What You'll Get
Ancient Greeks maintained their strength by wrestling, running marathons, and learning to throw Socrates' marble bust in a perfect spiral. Enjoy a more modern spin on conditioning with today's Groupon: for $199, you get a six-week boot camp (a $329 value), one hour of personal training (a $75 value), and a group fitness class (a $20 value) at Body and Soul Core Fitness in Cedar Grove (a $424 total value).
Physique chiseling endeavors triumph in Body and Soul's colorful 8,000-square-foot facilities. The gym's boot-camp classes alternate between high-intensity cardio training and muscle conditioning, emphasizing a workout that constantly changes like Richard Simmons viewed through a kaleidoscope. Torch up to 600 calories per session by jumping rope, performing boxing drills, and lifting weights five times a week May–October or three times a week November–April. The courses are held outdoors when weather permits, giving budding buffs an infusion of fresh air and the opportunity to arm-wrestle Mother Nature.
A certified fitness expert pairs patrons with a workout plan based on individual health history and lifestyle in a one-hour personal-training session. The gym's schedule overflows with Zumba, kickboxing, and spinning classes that give fitness buffs an opportunity to improve well-being and learn the rules of the stationary road. Though not included in this Groupon, childcare ($3/child) is also available.
