Thanks to my friends at Retailmenot for these incredible resources.
A lot of us are stuck at home during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic and it’s super important now more than ever to stay healthy and fit.
Luckily there are a lot of businesses supporting us during this time and they are doing this by giving free access to their normally paid workout and fitness apps and services.
If you want to get in shape and maintain your health, there are plenty of fun and effective fitness classes that you can access online at no cost right now.
While a lot of these are free some may require you to sign up for a trial and some may require a credit card but you can cancel at any time before your trial ends to avoid getting charged.
If you sign up for any apps that require you to use a card then just make a note on your calendar to cancel before the trial ends.
