Founded by a group of music- and cycling-loving friends in 2008, SyncStudio hosts open-level indoor biking, yoga, and strength-training classes in a hardwood-floored haven of health. The SyncCycling 101 workshop covers all aspects of indoor wheeling, including proper form and fitness-level appropriate adjustments to the SyncCycling signature workout, which takes place standing up on the bike for extra cardiovascular and muscle building benefit. The strength-training workshop uses the TRX suspension system, which uses a series of ropes and pulleys to chisel musculature while instructors provide advice on safe adjustments to difficult techniques. A series of three yoga workshops give budding yogis the opportunity to delve deep into the ancient practice, learning fundamental postures, the history of yoga, and how to build a routine suited to individual needs and extra limbs. Students of all workshops should arrive in appropriate exercise gear and be prepared to work up a light to moderate lather. Regularly scheduled yoga and cycling classes cater to the fun side of fitness, with offerings like Bike and Beer, resistance-focused Rock the Band class, and the ever-present option to workout in a clown wig.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: The Ultimate Snowman
Any fool with a pair of mittens can construct a passable facsimile of a human out of powdered frozen vapor, but it takes a true Picasso of precipitation to create a frosty masterwork. Follow these tips to create a snow sculpture that will endure forever, unless the temperature rises even slightly:
• Stack ‘em High: While traditional snowmen are comprised of three snowy spheroids stacked in ascending size for a more stable base and welcoming maternal curves, there’s no reason to stop there. Continue adding snowballs until your snowman is a gently tapering caterpillar towering gingerly into lower orbit—then decorate its face using a remote-controlled helicopter.
• Don’t Mess with a Classic: Carrot noses were introduced in the 1600s to ridicule Guy Fawkes, a famous waster of then-precious vegetables. Keep his legacy alive today by shoving a carrot into your snowman’s face. If unavailable due to rabbit plagues or juicing fads, just steal a traffic cone from your nearest miniature village.
• Attain Anatomical Accuracy: Keep your snowman’s proportions frighteningly human by having a friend volunteer to act as an armature for you to pack snow onto. He belongs to winter now.
