You're making me ponder whether it's time to get back in some type of group fitness environment. Enjoyment is really one of the keys to fitness.
I have found over the past 16 years (I started focusing on fitness at 50 years old and 230 lbs) there are 2 things that keep me active and staying fit.

1. The fitness activity is something enjoyable
2. Achievable goals that are specific and measurable.

I don't do the Gym thing, but the social aspect of that can certainly be enjoyable for some. For me I ride my bike and I get both social and physical benefit. At 66 and 180 lbs, I'm in better shape than I was at 50 and still doing ultra-distance races. I do some weights at home sometimes too, but it's sporadic because...... I don't enjoy it!
