In addition to physical benefits, exercise inspires a brief endorphin rush on par with staring down a grizzly bear or jumping a dirt bike over Evel Knievel. Keep minds and bodies alert with today's Groupon: for $49, you get an exercise package at Snap Fitness (up to a $258.85 value), with area locations in Depew, Derby, East Aurora, Orchard Park, and Jamestown. The package includes the following:
- easyFIT fitness monitor (up to a $99 value) with shipping (up to a $9.95 value). The monitor can be used without a Snap Fitness membership.
- 30-day gym membership (a $39.95 value)
- Fitness assessment with personal trainer (a $100 value)
- Seven-day guest pass for a friend (a $9.95 value)
Snap Fitness's easyFIT monitor is a small, clip-on accelerometer that helps keep track of daily exercise. Unlike pedometers that merely measure steps and spy on daydreams, the easyFIT monitor senses the intensity and duration of physical activity, transmogrifying those stats into simple, numerical points that help assess activity levels from sedentary to peak performance. In addition to tracking exercise in real time, easyFIT monitors can connect to the wearer's personal web portal to upload data and create fitness graphs that help show progress, snag exercise suggestions, and stave off the temptation of living next to a hamburger farm.

During a 30-minute fitness assessment, a certified personal trainer helps members evaluate their strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health before etching a 60-day fitness plan into their favorite dumbbell. Snap Fitness's around-the-clock gyms enable members to work on physical well-being with a cornucopia of equipment. With optional 24-hour access, members don't have to let The Man or a random street man tell them when to help themselves to Snap's strength equipment or top-of-the-line, TV-equipped cardio equipment. Members also enjoy nationwide access to all Snap Fitness locations, ideal for working out while traveling or along the course of an ultra-ultramarathon.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Siblings
Because it's not polite to tell a child their age, many people don't know whether they are the eldest, middle, or youngest sibling in the family. Take this quiz to find out which one you might be:
Your favorite way to influence the future is by:
a. Organizing your son's social studies binder
b. Deconstructing Lego cities built by children to teach them to doubt the establishment
c. Chewing!
Your workout routine involves:
a. Bench-pressing smaller humans
b. Contemplating
c. Running on a metal wheel!
It's dinnertime. You take your place:
a. At the head of the table. Everyone in the family will be excited to hear you regale them with the story of how you won today.
b. In your bedroom. Watching your family members chew makes you sick.
c. In the food bowl! Hopefully you'll be able to pick out some of those delicious sunflower seeds!
If you could redecorate your home you would:
a. Expand. You need a home for all your cars and a garage for all your children. Oops! Other way around.
b. Burn the thing down
c. Add more tubes!
Answer key: If you picked mostly As: You're the eldest sibling, congratulations! Your assertive type A personality makes you a leader in the family and a difficult person to watch television with.
If you picked mostly Bs: You're the middle sibling. You're artistic, emotional, and immune to romantic comedy.
If you picked mostly Cs: Your name is Oreo, you're the fifth child in a litter of 14, and everyone here just wants you to come home.
