Getting in shape, much like speed-reading Russian literature, requires concentration and the strength to forge ahead through painful, protracted inner monologues. Forge ahead toward fitness with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get a one-month membership at Xcel Fitness in Holladay, a $60 value.

Xcel Fitness offers a comfortable facility in which bodies of all size and shape can seek physical betterment. Membership provides a laundry list of luxuries to take unformed blocks of human potential and sculpt them into classically bulging forms, starting with a 60-minute nutrition and fitness assessment with a National Academy of Sports Medicine–certified personal trainer that also includes posture and injury analysis. The trainer will then craft a regimen of exercises and stretches for each amateur scrap of iron, sending them down the road to a successful fitness future.

Conditioning classes such as yoga and spin invite patrons to sweat and exert in a group setting, and a legion of ellipticals and treadmills with mounted TVs joins ranks with stairmasters and freedom-crying weights to provide muscle meditation and sublime heart-rate enhancement in Xcel’s clean, upscale facility. Locker use, towel service, in-house childcare, and more are also granted to banded members, including 16% off online purchases of Apex supplements.
