healthworks deal @ groupon

[thespian.livejournal.com]

24 visits for $24 at Healthworks

(use at multiple locations, the Porter location is in the building of the CVS, entrance next to Emack and Bolio's)

Unlike previous incarnations of this voucher, it doesn't have the MUST NEVER HAVE EVER SET FOOT IN OUR CLUB (don't even look at it) clause.

Also, you can extend that a little further by participating in their 'Open house'; free programming that's happening for the first two weeks of February: http://www.healthworksfitness.com/extras/sharethelove.php

I am really happy to see this one up: I loved Healthworks (I really wish it wasn't women-only, so I could share it with more of my friends), but can't really afford the club right now (so I go to Planet Fitness, which doesn't thrill me, but IS cheap). I was taking boxing classes at Healthworks, which were a revelation to me; I had always sort of forced myself to do classes, bored and looking at the clock. Boxing classes would end, and my first thought was always, 'awww.' :-)

others have publically thanked me in the past for doing it because no, they don't actually check the sites and instead prefer this. Which is why I keep doing it.

I haven't seen many public thanks in the LJ for some time, whereas I've received private complaints so I figured I'd finally say something. (I'm not talking about ads in your own LJ, of course.) It also doesn't come across as all altruistic given the referral bonus, and it's unclear that you'd be posting so many of them if you didn't get anything out of it.

I only get a referral bonus for groupon if someone has *never* bought anything there in the past. So I get one a week. Sometimes.

If 3 people buy a Living Social deal, yes, I get it free; the last time they did anything in Davis was Lyndell's, and I spent the day changing the code in my post so that as many Davis Square LJ people as could got the referral bonuses.

None of the other sites offer any bonus; I get nothing from them except that I've maybe saved someone some money, which I like doing; I'm forever posting stuff in my journal for people to get free things; you read my journal and should know that.

I've posted CoupMe and Qponus and BuyWithMe vouchers in the past for no reason other than to let people know when deals are offered because regardless what people think (when they could, you know, ask me instead of complaining privately to you), I really don't get much out of this.

FYI (in case this aspect wasn't more clear) people complain to me privately about things on DSLJ because I'm a mod, which probably make it feel more official.

I wasn't going to POST a thanks, but since you say something here I figure I should point out that I was happy to see this reposted as I had somehow missed it earlier this morning and it's a deal I'm interested in.

thespian isn't reposting them every day, just the good ones, from what I can tell.

But you know how many complaints you're getting and I don't, so no clue what weight I have. ;)
