Difference between Community and Groups on ErgZone.

On ErgZone, Communities and Groups work the same, with a few exceptions:

• Only ErgZone+ members can create a community
• Only ErgZone+ members can join a community
• The community's owner is not responsible for covering the cost of each member's access.

Note: as the name suggests, communities are groups created by the community to share workouts with friends, their coaches, and other athletes. 

Groups hosted by coaches, clubs, and studios are NOT communities. Some groups require a monthly entry fee, which is not included on ErgZone+.
