Instead, you’ll feel comfortable in a supportive environment of group solidarity.

Whether you spend your days sport-hunting in the Outback or sitting in a cubicle, your spine is the only thing that separates you from the spineless and sentient alien black oil.

After the exam, a 50-minute massage ($55) helps boost energy, reduce stress, and release endorphins to give you the surge of vitality needed to tackle the weekly grocery shopping.

When Ed Norice left the United States Navy in search of a new career, he found fresh enemies to battle domestically: obesity and heart disease. He started Impressive Fitness The Jungle to combat these illnesses and give his fellow citizens a path towards healthy lifestyles.

Norice and his two instructors, Aubree and Rodney, draw from a vast repertoire of exercise styles to wage their war. TRX resistance bands force the muscles of the body to work in concert and strengthen the body from head to toe. Martial-arts skills lend a practical edge to every workout, increasing endurance and arming students with basic self-defense techniques. Outside of group classes, the trio offers personal training and nutritional consultation to help prevent clients from making unhealthy choices in their diet, such as eating a whole birthday cake and then eating the cake’s candles.

The serene studio offers mat instruction in small class sizes to ensure students get individualized attention as they hone in on the mind-body approach to exercise and optimal wellness. With today's Groupon, you'll experience small-equipment mat classes led by one of the certified instructors—collectively sporting over 600 hours of training—who will in turn be your new pal and motivational lipo-melter. All classes last 55 minutes and utilize a variety of small equipment, including balls, magic-circle rings, 6-foot rollers, and resistance bands and weights, which place weakened putty muscles into a slender blender to create a strength smoothie. The dynamic sweat-session focuses on flattening abs and lengthening and increasing muscle tone.

As they enter the training circle at Curves, female guests come face-to-face with the smiles of other women. And just as points on a circle share a common distance from the circle's center, workout participants share the experiences of those nearby by trading stations throughout the 30-minute training session. One minute is spent on a piece of strength-training equipment built for feminine frames and designed to work two opposing muscle groups with a single movement. Exercisers then move on to a recovery station, where they run, jog, or dance to maintain heart rates and keep platforms in place during momentary losses of gravity.
