Like trapeze artists, Pilates practitioners boast total-body balance and intense core strength bolstered by an ever-present fear of plummeting into a pool of hungry crocodiles. Scissor-kick your way out of danger with today’s Groupon: for $29, you get five fitness classes at Pilates Plus of Schaumburg (a $70 value). This Groupon is valid for any class priced as “MYD” on the center’s schedule.

Pilates Plus elongates figures and fortifies frames with a slew of mat, yoga, and dance classes led in a comforting, supporting environment. With a certified crew of instructors, stiff students can dabble in body-lengthening lessons, such as Pilates I, which teaches the program’s fundamentals of balance, flexibility, core strength, and two-by-four idolatry. For rhythm-enhanced exercise, Pilates Plus also offers dance-centric classes in Zumba, jazz, hip-hop, barre ballet, belly, and chair dancing, allowing the twinkle-toed to trim, tone, and tighten while meeting their groove quotient for the week.

A foil to body-pumping dance romps, spirit-centering Hatha yoga combines posture and poses with breath control for a powerful strength and cardio routine, and yoga Chikitsa utilizes a series of therapeutic poses performed in a fixed order—helpful for cleansing the mind and healing bodies suffering from compulsive shimmy syndrome.
