A good workout regimen provides the courage needed to march back into the office, take the clown nose off, and demand a smaller, funnier car. Fill oversized shoes with self-confidence with today's Groupon: for $20, you get a five-class pass at ZFit Studio (up to a $40 value) in Fenton.

ZFit Studios' committed instructors give women of all ages and fitness levels an opportunity to both sweat and feel sexy, spicying up stale exercise regimens with workouts derived from exotic dancing, as well as Zumba, tai chi, and yoga. Over the course of five weeks, the Chair Dance class builds strength and confidence through a combination of flirty routines and a chair that's trying to watch The Mentalist. The faster and more intense Tummy & Tush class focuses on toning abs and glutes. The equally sensual Lap Dance class feels both natural and empowering, like being bitten by a vegan spider. Besides giving you a teasing yet insistent way to let confused movie-goers know that they're sitting in your seat, you'll also tone and tighten your torso while boosting your flexibility. The vibe in each of these classes is welcoming and judgment-free, and requires not a single feather boa or stiletto heel.

More inhibited souls, however, will prefer to dance along the edge of their comfort zone with Zumba, which fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves into an energizing hour that can booty-shake away as many as 500–700 calories per session.

There are usually about 15–40 people per class, so peruse the class schedule. First-timers need to print out the waiver and registration forms found here before showing up a few minutes early to their classes. Some classes require students to bring items such as a mat or towel.
