world's best playlists? You're desperately trying to remember bits of the lyrics so you can Google it later while also worrying about getting the next exercise correct.
