Monday's Retail Madness

This Monday’s Retail Madness is an absolute gem for those interested in frugal fitness. And in fact it was suggested by one of Frugal Fitness’s own followers. The website Groupon offers discounts for popular services in cities throughout the U.S. What this means for Frugal Fitness followers is that you can get great discounts on things like personal training packages with local gyms, fitness or dance class packages, rounds of golf, rockclimbing or tennis lessons and many other active pursuits. Some deals offer as much as half off the original price or more!

The way it works is simple: a business chooses to participate with Groupon and offers one of its services for a discounted price, if enough people choose to sign up for the service then the deal is on and your credit card will be charged. Unfortunately, if there is not enough interest, the deal is off and you cannot take advantage of the savings but your credit card will not be charged.

Groupon offers one deal every day, so it is worth it to sign up and have the deal emailed to you directly to avoid having to constantly check back on the website. For more information about how Groupon works, check out the sites FAQs.

Fit Tip: Groupon has offers for non-fitness related services and products such as spa treatments, dinners out, tickets, etc. So this site is great to use for all kinds of different activities and merchandise. Just make sure all these discounts don’t tempt you away from your fitness goals and do take advantage of the great fitness offers available!
