Personal fitness is one of the top three ways to lead a healthy life, just behind eating a balanced diet and marrying a ThighMaster. Foster a flourishing existence with today's Groupon: for $25, you get a one-month membership to Rex Wellness Centers (a $52 value). This deal is valid at four locations in Garner, Cary, and Raleigh.

Part of the University of North Carolina's healthcare system, Rex Wellness Centers promote accessible fitness methods. Each location boasts a laundry list of amenities and equipment, including stair climbers, cross-country skiing machines, free weights, and medicine balls filled with cement. For aqueous exercisers, saline indoor pools stoke soothing heat and stay purified thanks to a twinge of salt water. Group exercise sessions also take place at all four gyms, both by land and by pool. Water aerobics shelters muscles in a sea of impact-preventing water, and floor-bound classes such as Zumba, yoga, and step teach tendons the most energetic, peaceful, or rhythmic ways to rid themselves of squatter calories.

Rounding out Rex's health-conscious repertoire, a medically savvy staff supervises each center, affording a wealth of resources to craft a personalized plan toward desired fettle and self-defense techniques against bacon-encrusted bacon. Should visitors enjoy their one-month membership and wish to continue, this Groupon also includes $100 toward continuing their membership.
