Let’s explore the top reasons why group fitness classes might be the perfect addition to your routine and highlight some of the exciting classes available at Underground Gym.

Expert Guidance

Group fitness classes are led by qualified trainers who ensure you're performing exercises correctly and safely. This expert guidance can help prevent injury and ensure you're getting the most out of your workout.

• Functional Fit: In our Functional Fit classes offered at all Underground Gym locations, the instructor will guide you through a series of functional exercises that build strength and improve overall fitness. You’ll receive feedback on your form and technique, helping you master new movements and avoid common workout mistakes.

With the guidance of our experienced instructors, you’ll improve flexibility, posture, and balance while learning how to connect your body and mind.
