The encouraging coaches at Northwest Personal Training and Northwest Women’s Fitness Club build healthy bodies with fitness routines and a style developed by Sherri McMillan, the studios' award-winning CEO and the 2006 IDEA International Fitness Director of the Year. During 30-minute personal-training sessions, a fitness expert tailors an exercise plan to each client’s goals and designs workouts suitable for the home, the office, or the intermission between acts one and two of a play. Members eagerly return to the studio to practice creative routines that eschew repetitive squats or curls, and, along the way, they learn how to safely operate strength-training machines and hone their strides on treadmills and cardio equipment. Staffers welcome guests both by greeting them when they arrive and by keeping the facilities pristine throughout the day. At the women-only Portland location, customers who purchase the massage option may choose from a full-body tabletop treatment buoyed by relaxing strokes or a chair massage from either a licensed massage therapist or a loveseat with a PhD.
Though Northwest Personal Training and Northwest Women’s Fitness Club sometimes offer online discounts, today’s Groupon is still the best deal available.

The Groupon Guide to: the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop
People all over the world celebrate New Year's Eve by watching the ball drop in Times Square, and the ball itself has a come a long way from the papier-mâché wad engulfed in flames that rang in the new year back in 1904. Here's a look at today's cutting-edge ball:
Size: The ball is a scale model of earth, so its size changes every year to match the diminishing diameter of a planet slowly being trampled by its inhabitants.
Material: The ball is constructed from the finest Waterford crystal and held together by several hundred Pepsi stickers.
Contents: Traditionally, the ball is filled with:
• One animal from every species
• Children's letters to Santa
• All the extra money that the year's millionaires are tired of
• The oft-expunged choose-your-own-adventure Bible chapters
Speed: The ball is actually descending imperceptibly slowly throughout the entire year.
Reaction: As soon as the ball reaches its base, millions of people all over the world instantly begin weeping inconsolably in memory of the year that just died.
