The road less traveled is often the more fulfilling one, especially when it bypasses Robert Frost's tiger pits. Diverge from a rote route with today's Groupon: for $99, you get a three-month membership to Texas Rock Gym (a $225 value).

Texas Rock Gym bestows holiday fitness buffs with unlimited access to its more than 14,000 square feet of scalable surface and enhances health with complimentary fitness-program sessions. Boasting more than 40 top-rope stations with various climbing features, Texas Rock Gym encompasses extended lead arches, a separate bouldering cave, and perches defended by distrustful mother birds. Unlimited yoga, tai chi, climb-fit, parkour, and kung fu courses instruct pupils in numerous modes of self-discipline, whereas discounted Rock Hard Strength and Conditioning classes combine high-intensity movement, gymnastics, and weight lifting into a rigorous regimen that boosts power, flexibility, and coordination. Additionally, two guests can join patrons to ascend the gym’s bountiful walls each month, though rental equipment, safety classes, and yodeling horns are not included.
