The ocean has long been a stage for humanity's grandest achievements, from Magellan’s circumnavigation of the globe to Columbus’s discovery that lobsters look like tiny monsters. Set sail for seafood with this Groupon.

Entrees include the house crab cake with cracked-mustard sauce ($17.99), cedar-plank salmon ($15.99+), and hand-cut Atlantic cod dipped in beer batter ($13.99+). See the full menu.

Every morning at Tom’s Oyster Bar, chefs scrawl the day’s battered and grilled seafood specials on chalkboard menus suspended from the ceiling. In addition to that list of freshly caught fish, the chefs tout their commitment to fresh seafood by stocking their raw bar with oysters that are shucked to order and then gently scolded for hording pearls.

In the wood-accented dining room, companions can sip from dozens of draft and bottled brews and bask in the glow of flat-screen TVs, or retreat to the outdoor patio and take in views of downtown Royal Oak.

Before lasers, the only way to retain the attention of associates during a business meeting was to own a baton made of neon light. Embrace future tech with this Groupon.

Working out is No. 2 on the list of most popular daily activities in America, behind teaching dogs to swear. Be your own best friend with this Groupon.

During one-on-one session, personal trainers help students develop the abdominal and leg strength needed to execute pole-based exercise routines.

Held six days a week, classes bring together groups of twenty exercisers for training ranging from cardio-pumping kickboxing and Zumba to gentle yoga and low impact aerobics. See the full schedule.

To escape the confines of indoor workouts, students meet with Jessica Arundel at any lake within 15 miles of the gym to float the shallows atop a paddleboard while performing balance-centric yoga poses.

In Motion Anytime’s owner Jessica Arundel helps her clients find fitness wherever they may be, whether lifting weights in her gym or stretching through yoga poses while floating in one of Michigan’s many lakes. She teaches a combination of yoga, aerobics, and circuit training, combining her personal training powers with the efforts of four other certified fitness instructors to reach more students and occasionally summon Captain Exercise. Under the group’s tutelage, members and drop-in visitors shake away calories in hip-swaying Zumba sessions or pound punching bags at high speed to elevate their heart rates in cardio kickboxing classes.

Most dancing requires a predictable beat, which is why party DJs rarely play symphonies or audiobooks of Stephen King novels. Trade cliffhangers for club sounds with this GrouponLive deal to see RedFoo & Cherry Tree Present Sorry for Party Rocking tour, featuring LMFAO with Far East Movement, The Quest Crew, Sidney Samson, and more at The Palace of Auburn Hills. For $38, you get one general-admission floor G-Pass for Wednesday, May 23, at 7 p.m. (up to a $76.40 value, including all fees). Doors open at 6 p.m. Because the ticket is a G-Pass, Groupon customers can use it to enter the venue directly; they will not need to redeem their Groupon at will call.

Despite their determinedly of-the-moment sound, RedFoo and SkyBlu are carrying on a long pop lineage: the former is Motown founder Berry Gordy's son, the latter his grandson. As red-hot electropop duo LMFAO, the uncle-nephew pairing electrifies dance floors with manic odes to party life. The 2012 Sorry for Party Rocking tour explodes with fan favorites such as "Party Rock Anthem" and newer hits such as "Sexy and I Know It," whose bouncy swagger dominated the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 28 weeks. The band parades in neon animal prints amid backup dancers, bobbing beneath giant robot heads, tossing inflatables into the crowd, and creating a spectacle Metro Weekly calls "enormously entertaining."

The LA-based foursome Far East Movement straddles the worlds of underground DJ culture and crowd-pleasing electronica with such hits as "Like a G6" and "Jello." After winning the third season of MTV's America's Best Dance Crew, The Quest Crew diversifies the bill's skill set with acrobatic hip-hop moves, gravity-defying leaps, and dangerously intense head bobs. Amid a trio of other energetic opening acts, Dutch DJ Sidney Samson draws attention to his house-tinged synth beats and intense remixes of everyone from Kylie Minogue to Lil Jon.

Due to security restrictions, G-Passes must be printed out and presented in person at the event. They cannot be redeemed through Groupon's mobile app.

Indoor boot camps don't make trainees dash through the mud, brave the cold, or run relays while hefting stray dogs over their shoulders. Cake your body in nothing but sweat with this Groupon.

Indoor boot camps commence with a personalized evaluation to gauge current fitness levels and map out individual goals. Clients then embark on an intensive three-week training agenda melding cardio-focused kickboxing, belly dancing, and step aerobics with core-toning Pilates, yoga, circuit weight training, and Bosu-ball routines. Instructors also help to trim waistlines through professional nutritional guidance. Those who wish to dance their way to a tighter physique may swivel their hips, wave their limbs, and tear up their parking tickets to the Latin grooves of Zumba aerobic-dance classes. Click here for a schedule of boot camps and classes.

