Going to the gym is the advice most of us would get if we asked our #fitspo friends for tips on keeping fit.
But if you’re not a seasoned gym-goer, heading to the gym can feel a little intimidating as you might feel self-conscious and unsure of how to use the equipment.
Luckily, getting in shape doesn’t necessarily mean having to use fancy machines. It could be as fun and simple as these 15 free classes which are taking place this November!
