GROUP FITNESS - Nov 2026

November: Gratitude in Motion
Belonging Builds Health has shaped the way we create opportunities to move, connect, learn, celebrate, and simply enjoy being together.
From strength training and dance to mindfulness, challenges, outdoor events, pop-ups, and social experiences, this year has reminded us that wellbeing isn’t only about what happens during a workout. The connections we make along the way matter, too.
And this November, we’re feeling especially grateful for you.
Every registration, class visit, invitation to a coworker, challenge completed, post shared, and moment of encouragement has helped create the Group Fitness community we have today.
Our community thrives because you participate in it. Thank you for showing up and helping others feel welcome when they do the same.

Take a Snack Break....for your Body!

We often think of snack breaks as something we eat for a quick energy boost-but what if we gave our bodies a movement snack instead?

Short bursts of "exercise snacks" are proven to boost circulation, improve focus, and help manage stress throughout the day. That's exactly what our Anchor10-Minute Stretch Breaks are for. Join us from home or from your desk for a 10-minute stretch & move break every Tuesday and Thursday at 3:00pm CST via Teams - your body and brain will thank you.

Stay Successful with Group Fitness Classes

Stepping into a group fitness class for the very first time can feel intimidating, and our Group Fitness team is here to help! Here are a few tips to get started safely:

  • Wear the Right Gear: Dress comfortably in clothes that allow you to move freely. We suggest wearing comfortable workout attire that allows for free total body movement. Shoes are optional in some classes and sneakers are recommended in others.
  • Stay Hydrated: Hydrating your body can help you move more efficiently, so please be sure to drink water before, during, and after each class to stay hydrated and energized.
  • Mind Your Alignment: Proper alignment is crucial to avoiding injury. Listen closely to your instructor’s cues.
  • Listen to Your Body: Some exercises may feel challenging, but nothing should feel painful. If something hurts, adjust your range of motion or take a break.
  • Start with Light Weights: If you're new to a move, focus on form, and increase the weight as you gain confidence and understanding of the class format.
  • Take Breaks: Try not to rush through exercises (even the ones that are very challenging!) Move slowly and deliberately, especially with heavier weights, and take breaks when needed.
  • Ask Questions: If you’re unsure about a movement, don’t be afraid to ask your instructor for help. All our teachers love helping beginners find their confidence. Never forget, even the most seasoned teachers were once beginners themselves.