Jennifer Gray puts her 15 years of fitness-industry experience to use formulating goal-oriented programs for women. Gray begins with a healthy helping of circuit weight training and kickboxing before adding a pinch of Pilates, a dash of yoga for flexibility, and a sprinkling of belly dancing for core strengthening. She also strives to help clients develop nutritionally sound eating habits, giving them the tools to avoid fatty, bad-for-you foods such as processed meats and deep-fried statues of Grover Cleveland.

Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region is the textbook image of idyllic farmland—a landscape of rolling hills divided by rail fences into orchards, wineries, and horse pastures. In 1926, the Cleveland Orphanage Institution decided it was the perfect setting for educating children. They rebuilt the Cleveland Home as a Dutch Colonial Revival building, providing plenty of room for kids to run around. Today, it’s become The Woodford Inn, a stately, red brick structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Bruce and Linda Parker, two restaurateurs-turned-innkeepers, keep the place as welcoming as ever with warm hospitality and home-cooked southern fare.

The onsite Addie’s Restaurant and Bar is named after Linda’s mother, who used to prepare her family’s large Sunday dinners. The restaurant serves local specialties such as the Hot Brown sandwich ($12) with roast turkey and country ham in cheesy mornay sauce. An equally hearty breakfast often includes pancakes, bacon, and omelets, all served from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. You can dine inside, where paintings of racehorses line the walls, or head out to the patio, which is flanked by grassy lawns and conifers. There’s also a front porch, outfitted in classic southern fashion with rocking chairs and hanging ferns.

Inside, many of the inn's 10 guest rooms overlook the neighboring Woodford County Park. Though no two rooms are identical, all boast Tempur-Pedic mattresses, ornately carved headboards, and jacuzzi tubs. Room 3’s two-person tub makes it a good fit for couples.

The town of Versailles was named after the site of Louis XIV's gilded palace in France, yet the two places share little in common. The American version is located along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, a string of famous distilleries including Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, and Wild Turkey. The region is also home to some of the most successful racehorse breeders in the world, whose ponies have gone on to win the Triple Crown and star in the doodles of 12-year-old girls all over the world.

Half an hour east, Lexington has many equine-related attractions of its own, including the Kentucky Horse Park and the Keeneland Race Track, a beautiful course that dates to 1935 and is known for its horse auctions. Nearby, the Mary Todd Lincoln House is filled with rooms made to look much like the ones lived in by Abraham Lincoln’s First Lady.

Many people don't think about learning how to knit until they need to actually knit something, like when they've run out of socks or when their parachute refuses to open during a skydive. Sew a new skill into your repertoire with this Groupon.

Beginners learn how to knit slippers, while more advanced students will be free to work on any project they choose. Knitting classes are held on Monday and Tuesday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., and on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. See the full schedule for upcoming classes. Students can also bring their own drinks, including alcohol.

Nestled within a two-story brick house-turned-knitting shop, Charlene Hatfield helps fabricteers weave their marks with an assortment of classes and needlework supplies. An instructor certified by the Yarn Council of America, she offers tips and techniques on the craft and leads classes on topics that include crocheting, cross-stitching, and knitting. She stocks her shop with an extensive selection of fibers to ensure customers won't have to search the ends of the earth for a particular style of thread or surreptitiously unravel the socks of strangers on the bus.

Paintings are a window into the artist's thoughts, from Pollock's chaotic canvases to the little frowny faces on each star in Starry Night. Paint it out with this Groupon.

Students connect with the imaginative energy of their youth as they dip their fingers in paint and enjoy a relaxed, social atmosphere.

A reiki healer and fifth-generation painter, Hannah Manges believes in the power of intuition, such as when she sensed that what her adult art students needed most was to finger paint. Though she's classically trained, Manges never cared for the rigidity and competitiveness that often characterized the art industry. She further saw that teaching her adult students in a classical tradition took the joy out of things; most of them were there to try something new and expand themselves, not master technique. So during a class in which her students struggled to find joy in their work, she put their palettes away and grabbed a stack of paper plates. Thus began her BYOB finger-painting class, which has evolved into an experience in which people "kick off their shoes, have some wine, and have some fun."

