The most invigorating workouts involve fresh outdoor air, sunlight, and the chance to finally escape condescending treadmills. Outrun adversaries with this Groupon.
$69 for Four Weeks of Unlimited Boot-Camp Sessions ($160 Value)
Students should arrive at least 10 minutes early toting mats, towels, dumbbells, and water from home before diving into total-body routines, which are conducted with a lighthearted sense of humor usually found only on I Love Lucy reruns. With rotating intervals of plyometrics, strength, and agility drills, each session is unique, staving off boredom and keeping muscle groups stimulated for enhanced strength building and fat burning. Groups converge six days a week regardless of rain, shine, or thundersnow, and schedules vary by location, though most spots host early-morning and evening sessions.
