Sure, there are a billion different ways to work out at home: Youtube, Peleton, Tonal, etc. For wallflowers and individualists, working out alone at home is a great way to jumpstart a new day or cap off a stressful one.

The drawback of at home workouts is, obviously, no external accountability and no sense of community. Part of the reason we’re such advocates for Zumba and other small group training is that having a community with you, cheering you on and holding you accountable may be just the additional element some of us need to stick with an exercise regimen.