Though the BYOB finger-painting course remains among her most popular—it's earned recognition in local press, such as the Midland Daily News—Manges leads other classes that range from couples' painting workshops to watercolor for beginners. She also teaches art via her television series, Painting Pictures with Hannah Manges, on Midland Community Television Network Channel 99. "I'm becoming a celebrity to all the 80-year-old women in town who read the paper and watch public television," she laughs.

To further encourage students and visitors to become more comfortable with art, Manges posts signs throughout her gallery that say, "Please touch everything." She encourages everyone to fully experience each piece of her art, which includes The Healing Tree series, a collection Manges began to connect with her deceased mother.

Though fake vampire fangs were originally designed to conceal uncleanly teeth, their waxy composition rendered them useless for chewing anything but dough balls dipped in water. Properly protect pointy chompers with today’s Groupon: for $35, you get a dental package at Right Dental Group (a $300 value). This Groupon is valid at the Southfield, Clarkston, and Detroit locations. The package includes:

With hundreds of locations across the country, Right Dental Group represents a collection of oral-health-care professionals who deliver a variety of quality dental services. The collective places an emphasis on relationship building—meaning patients can confess their most egregious toffee-apple trespasses while receiving a teeth scrubbing delivered with precision and understanding. Each of the dentists is prescreened for a consistent record of excellence and the ability to efficiently locate a cavity in a toothstack.

A skilled doctor and staff skillfully will probe forgotten mouth corners, eradicating tartar and expunging plaque from bacterial lairs. The included x-rays will help uncover any oral problem areas that cannot be seen with the shamelessly naked eye. After treatment, clients will be privy to tips that explain the proper brushing and flossing techniques to ward off gum disease and tooth loss, ensuring tongue-stoppers remain firmly rooted to the rest of the skeletal system.

A family’s love for each other can best be seen in the amount of family photos on the wall that don’t just feature the pictures that came with the frame. Capture your own memories with this Groupon.

High-school seniors pose while photographer and owner Linda Houston snaps yearbook-worthy shots. She then uploads all of the images into an online gallery that clients can peruse to select their favorite. The selected image will appear on the digitally enhanced 5"x7" prints, wallet-sized prints, and in the student's yearbook.

As the mother of two grown daughters, Linda Houston knows firsthand how important and how difficult it can be to schedule a family portrait. The professional photographer has been helping memorialize images of loved ones since 1988, capturing in-studio portraits and on-location shoots for weddings and other special events. The team's unhurried style translates into dynamic senior shots, endearing black-and-white images, and frame-worthy prints of beloved family pets and horses.

Houston's all-female staff puts women at ease during tastefully sensual boudoir shoots, and can bring old photos back to life with restoration services. They can also creatively enhance photos to resemble paintings, whether a client wants to turn a tender photo of their children into a Monet-like piece of art, or a pet portrait into a canine version of the Mona Lisa.

Photographers use fancy terms, such as “shutter speed,” “metering,” and “clicky metal box that makes time be still.” Let pros be pros with this Groupon.

During the 90-minute shoot, photographers Jen and Angela snap shots of up to six people, allowing time for outfit changes, at a location of the clients' choice. Post-shoot, the photographers preserve 15 favorite shots as high-resolution images on a disk.

Friends for more than 20 years, Jen Buckerfield Dera and Angela Skruba-Bilen have had their cameras at the ready throughout college, law school, marriage, and the raising of their families, documenting these personal milestones on film. The two pals eventually decided to channel their photographic passion into Capture A Moment Photography, where they harness natural light sources to frame families, expectant mothers, and small celebrations in parks, backyards, or the protected airspace over a national monument. After each shoot, they assemble photos into a proofing gallery that remains online for 30 days, during which time patrons can select the pictures they want to preserve on a disk of high-resolution images.

Holmes County, Ohio, is home to the world's largest Amish community, a culture that eschews modern technology in search of a simpler lifestyle. Consequently, the region feels even more separate from city life than other rural areas, a trait that makes it especially attractive to some. The Inn at Honey Run embraces this ethos while still offering an onsite spa, an upscale restaurant, and other comforts you'd expect from a luxury boutique hotel.

The Inn at Honey Run's aesthetic is a far cry from the earthy farmhouses just a few miles away. Bucolic yet refined decor covers both the lobby and the guest rooms with wreaths of sinewy dried vines and local artwork made of wrought iron and polished wood. Several Select rooms occupy upper floors, where treetops are visible through reading nooks' skylights. Alternatively, Honeycomb rooms are built into a hillside and come with a secluded outdoor patio.

Every morning, guests gather at Tarragon, the Inn's upscale yet casual restaurant, for a continental breakfast of fresh fruit, yogurt, and house-made muffins and pastries. For lunch and dinner, Executive Chef Scott Fetty draws on his training and uses seasonal, local ingredients to craft upscale American cuisine.

