Tips to Stay Healthy from Peachtree Corners Health Professionals

Rise Fitness Peachtree Corners is a 24-hour gym with a mission to “provide the community with a place they can go to achieve serious results without being judged, bothered or nickel-and-dimed.” They cater to everyone: bodybuilders, powerlifters, strongmen and women, student athletes, Olympic lifters and people who just want to live a healthier lifestyle.

Rise has a temperature check station for people as they come in, as well as regular sanitation and social distancing protocols, as outlined by the CDC.

Jennifer King is co-owner of Rise Fitness Peachtree Corners with husband Keith and has poignant advice for residents trying to avoid the Quarantine 15 (the average 15 pounds people put on during quarantine) and maintain a well-rounded healthy outlook.

“Being healthy is the best thing to fight a virus, as well as any flu or sickness. So, we are encouraging people to come back in, get moving again, get off the couch. One guideline that I have found is to make sure that you don’t expect to come back at the same fitness level that you were at before the quarantine,” Jennifer said.

She clarified by adding, “We’ve had a few people come in and try to start back at the same level they were at, and then feeling dizzy or overexerted.”

So, take it slow, Peachtree Corners. Achieving health and wellness is a journey, not a marathon. To see if Rise Fitness is right for you, please visit risepeachtreecorners.com.

Teesha Yoga is a specialized yoga practice in Peachtree Corners that seeks to provide healthy exercise that stimulates the mind, body and spirit. Staff members are required to wear masks, and visitors are highly encouraged to do so as well — but if in a private group, participants may sign a waiver not to wear a mask. Class sizes are limited to eight people and social distancing is observed; sanitation occurs between every class.

Latesha Grant, fitness trainer and owner of Teesha Yoga, has wisdom to share about taking control of mental and physical health during the pandemic and into the future. “I would advise people that they should put in at least 15 to 20 minutes of meditation and some type of physical activity every day. Because if you’re mentally exhausted, it leads to stress which ultimately leads to overall shutdown of your body. Support the mind, your nutrition and some sort of physical activity,” she said.

A health routine of some sort, even if it only amounts to 30 minutes to one hour a day, will pay dividends for your overall health and wellness. For more information on Teesha Yoga, please visit teeshayoga.com.
