The free classes range from Pilates and Zumba to yoga and tai chi. There’s also a Tuesday evening social run and Orangetheory Fitness classes (both at Gallagher Way in Lakeview).
Bonus: The November Project, a free fitness group, hosts sessions at 6 a.m. Fridays at Cloud Gate (aka the Bean) in Millennium Park and at 6:18 a.m. Wednesdays at rotating locations. Check the group’s Facebook page for details.