At the onsite Spa at Honey Run, sip on flowering tea before a massage, facial treatment, or body treatment that uses 100% organic oils and scrubs. The hiking trails that crisscross the property are another source of relaxation, passing through meadows and forests and along burbling brooks. For an additional fee of $125, the inn will arrange an authentic Amish-country buggy ride around the surrounding hills.

Located about 80 miles south of Cleveland, Holmes County's rolling countryside is rife with farms and stores, as well as a few tourist attractions. See the Amish lifestyle up close at The Farm at Walnut Creek, which also houses exotic creatures such as giraffes, camels, and kangaroos alongside regional animals like cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. The Holmes County Trail follows 29 miles of former railroad lines, from nearby Killbuck to Fredericksburg, with 15 paved miles accommodating Amish buggies and bicycles.

When prepping walls for insulation, handymen often uncover historical newspapers, long-forgotten family portraits, and magazines filled with racy pictures of women’s ankles. Is it hot in here, or is it just this Groupon?

Insulation specialists seal attics with formaldehyde-free, wool fiberglass blown-in R-49 insulation to keep cool air from escaping in the summer and trap in warm air throughout the winter.

Though USA Insulation sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

For more than three decades, the specialists at USA Insulation have protected the walls and rooftops of Michiganders’ homes from the capricious elements outside. To make homes more comfortable and energy efficient, the team uses USA Premium Insulation foam—an eco-friendly product that can be discreetly installed without disturbing the pre-existing brick, stucco, or wood and vinyl siding. After filling out the voids left by cellulose or fiberglass insulation, the liquid hardens quickly into a foam, which provides an extra layer of thermal and acoustic protection that drowns out the neighbor’s garage rock band or inexplicably terrifying laughter.

Without costumed interpreters, the only way to make history come to life would be to venture into a wormhole or finally get around to reciting the instruction card that came with your mummy. Learn the difference between reenactment and reanimation with this Groupon.

A charming historical village re-creates life as it was in rural Ohio during the 19th and early 20th centuries, educating young and old alike in the craftsmanship, daily chores, and food of a bygone era. Costumed inhabitants immerse visitors in the past with demonstrations on traditional quilting, pottery, and metalwork, and hands-on displays and exhibits enlighten and entertain guests of all ages. See the full schedule.

Sauder Village’s rates fluctuate according to age, military status, and day of the week.

After building up one of the state’s most successful furniture companies, woodworker Erie Sauder paid tribute to northwest Ohio’s pioneers with an open-air museum dedicated to re-creating the idyllic charm of a 19th-century rural village. To make his dream an even more vivid reality, Sauder moved dozens of historical structures to the village, restoring them and filling them with traditional pottery and tinsmithing shops, general stores, and schools. Costumed actors guide visitors of all ages through the traditional chores and activities of the 1800s, such as singing hymns, shearing sheep, or rebooting the hard drive on the printing press. Exhibits place guests directly into the lives and experiences of the Great Black Swamp’s settlers, from the earliest native peoples to the hard-working farmers and master craftspeople of the late 1800s.

As patrons send themselves back in time with the village’s sights and sounds, they treat their taste buds to handmade sweet rolls from the Doughbox Bakery or dine on feasts of roast beef and chicken amid the hand-hewn rafters of the Barn Restaurant. Overnight guests lodge at the spacious campground or the beautiful Heritage Inn, replete with exercise rooms, a gorgeous 25-foot tree, and WiFi access powered by a horse on a treadmill.

$59 for a one-week kids’ summer dance camp (a $130 value) Choose from the following dates:

Five-day dance-camp sessions reveal the steps and twirls of many dance forms, including hip-hop, jazz, tap, and ballet. Tykes from ages 5 to 12 master turns, kicks, and leaps, with each week’s camp boasting different material to learn. In addition to the dancing instruction, kids play games, take part in arts and crafts, and chow down on home-brought lunch after some outdoor playtime.

The record skipped over and over. It was the third time Lisa Schwartz had pirouetted her way through Tina the Ballerina, and yet she raced over to the record player with inexhaustible enthusiasm and plucked the needle back to the beginning of the 78. If you were to ask her today, she would tell you this is the moment she knew she loved dance enough to make it her life's work. Her studio, Dancing Feats Dance Centre, springs from that love. She watches with pride as students she taught as children return to her studio to become instructors and as parents who once studied under her prepare to send a second generation of children and domesticated penguins onto her dance-room floor. Over the years, she has assembled a staff of instructors with a vast array of backgrounds, ranging from cruise-company dance managers to ballet dancers. With help from their varied experience, her studio has developed a regiment of courses in a variety of dance styles, such as jazz, lyrical, modern, and chicken. Her students perform regularly in recitals as well, showcasing their abilities and talents as they progress.

