With Columbus Day right around the corner, citizens will want to start preparing for their own beach landing, which should include a rock-hard body summoned by the royal court of Spain.

If you look forward to going to the gym instead of dreading it, you’ll be more apt to stay on track with your fitness routine. That’s why the friendly staff at Snap Fitness designed its hall of fitness to make you feel welcome and comfortable. If you’re weary of congested, testosterone-peddling muscle melees at other gyms where you can’t even find an open machine, Snap Fitness will cure your fitness inertia with a bevy of treadmills, elliptical trainers, Stairmasters, stationary bikes, free weights, and weight-training machines.

Snap Fitness was created in 2003 by a guy who witnessed the shady underground workings of most gyms and wanted to provide a better alternative. Each Snap Fitness center is designed for the busy worker with limited time to work out, the midnight marathoner, or your dismal coworker who constantly shares his desire for a Friday night without romantic comedies and ice cream binges. Whatever your level of fitness, a month membership to Snap will allow you to jump-start, kick-start, and jump-kick-start your fitness routine and healthy lifestyle.

This Groupon is only valid for new clients.
