As much as we love a good workout, it can be hard to find time for a sweat session or try to do it on your own. Fitness apps and other virtual options offer the flexibility to squeeze in a workout of your choice, almost anytime and anywhere–i.e., workouts to do at home! On-demand classes are almost like having a personal trainer at your fingertips. No matter how you prefer to get your heart pumping, there’s an option that works for you! Here are some of our current favorites (some are even free!)—offering classes like HIIT, running, cycling, yoga, and more—that will erase that “I can’t go to the gym” excuse. It’s time to get moving–on your terms, of course. 

These workout studios are now offering free ways to get your sweat on:
