Affordable Fitness Classes Near Your Office For A Quick Workout

“How do you keep fit while holding a corporate job?”

Being a recent graduate, I’ve asked this question to many of my working friends.

While some offices might have office workouts or discount passes to fitness centres…

Not all of us have the luxury of working out in the office, and for us working adults, there’s always a need for a release after a long sluggish day of work.

While gym passes may be cheaper than your average fitness class, planning your workout or exercising alone aren’t the most appealing after-work activities.

So for the times when motivation wanes, here is a compiled list of affordable fitness classes near your office for you to check out!
