Instructor Led Workouts vs. Go-At-Your-Own-Pace Workouts
LISTEN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER
In this episode of Embrace Your Real, we are going to chat about instructor-led workouts vs. “go at your own pace” workouts. We are going to dive into the pro’s and con’s of each to help you decide which option makes the most sense for you.
Instructor-led workouts could be riding your peloton, going to Orange Theory, or turning on a Beach Body workout like Insanity or doing P90X on your laptop, just any workout where an instructor is leading you through the workout and you are following their lead through the entire workout.
On the flip side, a “go at your own pace” workout is one where you have a plan for what the workout is, and you may even have video tutorials of what the exercises are, but you perform the workout at your own speed and are not following along to a video.
Both have their pro’s and con’s, it just depends on what makes most sense for you and that’s what we are going to figure out in this episode. By the end, you will have a clear idea of what workout style best fits your needs.

Hey there, beautiful human. You're listening to Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Ledbetter. A podcast where I empower you to just be you. With each episode, I issue a dose of real talk and actionable advice for building your confidence, honoring your body, and unconditionally loving your authentic self. Stay tuned if you're ready to embrace your real. Let's get hugs, girl. Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Embrace Your Podcast. I am so excited about today's episode. Today we're going to be chatting all about instructor LED workouts versus go at your own pace workouts. We're going to dove into the pros and the cons of each to kind of help you decide which option would make most sense for you. Now think of instructor led workouts, something like Peloton going to Orange Theory, turning on Beachbody Insanity, doing P90X on your laptop. Just kind of any workout where an instructor is leading you through the workout and you're following their lead the entire workout. Whereas on the flip side, go at your own pace is where you have a plan for what the workout is, and you might even have video tutorials of what the exercises are, but you are performing the workout at your own speed, you're performing it at your own pace. And so kind of by the end of this episode, my hope is that you'll have a clear idea of what workout style works best for you and what kind of workout style would fit your needs best. So that's kind of the goal here. I get asked every single day which one is better and kind of which one I prefer. And so I just thought, why not make a podcast episode that I can refer people back to and you can make the decision on your own because it's going to vary from person to person.
And so that's why I try to do these type of episodes, like I did one working out at home versus working out at the gym. I know that working out at home or working out at the gym is not going to work for every single person. And so that's kind of why my hope is to just lay out pros and cons and let you decide based on kind of an in-depth conversation about it. But before I dove in, I wanted to share this review. It comes from Macy 9012. She gave a five star review and said Perfect Lifestyle Fitness podcast. I've been looking for a podcast that covers fitness, lifestyle plus mental and physical health, and this one does exactly that. I have listened every day since I found out about it and cannot wait to share it with more people. Thank you for your encouragement and daily food for thought. I love this so much and I firmly believe that fitness is so much more than your appearance. In fact, I was just having this conversation with some of the women inside of my movement with Julie Group, and they were just kind of sharing transparently about what's going on mentally. And man, I am just so proud of every single one of you guys that are on your journey, and I'm even more proud of you when you're prioritizing your mental health and recognizing that your mental health is such a huge part of this lifestyle. I never want you to categorize your fitness lifestyle as just being appearance. I think that that is shallow, and I think that that will lead you down a dead end. And so I just always my hope and my prayer for this podcast and just kind of the content that I put out is to remind you, yes, it's important to honor your body with movement, but yes, it's also important to nourish your body and to speak to yourself lovingly.
And for me, that's intimate time with my creator, with God, and just kind of diving more into that. And so please remember that the lifestyle that's going to be sustainable and that's ultimately going to give you the most fulfillment is one that is a full mind body soul experience. So with that being said, let's dove into today's podcast episode. First, we're going to be talking about the pros of instructor led workouts, whether that's in-person or online. So pro number one is that you can just play and follow along. You don't have to think about what you're doing. You just have to show up and do kind of what you're told on that video in the workout. And some people really enjoy this kind of hands off experience. They love that they can just open up whatever it is, whether it's a YouTube video or it's a Peloton class or going in-person to an orange theory class or, you know, there's so many different boutique fitness classes and studios nowadays. So whatever it is that you just show up and you just follow along. Pro number two is that from that you can kind of build a community, right? So if you always go to a 6 p.m. workout class, most likely there's going to be kind of the same crowd. You're going to start to have a similar workout crew and that's kind of a great way to meet new people and build an accountability network, and it's also a great way to make working out more fun. So especially if those are in class or in-person classes, you're going to be able to meet these people face to face and be able to develop a relationship with them. Pro number three is that you might be more consistent.
