In today's workplace, sleeveless, bicep-broadcasting business suits are a common sight, and deal-closing golf games are eschewed in favor of sweat-slicked cage matches. Get in shape to vault over the corporate ladder with today's Groupon: for $29, you get a one-month membership to Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs (up to a $99 value) plus a waived activation fee. This Groupon is good for any one of Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs’ eight Boston-area locations, with three in Boston, two in Brighton, and one each in Brookline, Wellesley, and West Newton.

Each of Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs' cheerful neighborhood locations pairs group exercise classes with a phalanx of cardio, strength-training, and free-weight fitness equipment. Gym members can tone bodies with Precor treadmills or pound Cybex machines to be able to fight them when they become self-aware. A well-cultivated balance of strength and cardio equipment ensures that bodies don't become too lean, too muscular, or too attached to heartbreaking maverick dumbbells. Join the parked peloton in a group spinning class and meet fellow soma-slimmers while racing to the top of imaginary hills and bunny-hopping over make-believe lawn gnomes and very real leprechauns. Round out your gymsperience by signing up for group offerings, including Pilates, tai chi, and yoga classes.

For almost 20 years, the locally owned and operated Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs have been providing gym-goers with a cheerful neighborhood ambiance and expansive, well-maintained facilities. Each of the eight locations enjoys a welcoming vibe emanating from engaging staff, neighborhood members, and rowing machines that shout silent cries of encouragement.
