If a bodybuilder flexes in a forest and no one sees it, does he have a Buddha nature or not? Probe this and other riddles of fitness with today’s Groupon: $59 gets you a fitness evaluation, two personal training sessions, and one drop-in yoga class at ZenRock Fitness in Redmond, a $300 value.

The personalized training you’ll get in these sessions is an integral part of ZenRock’s philosophy of fitness. The one-on-one sessions occur in game-changing training rooms, where a fitness mentor will tailor programs to your specific lifestyle, goals, and iPod playlist. With the help of these good-natured experts, you will establish a workout and nutrition plan that will have you battling public-menace Spider-Man in no time. Individual classes can focus on a variety of methods and goals, including partner training, strength conditioning, flexibility, endurance, stress management, mind-body training, lifestyle counseling, and athletic objectives such as speed, agility, power, and windmill dunks.

Your drop-in yoga session will be rewarding, unintimidating, and effective. ZenRock believes that yoga should be no more strange or off-putting than yogurt, and equally focused on populating your intestines with friendly bacteria. Its yoga classes help students benefit from the core purpose of the activity: being present in the moment. Classes are available for all levels and maintain enrollment at a comfortable 20 to 25, so rooms are never crowded or capable of fielding a complete football team. The beautiful facilities at ZenRock feature equipment in top condition, calming colors, and soothing designs, so you can contemplate nothingness while you trim up your hips.

ZenRock believes in the importance of a supportive community and views fitness as an art as well as a science. Its approach draws equally from Eastern philosophy, Western technology, Northern philology, and Southern technosophy. ZenRock’s private rooms and high-energy, one-on-one training aim to create a harmonizing, motivating atmosphere that will lead to long-term wellness and the peaceful, Zen-like construction of totally ripped abs. You may buy multiple Groupons as gifts, so strike your fitness gong and get a Groupon for your mail carrier too.
