Group workouts come with a long list of benefits, but they’re not for everyone. If you’re struggling to fit into a group setting, here are three major signs that you should think about giving solo workouts a chance.

Different Schedule

If your schedule is constantly packed, you may struggle to find time for group workouts. The tricky thing about them is that you can’t do them any time you want because there’s usually a set schedule. If you can’t figure out how to fit them into your day, solo workouts are a much better option.

Lack of Motivation

Group workouts can give you a great motivational boost, but they don’t have that effect on everyone. If you find other people distracting or you feel uncomfortable working out around them, it’s time to either change your mindset or try working out in a different setting.

Fitness Level

There are times when your issues aren’t with group workouts per se, but with the group that you’re in. If you’re on a lower or higher fitness level when compared to the rest of your group, you may struggle to fit in. That doesn’t mean you should give up group workouts but simply look for a group that’s on the same level.
