It is true that taking a group fitness class or cycling with others motivates many individuals to continue exercising. If you are exercising with your friends or family, you are more likely to continue exercising than if you were doing it on your own. If you are alone, sometimes you may not want to go there and train, but if you have someone going with you, then it is a combined activity where you can spend quality time with the people you know, as well as get in shape.
