Today’s Sweaty Groupon: 86% off Boot Camp

// August 30th, 2010 // Couponing, Money Matters

I’m the kind of girl who wants my workout to be a WORKOUT. None of this namby pamby business. If I’m going to go to all the effort of getting tired and sweaty, I want to feel like I’ve actually accomplished something. I don’t do the high reps with light weights thing for “toning” (which I think is just some fake girlie word for muscle building), I do low reps of weights so heavy I can barely lift them. Of course, I say all this with the disclaimer that I haven’t set foot in a gym or done anything resembling a workout since I got pregnant in February 2008. Because the only reason I work out is to not get fat, and when I got pregnant, I knew that no matter how hard I worked, I was going to get fat, so why bother? Also? Being pregnant is exhausting enough without trying to add actual physical exertion to the mix. And in the nearly two years since delivery . . . well, who’s got time?

Today’s Groupon could help with that. For only $35, you can get one month of unlimited boot camp sessions at Edmond Bootcamp. I’ve always wanted to try a boot camp workout. I think it would be truly torturous but would make me feel smug and morally superior upon completion. I could be all proud of myself as I soaked my aching muscles in a bathtub filled with Icy Hot.

Here’s what Groupon has to say about this offer:

A strong man wrestles you to the ground to show off; a stronger man boosts your self-esteem and then accidentally breaks three of your ribs with a supportive hug. Learn the tenets of both strength and community with today’s militantly muscled Groupon: for $35, you get one month of unlimited boot-camp sessions at Edmond Bootcamp (a $249 value).

Edmond Bootcamp offers one-hour sweat sessions throughout the week to fit nearly any schedule. During the month, you can drop in on fitness classes whenever you want to have the camp’s extensively trained trainers push and inspire you toward a state of anti-flabbery. The gym provides all necessary equipment including mats, towels, weights, and water. Although classes are sometimes held outside, most classes at Edmond Bootcamp take place in a large, air-conditioned indoor building, ensuring a safe haven from falling iPods.

In boot camp, the enemy is predictability. Each day, your instructors will throw down a fresh guerrilla ambush’s worth of challenges for your muscles and your brain, fueling constant gains and keeping you engaged. Over the course of the one-hour session, you may run, jump, lift weights, slam out push-ups and chin-ups, chase chickens, punch slabs of beef, and end with a live crocodile wrestle. In the heat of your workout, you’ll sweat out weakness, fear, and monosodium glutamate while beginning to gain the functional, unsurpassed strength of a body in fluid, powerful motion. Calling ahead to schedule is recommended.

You must be 15 years or older to redeem this Groupon.
