Modern pole-based exercise is more effective than 1920s pole sitting, less risky than pole-vaulting, and more sensual than polenta. Unleash your inner exhibitionist with today's Groupon: for $25, you get a five-class punch card at Aradia Fitness (a $50 value).

Aradia Fitness provides a welcoming, supportive environment for women of every age and fitness level to explore their sexy side while simultaneously subjecting all sides to a mélange of total-body cardio workouts. Pole Dancing and Sensual Movement classes, such as Poleflow and Lapdance Teaser, have foundations in ballet, yoga, and striptease (though students won't be shedding any leotards or turtlenecks in class). Slinky muscles stand at attention in Aradia’s Booty Camp class, and Zumba adds musical flavour as well as core strength, muscle toning, and increased flexibility. As the seductress embedded deep within makes her way to the surface, you'll engage rarely used muscles, sometimes resulting in day-after pangs of soreness, sudden Facebook friending of said muscles, and a confident new saunter. Participants need only gym- or yoga-like attire and bare feet to make their first firm step toward becoming music-video vixens or reverse-firefighters.
