For those people who seek the company of others in their quest for fitness, there are numerous group fitness activities to choose from. Fitness and leisure centres provide a range of fitness classes including step, pump, flex, power boxing and dance.

Indoor facilities provide the opportunity to participate in indoor sports such as indoor cricket and basketball. Tennis and squash courts can also be found in most communities. They provide the individual with the opportunity to join a friend for a social game without being part of a formal competition.
Group fitness activities provide the opportunity to meet new people and establish friendships. They allow the individual to feel part of a group. Group activities are an appealing fitness option for many people.
Aerobics
Aerobics classes incorporate various conditioning exercises performed to music. A typical aerobics routine involves a warm-up phase, conditioning phase and cool-down phase. Aerobics can cater for a variety of ability and fitness levels. Classes can be designed to be low impact or high impact. Individuals within the class can change the intensity of the exercise being performed to meet their needs. Aerobics improves cardiovascular efficiency, strength, flexibility and agility. The use of energetic music and the instructions and encouragement of the instructor help to increase motivation.
Aquarobics
Aquarobics or water aerobics evolved from aerobics. It involves doing conditioning exercises similar to those performed in an aerobics class in water. As water is much more resistant than air, aquarobics provides a good whole body workout. Participants move in the water following an instructor.
Aquarobics is an excellent fitness option for people who have back or joint problems, the elderly and the overweight due to the cushioning effect of the water. The use of hand weights can increase the intensity of exercise.
Team games
Participating in team games is one of the most popular types of exercise available. Team games provide the opportunity to participate at various levels from social to high-level competition. The social aspect of exercising with others is very appealing to some people. Team games provide the opportunity to develop new friendships and be a part of a team. Often people are more motivated to exercise if they know other team members are reliant on them.
A vast range of team games is available in most communities. Netball, soccer, basketball, rugby league and rugby union are examples of team games that are played by a range of people with varying ability levels. Indoor sports such as European handball, indoor soccer, indoor cricket and indoor netball offer the benefit of being able to play all year round regardless of weather conditions.
Participating in a team game requires people to participate at set times and usually involves a cost to cover membership fees and uniform. Depending on the level of competition, the individual may be required to devote a lot of time to training. Before joining a team, it is important to be clear about the commitment required. For many people who decide to participate in team games, the social and physical benefits provide the motivation to continue playing.
