Boot camps are a quick way to get in shape for upcoming marathons or adrenaline-pumping prison escapes. Jump the fence with today's Groupon: for $30, you get 30 days of boot camp at Access Boot Camp (a $189 value). This Groupon is valid for redemption at Access Boot Camp's Vancouver locations at George Wainborn Park in Yaletown and at Kitsilano Beach Park (Arbutus Street and McNicoll Avenue, north of the basketball court). Access Boot Camp's Jericho Beach location is currently closed due to park maintenance, but upon the park's reopening, this Groupon will be valid for redemption there as well.

Access Boot Camp offers one-hour sweat sessions for all body types and fitness levels throughout the week, with classes starting every weekday at 6 a.m., 7 a.m., 5 p.m., and 6 p.m. During a 30-day membership, you can drop in on Access Boot Camp's fitness classes whenever you want, letting the camp's extensively trained trainers push and positively inspire you toward a state of unparallelled svelteness and anti-flabbery. The camp is founded on the principle of "muscle confusion"—during the aggressive guessing game, the camp's drill sergeants will use your instinctual distrust of routine to their advantage. They’ll keep your muscles guessing with new and challenging moves during each session, so you’ll never fall into a boring, ineffective routine, like regular teeth brushing. Small class sizes (fewer than 20 students per trainer) offer optimal personal attention for clients as they look to shed a few extra pounds while gaining the social weight of new friends.

A rigorous cardio routine, when paired with eating right and blowing all the glass for your home's windows yourself, is crucial to weight loss. Begin your slim-down in anticipation of your victory at next year's Nobel Peace Prize ceremony with 30 days of unlimited fitness boot-camp classes from Access Boot Camp.

This Groupon is valid for new clients only. Participants are advised to bring their own yoga mat and two- to five-pound hand weights and/or resistance bands.