Now this really is going to depend on the person, but some people are way more consistent when they need, you know, to sign up for a certain class and they see that on their calendar, they pay for it. And many of these instructor led workouts. Right. You need to sign up online, especially with everything kind of that COVID made in terms of creating systems and just more ways to, you know, be safer and show up online or show up in person by reserving your spot online and whatnot. So on and so forth. There's so many gems that have created systems out of what has come from COVID over the last few years. And so doing that by signing up, it's, you know, it makes it more difficult for you to flake out once you sign up. So if it's feasible in your schedule, you know, to be commuting to and from the gym regularly, then these workout classes can be great for getting you to be more consistent. Pro number four is that it can give you an extra push. Now some people struggle to push themselves in their own workouts and they just need an instructor to push them. So if it's a good instructor led workout, they're going to ensure, you know, during that class that you're not going to slack off, especially like I mentioned, if that's in person. Now, if this is online, that's still kind of I mean, the instructor can encourage you to push in, can encourage you to do X, Y and Z, but you're ultimately responsible for that. Pro number five is that it can give you some direction. Now, for some people who go to the gym without a plan or any knowledge as to how to structure their workouts, then going to a workout class can really help bring them structure.
They'll see a lot better results going to classes than they would if they just continued following random workouts by themselves. So those are some of the pros of instructor led workout classes. Now I want to kind of dove into the cons. Now, con number one is that it can be a high cost. While yes, it could be more affordable than personal training, these instructor led classes typically have a much higher cost than just a membership or working out from home, despite some. There are some memberships out there. I see. You know, obviously Peloton is an instructor lead. Whether you get the Peloton bike, that's a whole another story because that's a huge investment or you're just doing kind of the app and you are doing it on your own bike or you're just running outside or whatnot. But many of these actual like boutique classes, these workout gyms that you sign up for classes, they can range anywhere easily from 100, 250 a month and sometimes even more, which could be a big chunk of extra money for some people. And a lot of people not don't necessarily have that much to spend on, you know, on a membership every single month. Con number two is that you can't really recover at your own pace and this can kind of lead you to getting in a lower volume workout. Now, in a group fitness class, you may only be given a 32nd break or in many cases no break at all. So you'll end up be, you know, sitting out a minute or two to kind of catch your breath. And you might miss a minute or two of this circuit. If that happens several times, you might end up missing like an entire 10 to 15 minutes of the workout.
So it really kind of depends on how the instructor is leading it. And you have to remember that this instructor is leading it to the mass public. And so in that case, you know, they're kind of going to take the average of like what the average person should need for rest. And that might be less or more than what you need, depending on where you're at in your experience. Now, con number three is that you could have a higher risk of injury. So when you're in a group setting, sometimes you push yourself further than you should because you're trying to keep up with the instructor and trying to keep up with the group rather than just listening to your body. Well, yes. And instructor led class can be great for some by pushing them, you know, more than they would otherwise. For others, it could actually push yourself too far. You're lifting heavier weight than you should. Your form is wrong. You're doing it a lot faster than normal and not really creating that mind to muscle creation and mind muscle connection when it comes to every single movement, especially in the strength classes or you're doing like the high intensity workouts, you could have that higher risk of injury just because you're pushing yourself too much and too far. So you really need to understand kind of the difference between feeling the burn versus actual pain and like pushing yourself too far in a specific movement. Con number four is if it's a resistance training class, usually these workouts focus on higher reps. So you're doing, you know, anywhere from 25 reps as set and you're doing as many reps as possible in 1 to 2 minutes, which could be fine if your goal is muscle endurance, but that itself is not going to be as effective for muscle growth.
