Hello there, shoppers! Happy New Year! If you resolve to be the picture of health and fitness in 2012, SWAG knows the deals to help you deliver on that goal.
First, at our very own deals site, Specialicious, today you can score five Bikram yoga classes at Bikram Yoga Reston, for $25 (worth $100); five yoga classes at Dancing Mind Yoga in Falls Church for $15; five Pilates group mat classes or three Pilates private classes plus three group mat classes at Studio BE Pilates in Fairfax for just $29; five yoga classes for just $25 or 10 yoga classes for $49 at Inner Power Yoga in Potomac Falls; two personal training sessions at One to One Fitness — with locations in McLean, Reston and D.C. — for $59; and three- or six-week fitness boot camp at Boot Camp Challenge in Springfield for only $50.
Also, Weight Watchers – the healthy, easy-to-stick-to plan I adhere to in order to maintain my weight, keep on track — is waving registration fees right now, for its traditional in-person meetings program and online program.
Revolve, Clarendon’s new indoor cycling-only fitness center with spinning classes at varying levels, some incorporating strength training, etc., is offering 15 percent off “rides” this month.
And there are always awesome free health and fitness apps. Two faves: Restaurant Nutrition, with nutritional info for menu items at over 250 restaurants; and the Fit Bit app, which with the Fit Bit Ultra wireless activity tracker, helps you keep track of all of your daily activity and nutritional intake. I’ve been using the Fit Bit since Christmas, am addicted to checking how many stairs I’ve climbed and how many steps I’ve taken, tracking my sleep efficiency, etc. You can compare your results to others in your age group, gender, BMI as well — very motivating.
Happy shopping!
