From dance-based classes to kettle-bell bootcamps, group fitness is ever growing in popularity as a way for people to break a sweat alongside friends and vibrant instructors. And it’s not surprising. The thought of pushing through a gut-wrenching workout on your own might not get you excited about hitting the gym. The group atmosphere provides a unique environment that’s not achievable in a solo session with your earphones. You end up making “workout buddies” and feeling like you belong to a like-minded, motivating community that will hold you accountable if you thought of ditching your training.
We’ve rounded up the top group training spots in Cairo that are sure to provide you with just the right amount of variety, fun, encouragement and camaraderie so that exercise is never a chore anymore, rather part of your lifestyle.
