A strong man wrestles you to the ground to show off; a stronger man boosts your self-esteem and then accidentally breaks three of your ribs with a supportive hug. Learn the tenets of both strength and community with today's Groupon: for $35, you get one month of unlimited boot-camp classes at Maximus Health and Wellness Training on Palumbo Drive (a $197 value).

Maximus Health and Wellness Training's boot-camp classes focus on building a strong foundation of bodily health through personalized training systems. The tailored approach allows advanced athletes to work alongside beginners, preserving the camaraderie of a group environment while preventing uneven teeter-totter muscle matchups. The 45- to 60-minute boot-camp sessions begin with an extensive warm-up followed by strength training and conditioning segments designed to build. No matter what your skill level or personal goals, the boot-camp sessions help members improve athletic performance and mobility, decrease body fat, increase muscle mass, and improve muscle tone; they also improve sleep quality, mood, and mood-ring performance. Before beginning a boot-camp regimen, instructors recommend that members attend a preboot-camp orientation, held Saturdays at 1 p.m., to get a feel for the classes and help set fitness goals.
