Unlike summer camps, boot camps won't require you to put on a fund-raising talent show to stop a nefarious computer company from turning Lake Cowabunga into its new industrial-waste depository. Team up to fight unfitness with today's deal: for $49, you get four weeks of unlimited boot-camp classes plus a nutrition plan and an extra week for no additional charge (up to a $197 value) from Dallas Fit Body Boot Camp. Redeem your Groupon at any of three Dallas-area locations: Sole Roll Indoor Soccer on McEwen Road, Power Play Fitness Training Studio on Campbell Road, or at the Next Step Dance Performing Arts Center in Frisco.

With more than 20 years of fitness experience, owner Darren Clark has developed an efficient boot-camp program that effectively cultivates muscle farms with a fruitful yield. Expert instructors lead new recruits through 45-minute to one-hour classes that fluidly meld stretching, core-toning, and strength-boosting exercises into full-body fat-blasting sessions. Motivated groups help propel fitness-seekers throughout high-intensity interval training that sheds calories and stress faster than a robo-lion’s rise to the top of the food chain. The proprietary nutrition plan will help feed muscles and restore energy, and a convenient, fully loaded schedule will leave busy boot campers with enough time to maintain their normal lives, regular routines, and Chia Pet collections.

The Frisco boot camp ($122 value) at Next Step Dance features sessions on Wednesday and Friday from 10:15 a.m. to 11 a.m., and the other two boot camps ($197 value) assemble for one-hour classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6 a.m., 7 a.m., or 8 a.m. at the Sole Roll Indoor Soccer facility, or Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at Power Play Fitness Training Studio at 6 a.m. and on Saturday at 8:30 a.m. Indoor facilities at all the locations ensure visitors will get a workout regardless of rain, summertime snow, or locust swarms (though the Power Play Fitness Training Studio location does go outside for sessions).

Working out with others provides motivation to push oneself harder, helps with sticking to a regimen, and offers the opportunity to bond with new friends over tales of general sweatiness. With today's Groupon, fitness fanatics can shed pounds in a motivational atmosphere, leaving them looking fit and glistening like a zoot suit crafted from fish scales.
