After a summer packed with free fitness, unfreezing your gym membership and ponying up for full-price class packs can be rough. Luckily, four local gyms and studios are here to ease the transition.

Healthworks, Republic Fitness, Barre & Soul, and the Dance Complex all have October open houses coming up, and, believe us, they are gold mines of free fitness. Here’s what you can expect.
