Booty, butt, backside, rump, caboose or tush — whatever you call it, your derriere is comprised of some of the largest and strongest muscle groups in the entire body. More specifically, the gluteal maximus, medius and minimus are responsible for the extension, abduction and internal or external rotation of the hip joint.

Strengthening the gluteal muscles doesn’t just make your rump rounder, it can also help improve posture and overall athletic performance.

If you’re looking for a Class that incorporates glute work, don’t worry — we’ve got your back(side).

Outlined below are 4 high-intensity, low-impact Group Fitness Classes that pay special attention to the glutes.

SoulBody BARRE™
SoulBody BARRE™ is an invigorating total-body workout that uses progressive techniques and dynamic choreography to transform and strengthen the entire body.

This Class utilizes the principles of various disciplines like yoga, dance and traditional interval strength training to activate the whole body. Knowledgeable instructors will guide you through various training routines, while glute bridges, plies, curtsy lunges, leg lifts and ball squeezes set your glutes ablaze.

BODYPUMP™
Often referred to as “Pump”, BODYPUMP™ is one of the fastest ways to get in shape.

With the help of a weighted barbell and key strength training movements, BODYPUMP™ shapes, tones and strengthens your entire body, especially the glutes. This 60-minute workout specifically utilizes exercises like weighted squats, lunges, deadlifts and clean and presses to activate all three of your gluteal muscles.
