I’ve heard so many excuses for why people don’t work out. A big one is that it can be expensive. Gym memberships, fancy yoga studios, Pilates, spin, and workout classes cost money. No more excuses! You don’t need any of that to workout. Your best free workout guide right here!
Spring is in the air and the weather is changing. Time to get yourself outside for a workout! Our handy Free Workout Guide will get you started. If you’re lucky enough to live in a climate that has mild winters, such as myself here in Los Angeles, then you can use the outside as your gym all the time. There are a ton of free parks in LA that have full on gym equipment. If you live on the westside of Los Angeles, there is a park on McLaughlin Avenue that has great outdoor gym equipment. Yes, that is right, gym equipment for you to workout with for free outside. There are plenty of other parks like this in Los Angeles, and all LA parks are free. All you have to do is get your bum to one of them and take advantage of the free equipment. If you don’t have something like this in your area, parks are still great to run around and take advantage of kid’s monkey bars. You can totally work on your pull-ups and abs on them. It’s all about being creative kids. That’s the first lesson of our free workout guide!
Big cities have a lot of options for working out. There are loads of classes, but also tons of free classes! Trying out a new studio is a great way to get a free workout, but in Los Angeles there are also a lot of people who teach classes on the beach or in parks. All you have to do is find them! A lot of times they simply ask that you pay what you can. I don’t recommend paying nothing, as that’s really not cool, but throw a few bucks into the pot and you’re good to go. Often the instructors are building up their fan base and a bit newer, but still just as awesome. If you live in Santa Monica, there are plenty of beach boot camps as well as yoga. If you live in Hollywood, there is yoga at the base of Runyon Canyon. You just have to take advantage of it!

I’m a big fan of making anywhere my gym! I used to run the stairs in my apartment complex. They are the back stairs, so I wasn’t bothering anyone by running them, but you can totally do this on any stairs. In Los Angeles there are the infamous Santa Monica stairs and those bad boys are intense! Any high school that has a stadium is perfect for you to go and run the stadium stairs. It’s super intense and you’ll get a great workout in. Anywhere is your gym!
