These days, many of us need to tighten our purse strings and one of the first things to go is often gym memberships. Gym memberships are expensive and can feel like a luxury when other costs are more pressing. However, that doesn’t mean you have to give up on fitness altogether. Here are a few of our favorite ways to get fit for free.
Take up Running
Running or jogging doesn’t cost anything and gets you outside. If you struggle to find motivation to go for a run by yourself, join a local running group, enlist a running buddy, or listen to inspirational running podcasts.
Make Use of Outdoor Gyms
Many cities have outdoor gyms that are completely free to use. You might have to change up your routine a little because the equipment will be a bit different from what you’re used to, however, these public spaces are fantastic free fitness resources.
Work Out With YouTube Videos
YouTube is a treasure trove of free workout videos. Whether you’re keen to try yoga, Pilates, circuit training or barre, there’s a YouTube video waiting.
Find Free Trials
Many gyms, swimming pools, and fitness classes offer free trials. Research free trials in your area and try out new and fun fitness activities. You can always sign up for more once you’re feeling financially stable!