Without skill or athleticism, professional sports could not exist, leaving people to seek out substitutes such as soccer. It's nil-nil again with this Groupon.

Students hit the ground running in kickboxing, ball-training, and strength-conditioning courses, each designed by a former kickboxing champion to define muscle, bolster balance, and hone coordination. He also teams up with exercisers for one-on-one personal-training sessions, in which students focus on weightlifting while they learn safe and effective methods for building muscle and avoiding injury.

Before founding World Sports Fitness, Pierre F. Mouele routinely went toe-to-head in the ring, earning a kickboxing championship title. Finally, he hung up his gloves and retired his cactus-covered shoes so that he could use his boxing training to whip people into shape. Today, he puts his clients and classes through the same demanding conditioning regimen that prepared him to lay out his opponents.

His students cut swathes of muscle pummeling red, black, and blue punching bags in Shotokan karate and self-defense classes. Alternatively, clients heft weights and toss heavy balls during strength-conditioning courses, which help them sculpt a fighter's body without any of the impact exercises associated with traditional boxing training, such as getting constantly punched.

Blue and red padded squares glow underfoot in the vast gym, unused punching bags standing in neat ranks to the side of the space. Above them hang tidied rows of flags, representing the many nations and organizations from which World Sports Fitness draws its curriculum.

Next, shutterbugs appear during the event, whether it be a birthday party or milestone anniversary party, to capture in-the-moment bliss. These lense experts can also render stunning headshots and graduation portraits, all enshrined as high-resolution digital images, classy canvas prints, or personalized mugs, mousepads, and tote bags.

Despite their destructive cinematic depictions, most lasers are helpful, often found assisting slideshow presentations and playing DVDs for people who aren’t entertained by just staring at the shiny part. Let a laser do some good with this Groupon.

During quick treatments, which last 10 minutes per foot, the handheld device directs short pulses of near-infrared laser light directly at underlying toenail fungus, clearing the way for healthy nails to grow in over the course of 9–12 months. Though some patients have success after one session, up to three treatments may be necessary to completely kill fungal colonies. Treatments cause little to no discomfort, and patients may immediately resume normal activities, such as painting toenails or using feet to flag down cabs.

Dr. Philip H. Kresch understands the frustration that comes with having toenail fungus. Working in the podiatry field for more than 30 years, he's seen patients battle with ineffective topical solutions and oral medications that can cause undesirable side effects, such as uncontrollable quickstepping. The pursuit of an effective, no-fuss treatment led him to affix his office with the latest technology for battling toenail fungus—the Q-Clear laser system. Unlike with previous laser procedures, the system's calibrated energy wavelengths can destroy fungal growths without the use of medications in as little as one to three treatments.

Few spots in Europe feel as timeless as the Irish countryside. The craggy, untouched coastline and rolling meadows dotted with herds of sheep and the occasional crumbling castle seem to belong to a faraway past, as though the Industrial Revolution never managed to jump the Irish Sea. From the Tudor stone houses of Kilkenny to the tombs of Boyne Valley, Authentic Ireland Travel's seven-day, six-night Historic Hotels of Ireland Tour offers a taste of the Emerald Isle, with a flexible itinerary and accommodations in centuries-old lodgings.

This deal does not include airfare. Click here to see a detailed trip itinerary.

Days 1–2: After arriving at Dublin Airport, you'll head to Kilkenny City, one of Ireland's oldest towns and home to an imposing 12th-century castle. Directly opposite the castle and the first stop on the tour of historical hotels, Kilkenny River Court Hotel makes a convenient base for exploring the medieval city's many pubs and craft shops. With the included rental car, you can also visit the historical sites in the surrounding countryside, including the monastic ruins of Kells Priory, which you can freely explore outside the company of tour guides and resident poltergeists.

Days 3–5: On the next leg of the journey, you'll stay at the gray-stone Cahernane House Hotel in rural Killarney on the edge of a mountainous national park. Built by the Earl of Pembroke's family in 1877, this stately manse is filled with Victorian antiques, grand velvets, and log fireplaces.

