Deal Of The Day

25-Day Membership to BodyBusiness

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

In today’s workplace, sleeveless, bicep-broadcasting business suits are an increasingly common sight, and deal-closing golf games are eschewed in favor of blood- and sweat-slicked cage matches. Get in shape for the upcoming merger of brawns and business smarts with today’s Groupon. For $25, new clients get a 25-day membership to BodyBusiness Health Club & Spa, a 25th-anniversary membership offered exclusively through Groupon. Every new member to BodyBusiness receives a complimentary orientation from a personal trainer, enrollment in a fitness-planning program, and complete access to fitness classes, equipment, and aquatic area. Members also get myriad other perks, including periodic invitations to wellness seminars and lectures. This deal is good for both the new Davenport Village and the original Anderson Lane locations.

With 26 years of experience pumping up the Austin area, BodyBusiness knows what works: personal trainers on the exercise floor to answer your questions; a steamroom and pool to help you unwind; a full range of cardio machines and free weights; and group classes, such as Pilates, water aerobics, spinning, and yoga. BodyBusiness has also learned what does not work: chiefly yelling classes, greased barbells, and nude squat workout power hour.

If you look forward to going to the gym instead of dreading it, you’ll be more apt to stay on track with your fitness routine. That’s why the friendly staff at BodyBusiness designed the gym to make you feel welcome and comfortable. When you hand them a sopping, stinky towel, they’ll say “Thanks,” and nail it up on their trophy wall next to a photo of a horse riding a man. While you’re doing chin-ups, they’ll shine your shoes, and when you emerge from the locker room, you’ll be swarmed by a hired staff of child actors screaming for autographs and hair-ruffling.
