Mental fitness may be key to surviving tense chess matches with the Dauphin, but nothing enables you to actually lift heavy objects like physical fitness. Today’s Groupon gets you two months of unlimited-access fitness classes and equipment at Executive Plaza Fitness Center for $19, a $143 value including the waived initiation fee. Your EP Choice membership fulfills your resolution to never again hit the elliptical during standard business hours; your membership has extended weekday hours and weekend access, specialized training equipment, and a private spinning studio not available to EP Basic Members. Sweat the golden droplets of aristocratic sweat from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends.

EP Fitness Center’s expert staff is happy to show you around your new workout digs and point out the state-of-the-art equipment that is strictly off-limits for marmosets. Lift weights atop a Vibe Board, a vibrating platform that enhances your balance and strength, so you avoid falling into a mildly gross river of olive oil when the earth opens beneath your quaking quads. Recuperate sore dragon-fighting muscles with FreeMotion strength-training equipment, and enjoy the luxury of watching TV while on your Star Trac cardio equipment. Head to your Choice-only spinning studio for lunchtime hill climbs, evening races, and after-hours seminars on the epistemological limitations of Kant’s theory of perception.

In addition to your exclusive spinning classes, you’ll get access to all of EP Fitness Center’s fitness classes, which will infuse your workout with expert guidance and the kind of peer pressure that will rarely lead to holding illegal turtle fights in your mom’s basement. Teach your muscles to eat your fat with STEP Interval, a 45-minute high-intensity step-aerobics and weight-training combo that will leave you sore and sweaty. Integrate a 15-minute butt- or gut-blasting session into your workout routine, and try out EP’s other classes, such as Pilates, yoga, and sports conditioning. Classes are offered to meet demand, so check EP Fitness Center’s schedule for updated class times in the new year.