Over the next three days, you're free to explore the town's lively pub districts on Parliament and John Streets and the nearby valley for activities ranging from golf to canoeing. On day 4, a horse and carriage ride tours the countryside via scenic paths, making a short stopover at the 15th-century Ross Castle. Then it's off to the fishing village of Dingle, known for ancient beehive huts and its resident bottlenose dolphin, Fungie, who has inhabited the local waters since 1983. During a one-hour boat trip, you can watch him jump and play up close, as he often puts on a show for travelers.

Days 6–7: A 3.5-hour drive through Ireland's famously verdant countryside will put you at Dunboyne Castle Hotel, an 18th-century mansion tucked amid Boyne Valley's megalithic sites. Here, you can tour prehistoric burial sites such as Newgrange, a large mound built more than 5,000 years ago and filled with mysterious carvings and stone-passage tombs. On day 7, you'll head to Dublin for the return flight home or continue traveling at your own.

Instructors assist students as they create projects, helping them master skills that can range from beginner to advanced. Prior to both classes and retreats, students purchase personal kits, patterns, and supplies from Crafty Lady Trio (not included). Retreats provide cake and coffee for all participants.

Lynn, Patricia, and Martina each discovered a love for design and creativity at a young age, and this passion ultimately brought them together to work at a crafting studio until 2006, when the owner of the studio retired after more than 20 years in business. Not wanting to say goodbye to each other or their customers, the three friends decided to purchase the business, and Crafty Lady Trio was born, creating a place for customers to knit, stitch, and socialize.

When asked what sets the company apart, Lynn Cusumano cites its specialization. "I think we have the largest selection,” she adds, “and largest number of experienced teachers." These resources shine through during classes, which, instead of adhering to specific lesson plans, cater to each student's skill set. Pupils purchase kits and patterns ahead of time from Crafty Lady Trio's store, and then help them blossom into colorful projects such as scarves and shawls with an expert’s guidance. The trio also leads longer crafting retreats and a weekly club for more advanced projects.

Courses take place within a 3,600-square-foot studio space that holds five teaching tables. For the trio and their students, this isn't just a place to work. It becomes a haven for making friends and sharing a passion for needlework.

Yoga keeps the body in one place for a long time to bring about relaxation, unlike a barbershop quartet that only knows Stairway to Heaven. Enjoy inner harmony with this Groupon.

Ashtanga and Vinyasa classes lead limbs through traditional poses that cultivate strength and grace. See the Ann Arbor schedule and Royal Oak schedule for class times.

Yogi Jason Schramm, inspired by the daily struggles of the city he loves, named his studio in its honor. Within the school’s two locations, he draws upon 10,000 hours spent teaching to show students how to find inner peace and use it to effect change. The instructors use traditional yoga poses to propel pupils inward, and Schramm and his team let subtle influences from martial arts shine through in some courses. Ashtanga classes summon sweat with vigorous poses that build strength and flexibility, and Vinyasa techniques weave movement, stillness, and deep breaths into a dance-like sequence that changes daily. In addition to leading classes in his studios, Schramm imparts poses over Skype, which lets yogis practice without leaving home or admitting they are tangled in Christmas lights.

Madison's Pub owners envisioned a pub that had it all under one roof. So when they discovered a 100-year-old, three-story brick building nestled in downtown Mount Clemens, it seemed like the obvious choice to fulfill their dreams. Just beyond glass garage doors, they set up a large hardwood floor with enough room for their patrons to dance or herd elephants, and they peppered the bar with over a dozen high-definition plasma TVs and an eight-foot big-screen TV with surround sound for sports fans to follow the Tigers and Redwings. Owners also set up a smaller bar at the front of the building to give guests a quieter place to chat. As everyone's bound to work up a hunger from all the activity, the pub's chefs devised a menu of hearty burgers and sandwiches, as well as specialties such as mac ‘n’ cheese and beer-battered fish ‘n’ chips.

Named the Best Bar Patio by Real Detroit Weekly from 2009–2012, the large outdoor patio accommodates hundreds of pub-goers, with plenty of seating and shady umbrellas. The breezy space also boasts a grill, where pit masters barbecue affordable, tasty ribs and burgers to complement cold brews and fresh air. During warmer seasons, DJs spin tunes and unnecessary wool under the patio's hanging café lights.

At Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach, "all-inclusive resort" means much more than unlimited dinners and mai tais. Right in between the beach and the resort, you can learn how to trapeze at an open-air training facility surrounded by netting. Head up to the trapeze platform for a free lesson, and you can see the Caribbean Sea stretch out for miles right next to the resort's private, 5,000-foot stretch of pristine golden beach lined with palapas below.

