Planet Fitness on Duffield St.
We just got turned onto to this hot offer from a new gym near Fulton Mall: the recently opened Planet Fitness on Duffield Street is offering you the ACT NOW deal of $29 to signup and $10 a month after that. The deal is good through Feb. 26, so you’ve got less than a week to talk yourself into doing it (ladies, two words: swimsuit season. Dudes, three words: Board short thighs).

And even though I’m the type of gal whose eyes glaze over at the word “foundation” (unless we’re talking philosophy or construction), I also love free stuff—in my vegetarian years, my most painful trial was free samples of salami.

Designer
PopUpPlus is a popup store for plus-size ladies in Brooklyn that shows up every now and then (the last one was in Williamsburg). They feature pieces from designers all over the world, and the deals go very quickly, but at the end of the store’s stay, the entire inventory can be marked down to 30-40 percent off.
