An afternoon at the spa grants sweet respite from a fast-paced world of errands, deadlines, and books on tape read by auctioneers. Savor serenity without speediness, thanks to today's Groupon: for $15, you get a 60-minute soak-and-sauna session (up to a $28 value) with towel rental (a $2.50 value) for two people at Common Ground Wellness Center (up to a $30.50 total value, depending on membership status).

Common Ground Wellness Center dedicates its tranquil community bathhouse to relaxation and healing. Within a large, heated outdoor pool surrounded by manicured greenery, therapy jets caress weary muscles. Serenity-seekers then enter the dry-cedar sauna where intense warmth coaxes sweat and toxins from deep within the body, boosts blood flow, and works to ease joint discomfort. Common Ground aims to de-stress the environment along with its patrons by treating its waters with sodium chloride—less harsh than other forms of chlorine and less disruptive than clearing the pool for boiling every 10 minutes—and outfitting changing and pool areas with reclaimed wood. The co-ed, clothing-optional wellness hub schedules women-only, men-only, silent, and community hours to cater to each patron's level of comfort and tolerance for splash fights.
