With new Covid-19 regulations prohibiting high-intensity workouts at indoor fitness classes, gyms and studios, it’s back to home workouts for many of us. (Rice bag squats, anyone?)
But if you can’t give up those in-person classes with a coach, or simply just want a change of scenery you’re in luck — more studios have been modifying their curriculum for outdoor settings.
Here are some fun classes below $20 per session that will keep you moving without breaking the bank.
While Aurora Spin Studio is popular for their dark rooms and strobe lights, you won’t be able to enjoy these for a while due to the current restrictions.
However, this doesn’t mean that a spin session with them is out of the question as they will be holding their classes outdoors instead at their South Beach Quarter studio.
These classes are priced at $20 for a single lesson.

Classes will be conducted on weekends and each session costs $20.
