The Health Benefits Of Working Out With A Crowd
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"When it comes to fitness, there’s some truth to the old adage ‘strength in numbers.’
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've all seen it happen: finding the motivation to actually make it to 6 a.m. boot-camp with a friend; nailing the last round of squats when you see those around you powering through; or pushing yourself to shave time off your personal record when you run a 5k race. There is something to be said about the power of working out in a group — but what is it about exercising with others that motivates us?
Not only is group fitness having a moment, but it's having a significant impact on our health, too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Research shows that the healthy actions of others rub off on us. A study published in the Journal of Social Sciences found that participants gravitate towards the exercise behaviors of those around them. And a 2016 study published in the journal Obesity found that overweight people tend to lose more weight if they spend time with their fit friends — the more time they spend together, the more weight they lose.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which makes a pretty strong argument for making your workouts communal."

Meet our new group fitness trainer, Ashley Aguilera
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ashley attended McKendree University in Southern Illinois, where she majored in biology to start a Pre-Med track. After graduating in 2012, she planned to go to graduate school for physical therapy and worked as a PT rehab aide for 3 years. However, she was drawn to personal training and became a certified personal trainer through NASM. Over the last several years, she's worked in a variety of fitness settings from corporate wellness, training studios and women's gyms.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When COVID hit two years ago, Ashley took to the road to leave Chicago and head west. With stops in Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Wyoming and Utah, her favorite spots included Mount Rushmore and the Bonneville Salt Flats. She bounced back to Colorado and settled in.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dedicated to helping people who want to be helped, she's taken numerous advance training courses including Jordan Shallow’s Pre-Script. Her motto is move better, feel better. In her free time, you can catch her taking aerial classes or hiking with her dog “Rue”. Her current fitness pursuit is to improve at handstands.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her clients typically are pursuing better body composition with fat loss and muscle gains, or general strength and endurance improvements. Ashley is available for consultations and personal training. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. [email protected]
