When participating in a new group fitness activity, individuals experience different emotional stages. Initially, there is excitement and enthusiasm, called the forming stage.
As the novelty wears off, participants will enter the storming stage, feeling frustrated or questioning the value of the activity. This is a crucial point where many give up.
However, those who persevere reach the norming stage, where the activity becomes part of their routine.
Eventually, they reach the performing stage, comfortably executing movements.
Ultimately, external factors may lead to the mourning stage, where participants disengage from the activity. It is important to recognize these stages and push through the storming phase to achieve the benefits of the performing stage.
