Choose from Three Options

  • $25 for three gym visits (up to a $93 value)
  • $59 for three gym visits and a one-hour massage (up to a $186 value)
  • $115 for three gym visits and three one-hour massages (up to a $372 value)

Instructors outfit students with all necessary rock-climbing gear (a $6 value) and conduct on-the-ground orientations (a $10 value) before leading the charge up faux mountains in one-hour group climbing classes. Alternatively, students may also use their visits to take fitness classes including yoga, Zumba, kickboxing, or tai chi. Students are allowed full use of the facilities after each class, unlocking access to climbing walls, workout equipment, showers, and saunas. Students can also ease post-workout aches with massages that range from gentle to vigorous.

Bridges Rock Gym

A chalky hand swings over the top of the wall, grasping onto the red hold embedded in its surface. After a tense moment, a second hand swings up, pulling the rest of the climber’s body up with it. Having successfully scaled 18-foot top-out boulder, the climber scurries back down the wall she has just conquered, swapping places with her spotter below.

This cycle repeats throughout the day at Bridges Rock Gym, spurred on by a crew of climbing enthusiasts and instructors who initiate people into the low-altitude sport of bouldering. That form of climbing emphasizes solving climbing problems and chasing archaeologists through ancient caves. The gym unleashes visitors’ inner mountain goats with their well-maintained climbing facilities, including an overhanging indoor-climbing cave that thoroughly punishes muscles into growth and top-rope climbing walls that help beginners get the hang of scaling the crag.

While specializing in the art of ascents, Bridges also bolsters patron fitness. Yoga and fitness classes, as well as a fleet of cardio equipment, facilitate heart-strengthening workouts. Waves of free WiFi allow mountaineers uninterrupted access to videos of their pet rocks, best enjoyed with a grilled sandwich or all-fruit smoothie in gym's organic café and lounge.

The Groupon Guide to: Living with a Secret

Rarely does a soul get off this planet without seeing or doing a truly terrible thing. Keep it to yourself with these helpful secret-concealing tips:

  • Talk loudly and constantly about everything except the hidden shame that gnaws at your insides like a thousand tiny, chittering bear traps.
  • Distract yourself with activities and spectacles, all the while never addressing the private nightmare that coils around your heart, ever tightening like a boa constrictor suffocating its prey.
  • Try meditation and yoga to silence the warped and twisted version of your own voice that howls behind your eardrums, begging, pleading at every moment to be released by the decency and dignity of confession.
  • Get a pet. Tell them everything. Make sure it is a pet that no one will think twice about if you keep it forever in a cage, like a bird or a gecko. You're trapped in this together now.
  • Consult a doctor about having your mouth sealed over with a cool American-flag sticker—no one questions a patriot.

Why are more and more people having their mouths sealed shut?
