Developed by tae kwon do expert Lance Farrell, Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping sessions strive to carve physiques into firmer, svelter figures by combining compassionate coaching and intense workouts. Certified instructors lead FitStart sessions at locally owned franchises, rallying up to 30 participants per class. The program gears its regimen toward fitness beginners with low-impact moves that will not wear down joints and prompt sit-in protests from angry kneecaps. Throughout the courses, attendees aim kickboxing jabs at the open air or punching bags, engaging entire bodies in a heartbeat-boosting spree. Anaerobic bands stretch between limbs as clients perfect strength-training maneuvers, and a nutrition plan schedules six well-balanced meals a day. The included boxing gloves and hand wraps equip students for robust blows, and a training manual details techniques and intimidating one-liners for threatening punching bags with bad attitudes. At the end of their program, patrons can flaunt sleek yet fortified figures and may win the $1,000 prize that goes to a lucky graduate at each location.

Farrell’s eXtreme Bodyshaping

Lance Farrell drew from his extensive background in tae kwon do to take down opponents in the ring for many years before he realized he could use his powers to help others combat obesity and health issues. He developed Farrell’s eXtreme Bodyshaping to provide patrons of all fitness levels with a comfortable place in which to undergo a mental and physical transformation, much like a crushed-velvet cocoon. He stripped away the sparring and contact drills from his fighter training, leaving just the components that burn fat and build muscle.

When students sign up for a program, they're grouped into teams of peers who encourage one another through moments of weakness and provide a sense of accountability. The instructors and coaches guide these teams toward fitness on a 10-week quest based on four pillars—cardiovascular exercise to burn fat, strength training to build muscle, nutrition coaching to map out a healthy diet, and enthusiastic trainers to provide motivation.

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: Chivalry

As once-common social etiquette dissolves into a modern quagmire of askew baseball caps and satirical raps, gentlepeople of all genders and creeds are reviving acts of chivalry once feared extinct:

  • Pulling out a guest’s chair
  • Pulling out a guest’s hair (if they so request)
  • Leaving the house with dozens of expensive overcoats to lay across the innumerable puddles sure to be encountered on even a slightly rainy day
  • Offering your handkerchief to a sick king
  • Excusing yourself from the table if you need to say a swear
  • Proposing marriage before being brazen enough to ask someone their name
  • Accidentally holding a door for a long enough string of consecutive people that the manager of the establishment yells at you when you try to stop because he can’t remember a time when you haven’t been standing there
  • Cosmetic application of tuberculosis
  • Taking your hat off for an hour every time a king dies

Do gentlemen still lay their overcoats over puddles?