You really trigger that hypertrophy between 8 to 12 max reps where you feel like you're maxing out and you couldn't do one more rep between that 8 to 12 reps. So if your goal is to build muscle effectively and efficiently, then this isn't going to be the best route for you. And con number five is that you're more likely to have gym intimidation if you're doing these instructor led workouts in person. It's really easy to kind of compare yourself and compare your fitness level to other people's fitness levels in these workouts, especially if you're in a room with them. Now, do I think that you can absolutely overcome that 100%? But I do know, just speaking from experience and also just talking to thousands of women over the course of the years that I've been in this, they said that. Just walking into a room. I feel a lot of intimidation because everybody's at different fitness levels and it's easy to think that you're not fit enough or you're not fast enough or you're not strong enough. And it's easy to get discouraged because you're thinking all of those things and it can put you into a negative headspace afterwards. Con number six is that you are stuck to working out a certain time. So I know for many busy moms commuting to and from the gym, you know, that takes up time that they don't have or they don't have time to spare. And commuting at a certain time to work out just might not be feasible for a lot of people. Trying to get to these workouts could be way more of a headache and an inconvenience than it would be if they were able to just work out on their own time.
And some of these instructor led. Obviously, if you're doing YouTube videos or if you're doing Peloton, that can kind of be at your own pace. But again, you are committed to this certain workout to that, you know, the time that it takes for that workout and whatnot. And so just keep that in mind. And lastly, con number seven is that you may workout your body unevenly. So if these instructor led workouts are broken up on different days, like Mondays legs, Tuesday is back, Wednesdays is shoulders and so on and so forth. What I have seen people do is that they cherry pick what they want to do in terms of these classes, and often times they're just doing full body workouts or they're just doing like an express cardio class, which again, not bad in and of itself, but you might not be completely effectively working every muscle group. And that's really, really important if you want to see results in your health and fitness. And so my advice to you is if you choose to kind of go this route of instructor led workouts, just make sure that you are not sticking to one thing. You have to constantly challenge yourself and make sure that you are training all of your muscles effectively. And even if you're just always doing full body workouts, you have to remember that in full body workouts you're doing a lot of compound movements, you're doing a lot of movements that hit multiple different muscle groups in one movement. So oftentimes you're not going to be able to lift as heavy as you could simply because, for example, you're doing a hammer throw to a back row to a hammer curl. So in that movement, you likely can do more weight on your back, right? Your back is a big muscle.
You can lift a lot more weight than you can in the hammer curl for your biceps. And so oftentimes I know for me, you know, on a back row, I could pick up a 55 to £65 dumbbell and be able to do just strictly back rows, like one arm back rows. Whereas if I were to do that two in one movement of the hammer curl to the back row, I would likely pick up 15 to £20 simply because I can't do a hammer curl effectively and have the proper form if I were to pick up that huge dumbbell. So you're not going to be lifting as heavy, which could impact your overall results. So keep that in mind. So that's kind of the pros and cons when it comes to instructor LED workouts. Now, let me go into kind of the pros and cons of the go at your own pace workout. So this again, would be that you have a plan, you have the workout. The workout is planned out for you. Whether that's a PDF, whether that's an app, you have maybe video tutorials for the exercises, but ultimately you are performing them, right? So the trainer is giving you the reps the sets, but they're not saying, you know, pick up £10 dumbbells or pick up £8 dumbbells. It's really you deciding this for yourself and you going at your own speed versus the follow along workouts. Okay, so pro number one is that you can go at your own pace and improve your own pace. So we are all at different fitness levels and if you're just starting to workout, going at your own pace can actually be a lot more motivating than feeling like you're constantly behind when an instructor is leading a class, whether that's virtual or in-person, because you might feel a lot of pressure and you might feel discouraged and you might feel like you're totally compromising your form just because you're trying to keep up.