The trapeze lesson is one of many ways the resort goes beyond the typical all-inclusive experience. When you're not relaxing at the beach, the all-inclusive plan frees you up to try a scuba-diving lesson, take yoga classes, climb a rock wall in the gym, or take in some live entertainment.

The beachfront resort is spread out like a small village, lined with flagstone pathways, landscaped gardens, three pools, and a shady coral stone grotto. At night, you can stop by the discotheque and dance to spicy meringue music, or head to the theater to enjoy a live performance of musicals such as Moulin Rouge or Cabaret. As the night winds down, stop for a midnight snack at the 24-hour pizzeria.

Guests can enjoy unlimited food and drinks from five restaurants and four bars, including La Terraza, a breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot that serves an international buffet. You can get a nice view of the sunset on the waterfront patio of La Roca Grill, which serves tropical cocktails and fried calamari.

Beachfront bungalows are located steps from the ocean, so guests can fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves and the squeals of dolphins watching horror films.

Bayahibe is situated on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic on the shore of the Caribbean Sea. The former fishing village remained relatively untouched by tourism until the late 1990s, when it became known for its white-sand beaches and scuba-diving sites, but it still has a tucked-away feel.

For diving and snorkeling, it's worth it to take a trip to Saona Island, an uninhabited nature reserve located just off the mainland. Tour operators on catamarans and motorboats will drop you around the area's sandbars and shipwrecks, which overflow with brightly colored fish.

About 20 miles (32 km) from the hotel, the cobblestone streets of Altos de Chavon are lined with artists' studios, galleries, and quaint cafés. The European-inspired village is also home to a 5,000-seat amphitheater, which has featured headlining shows from legendary artists including Frank Sinatra and Shakira.

You’ll typically hear Detroit nicknamed “The Motor City” for being the American headquarters of auto giants like General Motors. But before it was paved with highways, Detroit was fancied as a strategic port to control ships and commerce on the Great Lakes. In fact, there are three world emblems on the Detroit city flag: France, England, and the United States. The city has been ruled by all three since first being settled by Europeans near the turn of the 18th century.

Detroit is a city rich with history and cultural institutions, and Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Detroit Warren is conveniently located in a suburb near downtown but just removed enough if you want to have a quiet night in.

As you walk in the lobby, you’ll find a fireplace amid Bavarian-styled decor. Head up to your one-bedroom king suite and you’ll find a bottle of champagne or sparkling cider, a box of chocolates, and a bouquet of fresh flowers waiting as part of the romance package. Each spacious suite is laid out more like a cozy apartment than a hotel; there’s a kitchenette stocked with pots and pans, and you can feel free to sink into couches in the living room or take a relaxing bath in quicksand.

In the morning, head downstairs to the Hawthorn’s dining area to enjoy a complimentary hot breakfast, which includes waffles, eggs, and oatmeal.

Located in southern Michigan, Detroit is close to Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie, and right below massive Lake Huron. Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Detroit Warren is located in a quiet suburb about 15 minutes away from downtown.

Detroit’s downtown has some excellent museums. One of these is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot art museum considered to be one of the finest of its kind in the country. Among its vast collection: a dragon tile relief from the Ishtar Gate of Babylon and a self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh.

The Motown Museum is in the same house where legends such as Stevie Wonder, the Supremes, and the Jackson 5 recorded some of their most classic songs. In one of the studios, you can see a giant divot in the wooden floor where producers and sound technicians tapped their foot to the beat of the songs as they were recorded.

Greektown, which is northeast of downtown, is a quirky neighborhood that has stuck to its immigrant roots. Monroe Street in particular is lined with buildings made to resemble the Parthenon and Pegasus, and Greek music plays outdoors next to themed eateries.

Microdermabrasion takes a gentle approach to softening faces, unlike taking a hair dryer to a smug-looking snowman. Smooth things over with this Groupon.

The 40-minute basic hydrating facial begins with a skin evaluation from a licensed aesthetician. Using carefully selected Pevonia products and aromatic oils, she cleanses and hydrates the face, performing extractions if necessary. During each 15-minute microdermabrasion, the skin specialist sprays a shower of tiny crystals over the skin's surface to buff away dead cells, which allows new healthy skin to grow. The microdermabrasion includes one ear-candling treatment, which uses the low-level vacuum of a melting wax tube to draw out earwax and impurities from the ears in a 20-minute session.

Licensed aesthetician Nadine Thompson leverages a full spectrum of Pevonia natural skincare products in order to remedy dry, sensitive, and blemished skin. The 17 facials that fill out the menu target imperfections of all types—from signs of aging to skin suffering from rosacea—with aromatic oils, extractions, and masks. Microdermabrasions and chemical peels provide more intense resuscitation for faces stifled by separation-anxious skin cells, and paraben-free mineral makeup teams up with eye and lip treatments to help features mirror their revamped surroundings.

