Since the rise of the Internet, people have struggled to tear their now-useless phone books in half. Bulk up to succeed where others have failed with today’s Groupon: for $49, you get a one-month membership (a $24.95 value), including the initiation fee (a $35 value) and four 30-minute personal-training sessions (a $35 value/session) at Fitness 24 in Greer (a $199.95 total value).

Fitness 24 keeps its doors open to gym-goers at all hours of the day and night, providing convenient cardio and weightlifting opportunities overseen by an experienced team of body-bolstering trainers. Biceps bulge as their owners challenge Magnum and Nautilus weight equipment to arm-wrestling matches, and lung capacity increases and hearts get pumping with the help of Star Trac and Vision Fitness cardiovascular machines. For close, individualized torso-toning, a seasoned staff of expert trainers carefully conditions clients during 30-minute training sessions. The gym's locker rooms, equipped with showers and complimentary towel service, provide a clean, convenient space to transfer from toreador costumes to workout garb and vice versa.