Whereas going at your own pace, you don't have to feel the pressure to push yourself further than you should, and you can feel comfortable starting where you are and working up from there. Pro number two is that you can work out when you want so you don't have a scheduled time to work out. You can work out when it's best fits your schedule, right? And so if your schedule is constantly changing, it's really easy to be able to fit a workout in to a different part of the day rather than having to skip your workout simply because you can't make that time that the instructor led class is at or whatnot. Pro number three is that you can actually change the length of the workout based on your energy levels and your schedules. So sometimes maybe you don't have the energy for the full 4560 minute workout, but when you're doing the go at your own pace, you can actually adjust the lane. Of the workout based on your needs. So if you only have 30 minutes, you can totally adjust your workout to 30 minutes. Or even if you only have 15 or 20 minutes to spare, you can adjust your workout like that, right? Whereas if you were to go into an instructor led workout, you likely cannot just I mean, unless you just turn it off, you're likely not going to be able to do that and you're going to end up working your body unevenly, simply because oftentimes if you dip out on a class, you know, 15 minutes early or 20 minutes early, you're going to miss out on a lot of what that instructor had planned for the remainder of the class. So that can definitely be a pro when it comes to going at your own pace workouts.
Pro number four is that you can be more flexible with your weekly workout schedule, right? So if you miss a leg day on Monday, you can do it on a Tuesday. Unlike an instructor led workout. If you miss the leg day on Monday, especially if it's an in-person class, then you're missing that leg day for the week. Great, because they might not offer that the remainder of the week. Whereas if you go at your own pace with their workouts, you can adjust your workout schedule to match your life schedule. And that's what I love so much about the go at your own pace workouts is that everybody's workout is constantly changing, it's evolving, you know, even if your schedule pretty much stays the same from day to day, if something if there's a curveball thrown in your schedule, you're able to adapt. And this way this'll ensure that you're hitting all your muscle groups and you're not leaving one out simply because you couldn't do it on a specific day. Pro number five is that you can work out from home and not commute. Now, this is specifically, you know, kind of talking about the instructor led workouts at those boutique gyms or in-person. You do not need a lot of equipment. I'm telling you that that's one myth that so many people think they have to spend thousands of dollars on this home gym. And that's just not the case. All you truly, truly need is a pair or two of dumbbells. I always say if you can have a light pair, which is, you know, £5, £8, £10, and if you can have a medium to heavy pair, which is £12, £15 or £20, if you just have one pair of each of those, a small space in your phone, you can get a killer workout in.
So you really don't need a lot of equipment, but you can truly workout from home and not have to commit, right? So instead of spending 15 minutes driving to the gym, you can spend that 15 minutes getting ready for your workout or spend that 15 minutes actually doing your workout because you don't even need to get ready for your workout if you're doing it at home. Right. And you can end up saving yourself a lot of time throughout the day. So if you feel like you don't have enough hours in the day, this could simply be a great opportunity for you to just sneak in these small workouts and show yourself and prove to yourself that you genuinely don't need a lot in order to see massive results. Pro number six is that you can focus on yourself and your progress and not have to compare yourself to others. So if you're doing your own workouts, especially at home, you don't have anyone directly to compare yourself to. So even if you're working out at the gym, no one is doing the exact same workout as you. Unless you're following a program and you see somebody else that is doing similar movements, likely they might be doing the same workout plan as you. Or maybe they're following you and you have no idea, like they're seeing what you're doing and they're kind of copying it. I know that people do that all the time, and I think that that's awesome, honestly. But if you are doing the work out on your own, you don't have anyone else to compare yourself to, right? But in an instructor led class, everyone's doing the same workouts. You're seeing someone lift £100, you're seeing another person lift, you know, £20.
