If your body is still making a wheezing accordion sound from that time you got crushed by a falling anvil, today's deal will bend and stretch you back into shape. For $49, you get 10 drop-in mat Pilates classes (a $100 value) at Personal Best Pilates Studio in Overland Park. When you redeem your Groupon at Personal Best, you will receive a 10-class punch card to be used within 60 days. This Groupon is only valid for mat classes.

Personal Best offers a range of mat classes catering to people of all fitness and experience levels. Beginners will learn the fundamentals (such as "it's not pronounced 'pie-laits'") in Intro to Mat, which is also an excellent class for the recently injured or those seeking a gentler Pilates experience. The Mixed Level class welcomes non-beginner Pilaticians and operates at a medium level of difficulty. Veterans will get more of a challenge in Advanced Mat, or a technologically enhanced version in Props, which incorporates foam rollers, flex bands, FitBall, and other cyber-Pilatic implements.

The oldest (and largest) Pilates studio in Kansas City, Personal Best can also claim some of the most experienced instructors in the area. All of Personal Best's instructors are fully certified with more than 50 years of collective experience and can all say Pilates 20 times fast without giggling. These instructors remain committed to the many benefits of Pilates. The non-impact, balanced form of exercise focuses on simultaneously stretching and strengthening the body’s core muscles, giving you stronger muscles, better posture, increased flexibility, and a flatter stomach. Pilates can also decompress your spine and make you stand taller. There's no purchase limit, so buy as many of today's Groupon as you want and make yourself tall enough to fight Mecha King Ghidorah the next time it attacks Kansas City.
