I believe the other issue with Groupon would be the volume.  I know of a gym 
here that did Groupon, they sold a !,000 of them.  I met a hairdresser who sold 
400.  Those kind of numbers would seriously displace existing clients.  It's a 
great concept, but definitely not for me.....a sole proprietor working out of 
my little home studio!