You're lifting £10. Whatever it is, it can be super demotivating, but when you're working out on your own, it's you versus you. And you can truly learn to celebrate the wins with yourself and learn to do that on a regular basis throughout your journey. Now pro number seven is that you can focus on your personal goals. So when you're working out on your own pace, you can actually focus on your own goals and take it at your own pace. You're then able to kind of tailor your workouts for exactly what you need. So maybe your goal is to work out four times a week for 20 minutes. Amazing. Then you're able to do what you can with your own workouts. Maybe your goal is to do ten push ups like you really want to master the movement of push ups. You can spend time weekly focusing on mastering that, or maybe that squats or maybe whatever it is for you. You're able to spend the time to focus on that so that you can get better at it. Maybe your goal is to lift heavy and you need more rest time between your sets. You're able to cater that to yourself because you're working out at your own pace and you're. Not having the instructor tell you 30 seconds when in reality, if you're lifting heavier, you need that 1 to 2 minutes. Right? So your goals might be different than what the instructor has planned. And so that's why going at your own pace can be super beneficial and can serve you long term. Now, let's kind of dove into the cons of going at your own pace. So number one is that you don't have accountability. But with that being said, I always say you can create your own accountability like I've talked about in previous episodes.
You can start tracking how consistent you are, right? So have that calendar where you're acting off each day that you've been consistent and at the end of the month you're counting up those days and for the next month maybe you're going to try and beat that or whatever it is. You can also get friends and families involved to help hold you accountable. I know, for example, I have my movement with Julia, which is a go at your own pace platform, but we actually have a private Facebook group where all the ladies get to connect. And the coolest thing about it is that it's a go at your own pace, but the workouts are available to everybody. So everybody is doing the same workout. But because it's go at your own pace, it really is going to look different from person to person, whether they decide to do the full workout or the 30 minute workout. And then within that, you know, there's modifications for every movement. So maybe for you, you just can't do a certain movement yet. And so, you know, you're scaling back on a certain movement or maybe you're like, I can do this and you're pushing yourself, right? So there's really kind of a lot of room in that for you to create your own accountability when it comes to that, go at your own pace. I know it is so incredible to have a private community. I lean on this virtual community even though they're not in person. I feel like they're my sisters. I feel like I know them. And the fact that we are sharing sweaty selfies, post-workout selfies on a daily and weekly basis really does make me feel like I'm a part of a community. Con number two is that you need to kind of push yourself, right? So you don't have anyone to rely on but yourself.
And these go at your own pace workouts. And some people really struggle to push themselves hard enough to see results. But here's the thing this could be a great growth opportunity for you. Skills that you develop in the gym or in your workouts really do bleed into other aspects of your life. And if you learn to push yourself hard in your workout, then you will learn to build the skill, to push yourself harder and work to be more present in your relationships and in other important aspects of your life. Really learning to push yourself is a skill that you should work on and develop, and we really shouldn't have to feel like we rely on other people to push us to reach our fullest potential. We should be able to push ourselves. Can number three is working out at home. You do need to invest in your own own equipment, but like I mentioned earlier, it's not going to cost you thousands and thousands. I'm telling you that up front, I have seen women spend, you know, $10, whether that is them finding steels on Facebook marketplace. I've seen people invest maybe $50 or $150 to get a few dumbbells, but really you don't need that much. So you just keep that in mind when it comes to building your own kind of home gym place. And it really you don't even need a specific, dedicated place in your house, especially if you are able to kind of push the dumbbells under the bed or put it behind the desk or whatnot. But you do need to invest a little bit upfront. Keep in mind that this actually would probably even be less or equivalent to the amount that you'd pay for a membership at an instructor led workout boutique gym.
But keep in mind that when you're buying equipment for yourself, that is a lifelong investment. So even though it might be a little bit more upfront, that's going to serve you for a lifetime. It's very, very rare that your dumbbells are going to rust. I mean, that will take decades and decades. So keep that in mind. It is an investment, but it will serve you for a lifetime. Con number four is that you need to educate yourself on proper form. So you are going to have an instructor giving you real time cues on how to fix your form. So you are going to have to practice and perfect that form not only to ensure that you don't injure yourself, but also ensure that you're working the right muscles effectively. For example, the go at your own pace. In my workout out movement with Julie, I do give you video demonstrations for every movement so that you can look at it. I also do give you some trainer notes to focus on, but ultimately you are going to have to educate yourself in terms of proper form. So keep that in mind. I will give you a little spoiler alert. We have some amazing updates coming in the app that will give you guidance on compound movements so that you can really have that solid foundation of knowing, proper cues, you know, in the movements that you use often, and so that you will feel confident in those movements but ultimately go at your own pace. You are going to have to educate yourself on that proper form. So there you have it. Those are the pros and cons of instructor led workouts versus kind of go at your own pace workouts. Again, it's going to vary from person to person.
