The Best Group Fitness Classes for Weight Loss

If you’re looking to burn calories, build strength, and stay motivated, group fitness classes are one of the best ways to achieve your weight loss goals. At Dearborn Racquet & Health Club, we offer a variety of high-energy classes designed to maximize fat burn, boost metabolism, and keep workouts fun.

Here are the top group fitness classes that can help you lose weight and stay in shape!

1. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

🔥 Why It Works: HIIT combines short bursts of intense exercise with brief recovery periods, keeping your heart rate high and maximizing calorie burn—even after your workout is over.

✅ Burns up to 500–800 calories per session
✅ Boosts metabolism for hours after class (afterburn effect)
✅ Combines cardio and strength for total-body results

Best For: Those who want a fast, effective workout with maximum fat burn.

✅ Burns 400–600 calories per session
✅ Low-impact but high-intensity, great for all fitness levels
✅ Upbeat music and instructor motivation keep you going

Best For: Anyone looking for an intense calorie-burning cardio workout without the stress on joints.

5. Strength Training & Functional Fitness

🏋️ Why It Works: While cardio burns calories during the workout, strength training increases muscle mass, which helps you burn more calories even at rest. Our functional fitness classes focus on full-body movements, making them great for weight loss and overall fitness.

✅ Builds lean muscle, which speeds up metabolism
✅ Improves overall strength and mobility

Best For: Anyone looking to tone up, build strength, and lose fat through resistance training.
