Strapped for cash since bills have gone up? Problem solved.

Free online exercise classes are one of the (few) slightly silver linings to have come out of the pandemic. When gyms shut amid various lockdowns, many PTs and studios took it as an opportunity to launch epic virtual coaching platforms, and they've only gotten bigger and better since. This is particularly good news right now, when bills (energy, water, council tax—basically everything) have increased.

Plus, in a study by Run Repeat, 46% of you said you wouldn't be returning to the gym once they reopened post-Covid.

Without further ado then, here are the best free online exercise class trials to help you achieve your goals, from weight training and HIIT to dance and yoga.
