Sometimes it's good to work with an individual one on one, for example if there is a fault in technique that needs to be corrected or someone is learning something very new.
Why do I encourage group workouts?
I have found that working out in a group dramatically improves the workout experience! Sharing the experience with others makes it more fun! Let's face it....if it's fun we are more likely to look forward to our workouts. Group members cheer eachother on. Individuals work harder with someone right next to them working hard and I find everyone's times improve in a group workout versus an individual workout. People push themselves further if someone (other than me) is watching! I take a lot less breaks if someone is working out with me! We tend to give a little extra to the workout if we think we might be able to beat someone elses time. There is a bit of a competative streak in almost all of us even if we don't see ourselves as competative. Ultimately what really matters is that we improve our own times or lift more weight than we did before, but having someone by your side, doing the same thing as you are will help you meet that goal of beating your last time.
