Without a variable workout, exercise quickly becomes nothing more than a Sisyphean routine of lifting boulders, running up hills, and running away from sudden boulder avalanches. Roll out new maneuvers with today's Groupon: for $24, you get three group classes at HEAT - Highly Effective Athletic Training (a $54 value). Click here to see the class schedule.
Led by a staff of instructors that includes a NASM-certified personal trainer, a three-time Ironman competitor, and former professional athletes, HEAT's group classes push patrons to new fitness plateaus with sweat-spurring routines featured on ABC11 News. Inspired by Navy SEAL workouts, Tread & Shred TRX Treadmill Interval Training pits guests against their own bodyweight as they dangle from suspension cords or web-shooters brought from home. Short stints on neighboring treadmills provide a cardio kick-start between exercises. Alternately, RealCycle classes perch participants aboard a RealRyder stationary bike, which banks from side to side to test little-used muscle groups and dislodge piggybacking wolverines. Visitors can also slide into high, low, and middle tiers of activity during HEAT's signature workout, which breaks up strength-building floor routines and resistance training with treadmill intervals. All classes take place betwixt exposed-brick walls in HEAT's loft-like space, festooned with eclectic artwork and Christmas cards signed by Arnold
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Keeping Your Resolution
Your New Year's resolution likely falls into one of the following four categories: health, fitness, beast taming, or relationships. No matter what your resolution is, stick to it like a bee trapped in its own honey with these resolution-keeping tips:
Imagine Success: There's no room for failure! Even imagining defeat will cause your digestive organs to acclimate to the dewy, rancid taste of failure.
Imagine Failure: Just to see how bad it feels.
Start Slow: It's not reasonable to quit smoking cold turkey, stop not-exercising cold turkey, or give up eating all that cold turkey from Thanksgiving cold turkey. The first step toward fulfilling your resolution is to dream about it consecutively for seven nights.
Never, Ever Stop: Quitting is easy, but lasting success comes from perseverance.
Wait Till Next Year: By 2013, they'll probably have invented a pill that solves your problems for you.
