Why You Should Learn Fitness in NYC

Starting a fitness class in New York can have many benefits, including meeting new people.

Fitness classes are the best combination of meeting new people while also working on your mental and physical well-being, the perfect combination.

While working at one of these locations could be the ultimate goal for some, there are also some great local fitness clubs and centers to consider. 

Taking your first fitness class could be a great introduction to this new area giving you the potential to turn it into a booming career. Finally, learning fitness could be a great hobby. You can take fitness classes at a local studio in your neighborhood or walk in a local park; whatever works best for your lifestyle can still have a positive impact, such as relieving stress and making productive use of your free time. It is important to remember that to keep your hobby an authentic hobby; you should not charge or get monetary gain. Once you monetize it, it can take the ease away from your hobby. Whatever direction you decide to take with fitness, there are many options and incredible benefits to learning fitness, particularly in a city like New York that can provide opportunities. 

In-Person Fitness Classes & Schools in NYC

In New York City, you can find just about anything you need, so fitness classes are no different. NYC has various options to choose from when it comes to schools that offer great fitness options. 

92nd Street Y is a community center that connects people through culture, arts, entertainment, and conversation. 92Y offers over 4,000 classes of diverse ranges taught by some of the most talented professionals. If this sounds like the school for you, some great class options are available. For example, All Levels Adult Gymnastic Workout could be an excellent option for you. The class is 90 minutes and teaches the basics of gymnastics to adults. Students will set goals for the floor, balance beam, uneven bars, vault, rings, and single rail bar with the guidance of USAG-certified teachers. The class is $25 and open to all levels of students. Or, a fun fusion workout using Latin and international themes like Zumba could interest you. Also located at 92Y, this class has eight sessions and includes interval and resistance training for a total body experience. The course is $225, and each session lasts for 55 minutes. Finally, there's Iyengar Yoga, a unique format of yoga that focuses on building strength, balance, and flexibility while engaging in various yoga poses. For $280, students have access to 9 sessions, each 75 minutes long. If you are considering Iyengar Yoga, it is recommended that you have previous yoga experience.

Balance Arts Center in Midtown offers a unique experience. Classes offered at this school are created through the lens of the Alexander Technique in various settings. Balance Arts Center aims to educate students on the fundamental movement patterns that lead to better balance, coordination, strength, and breathing. Instructors offer verbal and gentle hands-on guidance. Balance Arts Center recommends that students take a minimum of 10-12 private lessons if they would like to understand the principles. The Fundamentals in Flow, Balance & Stability is a 90-minute class offered by the Balance Arts Center that helps improve balance and coordination and establish a sense of flow and connection in your mind and body. Students get four sessions and move through an entire flow, starting on the floor and spending some time on their stomachs. Or, you can choose an effective low-impact option with the Walking Well group fitness class. This class helps students explore the mechanics and coordination of walking. 

Each class has a specific focus, such as hip joint mobility, strategies for balancing, spatial thinking, and breathing while walking, to name a few. The course is also great for exploring body awareness using the Alexander Technique. Each session runs for an hour and costs $20. A similar approach would be the Balance & Stability: Fall Prevention class. It's a 90-minute group fitness class that helps students gain confidence in their balance and steadiness on their feet. The instructor will guide students through movements that increase coordination and help them refine their balance. 

Bronxville Adult School in Bronxville, New York, serves the Greater Westchester Community and the Tri-State area. The school was incorporated in 1957, and l recognize the importance of life-long learning, offering all adults of Bronxville and surrounding communities the opportunity for personal growth through life-enhancing skills and providing cultural, intellectual, and recreational stimulation at a low cost.

Classes in New York offer something for all fitness levels and interests, ensuring no one is left out. 

Virtual Fitness Classes & Schools

You are not alone if you find yourself drawn to an online fitness school and courses. Many students enjoy a virtual option because of the convenience and more options. You can take a virtual fitness course from anywhere as long as you have internet access and enough space to move around safely. Taking an online course means that you have access to more fitness schools. Fitness schools worldwide can offer classes at various times, giving you more class options. From a pilates class in New York to a Yoga class in the Midwest, you have access to many more options thanks to a virtual platform option.

Though convenience and more options are great benefits, there can be some drawbacks. One considerable drawback is the need to purchase your equipment. When you take a class online, equipment is usually not provided. That means if you need hand weights or a yoga mat for a class, you are expected to have your own. It is essential to consider that typical at-home classes only require a little equipment, especially if it is a beginners level class. Another drawback is that it can be hard to stay motivated because there is little connection with others. Limited contact makes it hard to feel committed to an activity, or you can even be missing an accountability partner. Consider having a friend help hold you accountable, even if they are not in the same class as you, to help with this potential obstacle. 

Once you decide online classes are for you, you have many options to choose from when it comes to online fitness classes. For example, if you are interested in learning yoga, quite a few courses are offered. You could try Slow Flow, offered virtually at Essential Evolution Holistic Wellness. For $18, students can expect an hour-long, all-level slow vinyasa flow moving through deep stretching and strengthening. Students can expect a moving flow of yoga postures focusing on breath and body awareness. The link for the class is emailed to students thirty minutes before class. If that’s not enough, the Chicago Botanic Garden offers a Yoga Unlimited Semester Pass: Online. For $362, students get unlimited access to all online yoga classes offered each semester. If you want to take an online course at a local institution, Tai Chi Upper West Side provides Tai Chi Beginner Virtual. It’s a small group class sharing Tai Chi Fundamentals and Principles while helping with balance, physical and mental stress relief, and overall mind-body well-being. The course lasts for one hour and costs only $20. Online class options are plentiful, and there is undoubtedly something for everyone, no matter your fitness level.

Private Group Fitness Classes in NYC

A group fitness class can be a great way to achieve a new health goal or be your next fun team-building event for your business or organization. Use CourseHorse for your next private group fitness class in NYC, and they will help you make it a memorable event. CourseHorse offers some great wellness classes that your team can do virtually. 

For example, consider a Virtual Chair Stretching class if your team sits a lot throughout the week during the workday. This unique course incorporates elements of Gyrotonics, Yoga, and dance technique, performed seated on a chair or stool to help the class mobilize the spine, improve posture, engage the core, and relieve tension throughout the body. Your team will leave knowing simple and practical exercises they can incorporate into their workday to help tackle “tech neck” and “office slump.” The event lasts 30 minutes, so fitting in midday with the team can be a great activity. The event is $290 for up to 10 people and $20 per person after that, with a maximum of 500 people. CourseHorse does all the planning for you and the team leaving room for you to make customizations if needed, including changing your group size after booking.
