It's January, and we all know what that means. It's that time of the year where we all try to whip our butts into shape. But working out alone can be boring and demotivating. That's where group fitness comes in. Blaring pop music, a trainer to push you, and a whole group of people you're way too scared to slack off in front of. Group fitness is a great way to get out of your comfort zone and try something new in your fitness routine. Luckily, the Leach offers a ton of great, free classes for you to check out. Here are some of my personal favorites:

1. Barre Fusion.

If you love ballet and your muscles to ache to badly that you can't sit on the toilet in the morning, this is the class for you. It involves high repetition of tiny movements and light weights. Seems easy at first, but it definitely gets the job down. You also might cry a bit, but it's fun, I swear!

2. Dance!

Wanna party instead of work out? Well I've got news for you, honey. Dance! is the most fun workout class you will ever take. I mean, it has an exclamation point in the name for a reason. You do not have to be good at dancing to take this class at all. It's all about having fun here!

3. Spin 45.

Spin will kick your butt. Although it is an intense work out, it's still really fun. There's something exhilarating about pumping the pedals of your bike as fast as you can, while music blares through the room and your instructor cheers you on. You will be sore the next day, but in the best way.

4. Kickboxing.

This class makes you feel like a complete and total badass. It's a great stress reliever when you're worried about tests or homework. Kick that negativity far away from you and go to kickboxing!
