In today's workplace, sleeveless, bicep-broadcasting business suits are a common sight, and deal-closing golf games are eschewed in favor of sweat-slicked cage matches. Get in shape to vault over the corporate ladder with today's Groupon. For $40, you get a one-month membership (a $100 value) and one personal training session (a $62 value) at The Sporting Club at The Bellevue, a three-time Best of Citysearch award-winner. This Groupon is valid for new members aged 18 years and older. The Sporting Club at The Bellevue's initiation fee of $195 is also waived with this Groupon; if you decide to continue your membership at regular price after the first month, you will have to pay the initiation fee, but you'll get a $40 Groupon discount, dropping the initiation fee to $155.

The Surgeon General states that working up a good sweat improves respiratory fitness, relieves mental stress, and attracts chirping parakeets that perch on exercisers' shoulders to admire their glistening skin. The Sporting Club at The Bellevue ensures members attract fowl on leisurely park strolls by providing a wide range of fitness equipment in its sleek, state-of-the-art facility. The Sporting Club at The Bellevue features strength and cardio equipment, an indoor running track, racquetball courts, a full-size NBA court, boxing facilities, and an indoor swimming pool. Additionally, customers can shed stress with steam rooms, saunas, whirlpools, and a fully equipped locker room.

Unlike joining the league of extraordinary whiskey-drinking ladies, membership allows access to a wide range of group classes. Whether it’s spinning, Pilates, yoga, or rowing, everyone can find a class that suits their fitness needs and allows them to pocket a boost of energy for later. Additionally, one personal training session will expose members to the benefits of a motivated trainer propelling them through an efficient session that will make burnt-up calories cry massive tears of sweat.

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 The Sporting Club at The Bellevue designed its hall of fitness to make you feel welcome and comfortable. When you hand them a sopping, stinky towel, they'll say "Thanks" and nail it up on their trophy wall, and when you emerge from the sauna, you'll be swarmed by a hired staff of children screaming for autographs.

• The staff is friendly and proffesional, most of the classes are for all levels and are lead by well trained and approchable people. It is very clean, it's open for about 20 hours a day on weekdays, and there is so much to do and try, you can't get bored. – reneecamp, Citysearch
