WORK IT
Starting a summer workout regimen can sometimes feel like a tumultuous, tedious journey — but you don't have to do it alone. To help locals stay active this season, Suffolk Downs is hosting free workout classes through September. Every Tuesday evening and Saturday morning, Blue Line Flex's curated list of instructors will host group classes ranging from vinyasa yoga to total body bootcamp to cardio dance groove.
Tuesdays, 6 p.m. Saturdays, 10 a.m. Registration required. 10 Suffolk Downs Boulevard, Revere.
THE FIRST PUNCH
For those who weren't placed in karate, taekwondo, or another martial arts course as a child, the joy of climbing the mastery ranks is unknown, but not unachievable. Every Tuesday and Wednesday, Villari's Martial Arts Center offers a free first class for adults, introducing techniques and the culture of the studio.
Tuesdays and Wednesdays, time varies. 54 Union Square, Somerville.
YOUNG VOICES
As the school year comes to an end, Boston's K-5 population will go head-to-head with its biggest nemesis: boredom. Luckily, the city is full of free cultural programming to keep growing minds engaged and occupied. This week, the Boston Children's Chorus, a community choir frequented by over 700 students, will showcase its talent with a final 'Big Sing' performance at the Strand Theatre. Tickets are free, but the performance is priceless.
June 10, doors at 11:45 a.m. 543 Columbia Road.

June 14, 2-6 p.m. Bow Market, 1 Bow Market Way, Somerville.
