4 ways to train without spending a lot (or even for free!) –

Keeping the balance pointer balanced is a concern that goes far beyond just feeling beautiful in the mirror. It’s a health issue. Despite your willingness to find a modality to call your own, are you running into the problem of lack of money? We show you that it’s possible to burn a lot of calories, meet cool groups and trainers, and even join big gyms without breaking the bank:

1. Join fitness groups
The so-called crews have been gaining strength in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. They are groups formed on social networks that combine a date and place to practice exercises together, without paying absolutely anything. This is the case of Espaço Pura Vida, in Rio de Janeiro, which brings together runners of all profiles. “We set a meeting point and the course of the race is a surprise. But always with a democratic distance that allows everyone to conclude calmly, even those who have never run”, says Pedro Pires, ultramarathon runner and creator of the crew.

Another cool tip is Casa Air Max. Located on Avenida Paulista, in the heart of São Paulo, the venue was created by Nike which, every weekend, will organize running groups and functional training. Want more tips? In the main parks of the city there are always free collective classes. You can also participate in the training sessions: just keep an eye on our social networks to find out how to sign up for upcoming events.

2. Look for promotions site
Some group buying sites such as Groupon and Peixe Urbano offer promotions for gyms and fitness studios. It is necessary to be quick when painting these opportunities (subscribe to receive notifications in your email), as normally the offer has a limited number of vouchers or duration. Or, you can search for the nearest gyms through the gympass website, which shows photos and values ​​for monthly and single plans. To know the plan Gympass (R$ 269.90) and find out where you can go, visit https://promo.gympass.com//.

3. Keep an eye on commemorative dates
Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Black Friday are some occasions when gyms usually do promotions. But generally, it’s during autumn and winter that prices drop – a great time to negotiate a package. In addition, some places reduce the monthly fee even more or waive some fees if you bring a friend to work out with you. Thus, one helps the other (in fitness and in the economy).

4. Be your own coach
With the diversity of applications available, it is possible to work out without the need for a flesh-and-blood personal trainer. Some of these programs are very interactive, including step-by-step videos of the exercises and online consultations with real professionals on the other side of the screen.
