With all the summer festivals, new restaurants, and bars to try out, sometimes it’s difficult for a Montrealer to squeeze in a workout (all while soaking up some sun). Kill two birds with one stone and get your tan and fitness on simultaneously on your lunch hour or after work by doing one of the many outdoor workout classes our city offers.

Here is a taste of some of the awesome drop-in outdoor fitness classes offered in the greater Montreal area.
