$49 for a Six-Week Boot-Camp Fitness Package at Pittsburgh Fit Body Boot Camp in Wildwood ($348 Value)

Since the invention of cars and online dating, humans have needed extra motivation to marshal muscles into shape. Avoid the temptation of driving a car to work or pulling it with your teeth by shaping up with today’s Groupon: for $49, new clients get a six-week boot camp, pre- and postcamp fitness assessments, a nutrition plan, and a shopping guide at Pittsburgh Fit Body Boot Camp in Wildwood (a $348 value). The certified personal trainers of the Fit Body Boot Camps are half drill sergeant, half high-school football coach, half mathematician, and all expert. After a preclass fitness body assessment, the instructor and group atmosphere combine to encourage trainees of all levels to push past fitness thresholds and recurring images of trucks chasing them. Students sweat through an ever-changing arsenal of training itineraries that work on building muscle, maintaining healthy cardio levels, and dropping pounds in a minimal time period (a $249 value for six weeks). The sessions are fun and energetic, sparking positive memories of slender past summers riding exercise bikes down the boulevards and swimming through medicine-ball pits. In addition to the fortifying classes, a nutrition plan (a $25 value), a healthy-shopping guide (a $25 value), and a postclass fitness assessment help flab fighters keep lost pounds unfound by fusing fitness regimens with their whims in the kitchen.

$12 for $24 Worth of New American Fare at Sausalido

People eat three times a day to prevent mouthy mouths from brashly blurting out their distaste for the rest of the digestive system.

Those who prefer a swimmable feast can delight in the Asian-inspired seared ahi tuna with warm vegetable slaw ($23), and porcine-inclined palates can revel in the French-cut pork chop crackling over crispy leeks and bacon-and-bleu risotto ($23). In keeping with the Bloomfield eatery’s friendly vibe, all meals come with locally baked bread, white beans with rosemary oil, a side salad, and a hot stock tip from one of the sociable servers.
