Sweating by oneself in a gym or underground elliptical bunker can cause blinding rage or the common cold. Work out with pals in the sunshine during 60 days of unlimited bootcamp classes with Gut Check Fitness. With this Groupon, $45 gets you two months of unlimited classes ($200 value) and premium access to Gut Check’s online community ($20 value).
Gut Check is run by Joe Decker, who broke the Guinness World Records Physical Fitness Challenge Record in 2000 for completing 100 miles of cycling, 10 miles running, five miles of power walking, six miles kayaking, 10 miles hiking, two miles swimming, 3,000 abdominal crunches, 1,100 jumping jacks, 1,000 leg lifts, 1,100 push-ups, 10 miles on a rowing machine, 10 miles on a Nordic Track, plus 278,000 cumulative pounds of weight-lifting all at once and all in less than 24 hours. That means he's fit.
Decker’s workouts are full-body, muscle toning, fun agility exercises with heart-pumping workouts. The schedule includes classes at 6 a.m. in Torrey Hills Park or 5:15 p.m. at the Carmel Valley Rec Center with one of Gut Check's friendly, energetic trainers. They won't make you march in step, salute them, shave your head, or do pushups until your arms quake worse than San Francisco in 1906, but they will make you sweat buckets and challenge, tone, and trim your body. This Groupon includes access to Gut Check's online community, which means you get discounts on items at Gut Check's store, access to workout tips and the online vidoe archive, and direct access to Joe Decker and his community of athletes and trainers.

Need To Know Info
About Gut Check Fitness
Joe Decker isn’t your ordinary fitness trainer. He might just be the planet’s fittest human, at least according to Guinness World Records. He earned the title of World’s Fittest Man in 2000 after mastering a 24-hour challenge comprising a 100-mile bike ride, a 10-mile run, 1,100 pushups, and other exhausting feats. Today, his boot camp program, Gut Check Fitness, helps exercisers tackle goals that are just as lofty with outdoor workouts that have won accolades from TrailRunner magazine and the attention of Coca-Cola's fitness programs.
Each ever-changing workout leads participants into the great outdoors, where they discover the true meaning of “gut check,” a military term used to denote a test of courage, character, or determination. With the help of several talented trainers, Joe propels athletes through a gauntlet of fitness drills that torches dozens of calories and fortifies muscles throughout the body. The classes’ main piece of equipment is the earth, which provides hills for climbing, gravity for resistance, and solid ground for sprints and bodyweight exercises. In addition to basking in the trainers’ shouts of encouragement, the group cheers one another toward each milestone, fostering friendships while creating an ongoing incentive to achieve.