Located one block east of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, Ivy Boutique Hotel opens in May 2012 as the newest work from Arthur Minor, who designed The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. With swanky amenities including mirror televisions and theater surround sound in all guest rooms, the hotel seems poised to become one of the city’s most exclusive hotels. Although the Ivy rises up 15 stories, there are only five guest rooms per floor, providing guests with a mixture of intimacy and comfort that makes it “the only true boutique luxury hotel in the city,” according to HotelChatter.

After guests check in via iPad, hotel staff members personally escort them to 675-square-foot king suites. A paragon of modern design, the suites contain platform beds with white leather headboards and floor-to-ceiling windows that open. Eco-friendly bamboo flooring, along with organic towels and rugs made from thistle, help to reduce the hotel’s carbon footprint. Guests can watch the flat-screen TV set in the vanity mirror while getting ready in the morning or practice Tarzan-style affirmation chants in the rainforest shower.

The Ivy is also in the process of opening an intimate 30- to 40-person restaurant and bar on the first floor. "We will try to use as much organic produce as possible," manager James Cazares says of his upcoming, reservations-only hot spot. A rooftop lounge opening in June will offer picture-perfect views of the city.

Located north of downtown, Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood hugs the shore of Lake Michigan, occupying some of the city's most desirable real estate. Its reputation as an upscale residential spot dates back to 1882, when wealthy businessmen began building castle-like mansions along the waterfront. For a glimpse at these historical estates, head to the Seven Houses on Lake Shore Drive District, where you'll find a French-chateau-inspired mansion that now serves as the International Museum of Surgical Science. A walk down Astor Street reveals some of the city's most unique architecture, including the Charnley-Persky House built by Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright in 1892.

Those looking for a hip nightlife will find trendy restaurants and nightclubs—many of which are open until 5 a.m.—catering to a well-dressed crowd. For people watching and the occasional celebrity sighting, head to Rush and Division, a see-and-be-seen spot dotted with upscale shops, classic Chicago bars, and diamond-encrusted parking meters.

It’s difficult to hit a target from far away, which is why holes-in-one are rare and the Goodyear blimp has never been shot successfully with an arrow. Drive hard with a vengeance, thanks to today’s Groupon.

Seasoned aces focus on proper setup, alignment, balance, and swing length to develop consistent mechanics in clinics with a 1:3 instructor-to-student ratio. Clients may choose between three separate 60-minute lessons, or two separate 90-minute lessons. Due to the unique nature of the Full Swing clinics, it's recommended that all new students enroll in the beginners course, regardless of previous golfing experience.

Over his 30-year tenure teaching golf, founder Mark Reason has established Reason's Golf Academy locations in Michigan and Florida to spread the wisdom of his ferris-wheel swing technique. This coaching philosophy—designed to build swings that travel on a controlled, vertical axis rather than in a less dependable merry-go-round motion—serves as the unifying force in all of the Academy's instructional programs and as the building block for the development of a consistent, correctable, and windshield-friendly swing. Instructors use golf-simulator and swing-analyzer technology to scrutinize imperfect motions and weighted, molded-grip clubs and other training aids to guide clients toward proper technique. To further optimize patrons' pin-hunting prowess, the Academy offers club-fitting services, which pair clients with the clubs or modified pool noodles that best fit their unique swing profile.

Dumbbells aren't necessary to forge ripped biceps, as evidenced by the muscles Sylvester Stallone formed while throwing refrigerators at his stove. Flex your might with this Groupon.

During morning and evening boot-camp classes, instructors lead groups in 30- to 45-minute sessions of high-intensity strength, anaerobic, and flexibility exercises. Students use a wide range of fitness tools—such as dumbbells, kettlebells, and hammers—in routines that aim to torch fat, tone muscles, and prevent bones from metamorphosing into gummi worms. In addition to leading exercises, instructors provide students with a nutrition guide.

Amid the kettlebells, sandbags, and medicine balls that pack its indoor fitness studio, Boot Camp Michigan hosts high-intensity workout sessions in the mornings and evenings throughout the week. Its imaginative routines draw from four essential fitness factors—cardio, resistance, core, and flexibility—and change from day to day to thwart fitness plateaus. The program’s exercises aim to reduce fat, build muscle, and diminish stress, and accompanying nutrition guides encourage healthy lifestyles and discourage unhealthy eating habits, such as shelling shrimp while trying to parallel park.
