$75 for Three Personal-Training Sessions and a Fitness Consultation at Fitness Together ($280 Value)

When you did fitness alone, you couldn’t figure out the machines, did a wimpy walk on the treadmill, went home, and ate Funyuns. Today’s Groupon brings back the buddy system: for $75, you get three personal-training sessions and a fitness consultation at Fitness Together (a $280 value). This Groupon is valid for redemption at four participating locations: Barrington , East Greenwich , Lincoln , and Providence . The muscle tutors at Fitness Together work with clients to determine their goals and develop a customized workout plan designed to help them reach their true fitness potential. They’ll supervise your squats, offer nutritional advice, and push you until you see results as you build your body toward phonebook-ripping or telemarketer-intimidating. Individualized attention means it’s all about you—your trainer can point out when you’re doing a stretch incorrectly, help you tone the trouble zones, and push you to keep going when you’d otherwise quit or become distracted by the fragile beauty of a passing hummingbird. After three sessions at Fitness Together, you’ll gain the confidence and knowledge essential to effortlessly plow through any routine, proving your father wrong once and for all. Even if you’re a seasoned gym rat, you can use this Groupon to add some cumin to your routine and keep your muscles wondering what will come next.

$18 for Three “The Works” Car Washes at ScrubaDub Auto Wash Center

Unlike cats and germaphobes, automobiles need to be reminded to wash themselves. Drop a blatant hint to your lazy ride with today’s Groupon: for $18, you get three The Works car washes at ScrubaDub Auto Wash Center (up to a $54 value). Buyers must register online to get their wash certificate, which can be redeemed at any of ScrubaDub’s East Coast locations , with the exception of the Brighton and Jennings Street locations. ScrubaDub’s The Works wash (which varies in price by location from $15–$18) administers a computerized cleansing of besmirched auto bodies using eco-friendly products and equipment. Your complete auto-ablution begins with a wash robot giving your ride an express wash that uses photoelectric sensors to suss out dirt, salt, and missing left socks, even in hiding places unreachable by human hands, such as the undercarriage. Once ScrubaDub has purged your car of grime, gunk, and ectoplasm with its own environmentally safe Superglo soap (a customized blend of eight wash solutions), it will gently bathe your wheelmobile with warm water that has been softened and heated in ScrubaDub’s own reservoirs to guarantee a spotless rinse. This water is recycled and re-treated for future use, which keeps it from polluting the environment and wastes far less water than washing your car or pet whale at home. The Works also slathers on a rust inhibitor, adds a twinkle to tires with Wheel Brite, and coats the exterior with DuraGlaze, a protective foaming wax that keeps its surface sleek and friction-free. Though ScrubaDub’s wash system is run by a sophisticated computer compliant with the Three Laws of Cleanly Robotics, a friendly team of human auto servicers is on-hand to make sure that your conveyance is scrubbed and buffed to your satisfaction.
