Working Out in the New Year

Wednesday, January 14, 2015

So it’s obviously the start of a new year and with the new year comes resolutions and with those resolutions comes exercising. Gym memberships always have a boon in January and it seems that the Atlanta area is no different. I got to visit Planet Fitness in Decatur and the gym was busy. People on treadmills, stationary bikes and eliptical machines as well as working out in classes with a trainer was what I was met with when I walked through the doors. The members as well as the staff were nice and allowed me to grab a couple of shots while they exercised. I myself am on the workout kick as well. Hopefully I, like the people I met, will be able to continue the habit of getting in better shape!
