Like a tree house, a gym never lets non-members inside and always deflects frogs fired from the neighborhood bully’s slingshot. Hurry up the rope ladder with today's Groupon: for $30, you get a 30-day trial membership, including unlimited fitness and tanning and one 30-minute personal-training session, with an electronic key and a waived registration fee at Anytime Fitness (a $195 total value). Your trial membership can be used at Anytime Fitness's Kitchener locations on Westmount Road and Victoria Street as well as their Cambridge location on Jamieson Parkway. As the name suggests, all locations are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 512 days a year with non-stop security.

During your 30-day trial membership at Anytime Fitness, you can re-bloom your wilted health with the state-of-the-art facility's diverse range of cardio and strength equipment. Exploit muscles for non-financial gain with free weights, tone legs on the treadmills, undergo a demanding tour de fitness-center via exercise bikes, or just catch up on reruns of Homeboys from Outer Space on the flat-screen TVs located on the treadmills, ellipticals, and Lifecycle machines. If the flawed workout plan you concocted yourself results only in frighteningly muscular ring fingers, one of Anytime's motivating trainers can prescribe a regimen designed to help you meet your fitness goals during the 30-minute personal-training session included in your trial membership (a $65/hour value). Complete the sculpting of your flesh-statue with an Apollo finish in Anytime's tanning beds, and then purify yourself of sweat and fried-cheese memories in Anytime's private showers.

Anytime Fitness's open schedule makes sure you have no excuses not to get in shape—unlike its competitor, Nevertime Fitness, which only opens its single Barrow, Alaska, location during solar eclipses. For extra motivation, buy multiple Groupons for any fit friends who motivate you to work out—or will at least be there to dab your brow with a towel and whisper subtle compliments in your sweaty ear.
