We know. It feels like summer is slipping away from us. Proof: Our Fall Preview issue hits stands this week. But there's still time to take advantage of some summer offerings, like these free fitness classes taking place throughout the city. And lucky for us, many of them will last past Labor Day. Who needs a gym membership when you can workout for free?
