$39 for 10 CrossFit Classes ($100 Value)

One-hour CrossFit classes kick off with a warm-up and brief explanation of the day's workout. Students then push themselves through Olympic weightlifts, gymnastics maneuvers, and calisthenics before a stretch and cooldown session. Classes challenge participants to different levels of intensity in Basics, Level 1, and Level 2 divisions, though all exercises are scalable to accommodate varying skill levels.

Andres Schwartz, a US Navy SEAL veteran, casts a bemused gaze at a group of accountants, stay-at-home moms, and pharmaceutical reps as they scramble, sweat pouring into their eyes, over the military-style obstacle course that runs through his gym. He follows them to "The Beast"—an impossibly monstrous pull-up contraption where groups grapple with monkey bars, hoist themselves on rings, and shoulder weights at four squat racks. His unblinking gaze cants toward the ceiling watching a pupil's white-knuckled hand cling to the 12-foot climbing wall, before he turns toward the layered bars of "The Weaver"—a part of the obstacle course's outdoor component. He strolls, arms behind his back, over to a group whose neck tendons strain in unison as they heave against medicine balls, ropes, and kettlebells, the last step in the grueling circuit.

By amassing these functional training fixtures, Andres and his team of trainers prep guests to punch through life's everyday roadblocks. FTX stands for 'Final/Field Training Exercise', and makes up the drills that ensure military personnel are ready for an upcoming mission. FTX CrossFit, brings that concept to the gym, challenging exercisers to complete realistic, if somewhat exaggerated, physical challenges without cheating or cloning a stunt double. The gym's trainers demonstrate CrossFit's signature blend of gymnastics maneuvers, Olympic weightlifts, and bodyweight exercises during classes for both adults and children.

The Groupon Guide to: Office Supplies

Thanks to advancements in technology, the primitive "paperless" offices of the previous century have finally been replaced with bustling hubs of productivity where hard copies of everything are provided without you even needing to ask. Attack your documents efficiently with these must-have office supplies:

Stapler: Permanently affixes one document to another document or extra-important documents to the back of your blazer to make sure everyone sees them

Pencil Cup: Secures your pencils in one, reliable location so they don't roll off the desk and stab you in the shoe

Adhesive Tape: This will let your boss hang a few carefully chosen employee drawings of himself on the office fridge to let everyone know that, hey, he’s in on the joke.

Liquid Paper: A dangerous future drug introduced in the 1997 science fiction film Cyber Streets. To quote from one of the film's characters, Roxy Bitmap, "They say there's nothing like it, man—it feels like your whole brain is an electric marshmallow."

An Office Chair: Wheels … on a chair? Now you've seen everything, and in the fast-paced world of office life, you will see everything. Good luck, rookie.

What common office supply can change your entire outlook on life?
