Personal trainers work personally with clients to help them reach their goals, unlike impersonal trainers, who pop in workout DVDs and tell their clients "Just Watch." Meet face-to-face with a friendly guide with today's Groupon: for $499, you get a four-week fitness program with coaching at Underdog Fitness. This Groupon is valid at the the gym's East 74th Street location and both of its locations on Broadway.
Underdog Fitness's ACE-certified personal trainer, Steve Oberfest, sweats alongside clients in intense, personalized workout programs that bolster muscle, trim fat, and tone torsos. Trainees meet with Steve twice a week for 60-minute sessions that combine body-resistance exercises with equipment use tailored to each person's fitness level. Oberfest specializes in kettlebell exercises, weights, and boxing, as well as welcomingly training the most out-of-shape individuals and giving his expert opinion on sweatband color choices. Dietary coaching, daily trainer check-ins, and home training for out-of-gym days keep clients motivated throughout the program's duration. Each session takes place in one of Underdog's private gyms to reduce fear of prying paparazzi or a walk-by towel snapping. Additionally, the Groupon customer who loses the largest percentage of body fat will receive $1,000 toward future personal-training sessions.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Getting Enough Sleep
Sleep—the smallest type of death—allows the body to recharge and gives nighttime burglars the opportunity to kiss your forehead as an apology for taking your things. Here’s a guide to getting the most out of your hours of rest:
Create a Sleep Pattern: The body needs regular, recognizable sleep patterns, such as sleeping for a half hour out of every hour, spending every other minute asleep, or only sleeping on your son’s birthday.
Minimize Distractions: Make sure your bedroom is dark and quiet before going to sleep. Every night, be sure to blow out the candles, turn off the radio, put a hood over the ambulance sirens, fire the sound-effects engineer, and lock the dog in your other family’s house.
Create a Comfortable Space: Every bed needs a nest of decorative pillows and warm, cozy blankets for the sleeper to apologize to and put on the floor before climbing onto their chiropractor-approved wooden sleeping pallet.
Prepare to Dream: Dreams are a way for your mind to put your parents' faces on different bodies without having to feel ashamed later. It’s important to give the mind plenty of fodder for dreams by looking at old photos and medical textbooks right before going to sleep.
Don’t Go to Bed Angry: This old adage reminds couples not to go to bed with a grudge against one another. As your spouse is falling asleep, whisper all of the things he or she did wrong that day into their ear, which could range from mispronouncing a foreign name to being bad at their chosen form of art. They will thank you for giving them something to work on tomorrow.
