Frugal Family: Getting Fit on a Dime

With free and bargain-priced activities for children, students, adults and seniors, everyone can get fit.

San Leandro’s local gyms and businesses have deals on memberships and classes that will help you stay fit while having fun. So whether you prefer team sports, working out on your own, or taking fitness classes, there is something for everyone.