It's also going to vary based on where. You write in your life, like the season of life that you're in. And I know there are some people that they used to love going to those instructor led workout gym boutiques in college. They felt like it was a great community. But now that they have a family or they're working professional or they have kids running around, it's really difficult to get there. And so they have kind of changed their workout method. It's going to change and it's going to vary, and that's totally fine. And that's what I always say is that we're constantly growing, we're constantly evolving, and allow yourself this space and give yourself kind of time to recognize that and also ask yourself, What do I need in this season of life? Is it different from a past season? And if so, that is okay. Honor that and try to figure out what's going to work best for you. So if you decide to go at your own pace. I do have an app. It's called Movement. With Julie, it's 100%. Go at your own pace style workout. I give you the exact workout that you need to do each week, but you can do it on your own time. You can do it on your own pace. So you get five brand new workouts every single Saturday, released at 12 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. So on the workout schedule, we have lower body. We have upper body cardio and core shoulders and glutes and full body. Now in this workout, you can adjust your fitness level for every single workout, giving you alternatives based on what you need. So if that's a low impact, I always give low impact alternate movements. If jumping is not in the books, in the cards for you that day, I also give you bodyweight exercises, give you cable movements.
If you don't have cables or resistance bands, I give you a dumbbell alternative or a bodyweight alternative. There are video demonstrations for every single workout and every single exercise, I should say, so that you are able to perform each exercise with confidence. And you can also easily track your progress, which I personally love this aspect of the workout app movement with Julie simply because it's really important that you track yourself and you track your progress when you are on this journey, because often times you might forget what you were lifting for a specific movement, but if you have it tracked, if you have it saved in your history, you're kind of able to see and celebrate those wins from week to week or month to month. As you are growing and as you were getting stronger and going up in weight or maybe going up in reps or whatever it is, you are easily able to track your progress that way. And then lastly, you have the accountability and support, if you like. I know some people, they don't need that. Other people love to have the accountability and support. It's solely up to you. You can press in as much as you like or not at all. And that's another kind of just pro of go at your own pace is that you're able to do what you feel like would work best for you and what is going to serve you best in the season. So if you are interested in that, I actually have a sale going on for brand new subscribers, so you get 50% off your first month. So usually it's $20 a month. You get five brand new workouts every single week. The other thing that I wanted to mention is every single day you have two workout options, so you have a full workout which will take you anywhere from 45 to 55 minutes.
And you also have a 30 minute variation which will take you anywhere from 20 to 32 minutes to complete. So depending on your time constraints, there is a workout there for you. If you want to try it out, it is ten bucks for your first month and then after that 20 bucks a month for five brand new workouts every single week released to you. So it's very, very affordable and all you need is your body weight. A few pair of dumbbells. Like I mentioned, if you could have a light pair and a medium to heavy pair, a small space and a phone, that is truly all that you need. If you want to learn more, you can have a head over to sale that's Sally dot movement with Julie dot com to learn more and join us. I would absolutely love to train alongside of you. I personally do every single one of these workouts and this is truly what brings me most joy is that I know I have thousands of women from all over the literal world doing the same workouts at me, even though it may not be at the same time. I know that we're getting them done and dusted together and that is just so fun for me. So I will link that in the show notes below or you can go to a sale. That's Sally Julie dot com. I hope that this episode gave you some good insight again if go at your own pace is not for you, totally fine. I think that instructor led workouts can be great options for you to honor your body with movement, and it can be a great way to build community and also keep you accountable. So you got to find out what works best for you.
That's the beauty of this life is that we are all different and we are all in different paths and all in different journey. So really happy that I was able to lay those out for you.
