Many exercises only become effective after many repetitions, such as weight lifting, pushups, and walking to the refrigerator to retrieve bacon pudding. Increase porkless reps with today's Groupon to The Training Zone in Englewood Cliffs. Choose between the following options:

• For $37, you get one week of unlimited one-hour group-training sessions (a $107 value).

Each of The Training Zone's five instructors wields 10 or more years of physique-honing experience to motivate clients in custom personal- or group-fitness-training sessions. After they assess each client's fitness level and nutritional habits in an initial consultation, trainers push pupils in one-on-one sessions to challenge themselves with fast-paced 30-minute exercise routines and arm-wrestling matches with the local yeti. Alternatively, clients can sweat alongside a sympathetic cadre of four teammates during 60-minute boot-camp-style group sessions. Granting entrance only to those who make appointments, the gym minimizes crowds, ensuring efficient calorie burning with no long waits to use equipment or rehydrate at the chocolate fountain.

The Training Zone's workout floor welcomes clients with large windows, clean carpeting, and long mirrors that reflect an extensive supply of training equipment. In addition, clients enjoy private changing quarters and clean showers, as well as secure lockers that blast inspirational training-montage music when opened.
