So free lunches may not exist (unless the boss is paying), but free and almost free events sure do. Whether it means taking your yoga mat to the local park for a sun salutation or running through the streets with a dedicated group, we’ll show you how to get the best workout without making your finances sweat…

Lane Swimming at Regent Park Aquatic Centre

Urban Edge Outdoor Fitness Classes
