What You'll Get
Exercise would be a doubly efficient venture if people could split into two halves and have both burn calories simultaneously by riding a tandem bike. Today's Groupon makes the most of physically feasible workouts: for $30, you get a 30-day membership and one personal-training session at any of four Sports Clubs locations (a $94 value).
Unlike shady sports scalpers, this deal gives you full and legitimate access to The Sports Clubs, including group fitness classes, all workout equipment, and locker-room amenities, as well as a one-on-one personal-training session. The Sports Clubs offers 20+ fitness classes with flexible schedules, including Yoga, Pilates, Yogalates, Salsa, Core Mania, and Cardio Jam. Try the nationally renowned Turbo Kick, an effective cardiovascular class that can burn up to 1,000 calories per hour while you kick and punch imaginary coworkers to a thinner waistline. If you’re training for the annual grocery-line dance off, sculpt and tone your body with Zumba, a fusion dance class that combines fast and slow Latin dance steps. Fitness beginners can use their personal-training session to kick start their 30 days with professional muscle knowledge and injury-prevention techniques, while professional boulder throwers can use theirs to target specific areas without endangering fellow gym rats with heavy projectiles.
The Sports Clubs locations' varied hours of operation can accommodate the busiest of schedules, whether you're an infomercial-addicted insomniac or ready to rise at the gluteus maximus of dawn. Take advantage of the Rio Rancho location, open 24 hours Monday through Thursday, and the early hours at all four locations to improve circulation, lose weight, and gain the strength of the Minotaur without the side effects of elective abdomen implants.
The $49 enrollment fee is waived for those that sign up for a full membership (any level) after their first month.
Reviews
Citysearchers give between 3- and 3.5-star averages to The Sports Clubs' four Albuquerque-area locations: Gold Avenue, Eubank Boulevard, 4th Street, and Rio Rancho.
- It has great equipment, always well maintained. They play good music. The staff is nice. I highly recommend this gym. – harley65, 4th Street location
- The Sports Clubs are not meat markets. Everyone is really friendly, but they are here to work-out, not occupy a piece of equipment while they socialize if you know what I mean! – phdmom3, Eubank Boulevard location
