Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
Is group fitness helping or hurting your body composition goals? In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Liron and I dive into the controversial world of group fitness classes like Orange Theory, Barry's Bootcamp, and F45.
We discuss why these high-intensity classes can spike your appetite, burn out your adrenals, and leave you injured—plus what's actually working in the group fitness space. We also explore the rise of Hyrox as a better alternative to CrossFit, why Pilates shouldn't be your only workout, and the social benefits that keep people coming back despite the drawbacks.
Liron Kayvan founded BFLA in 2019. He’s a NASM Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Transformative Life Coach. Liron has competed in Amateur MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Rugby and has been a Fitness Coach for over 10 years.
What we discuss:
The rise and reality of group fitness popularity
Why Barry's Bootcamp can spike cortisol and appetite
The "aimless running around" problem in most classes
Hyrox vs. CrossFit: A safer group fitness alternative
Why Pilates alone won't change your body composition
The social benefits that make group fitness worthwhile
When group fitness works vs. when it backfires
The importance of having specific fitness goals
Why "something is better than nothing" still applies
How to choose group fitness that actually serves your goals
