Get In Shape at Peak Fitness!
eak Fitness opened in October of 2007 and was the culmination of a long-time dream that I had about
owning a gym. I had started working out in high school to gain some weight and get in shape, and I just fell in love with “the iron.” The changes it made in my appearance, strength, and overall fitness were very gratifying. Like most things in life, if you work hard in the gym and are consistent, you can get

I have trained in many gyms in our area and abroad, and I have always enjoyed the social aspect, the sounds, and the encouragement you get when you see others who are working hard to achieve something. There is just an automatic bond between people who are gym-goers—a kind of camaraderie. So, as I got into real estate investing with my business partner, Mark Stanley, we started to see a need for a fitness center in Dalton. We wanted to open a gym that had the latest and greatest equipment and a motivating atmosphere that was both family-friendly and encouraged results—and the rest is history, as the saying goes. Peak Fitness is a large facility of over 23,000 feet with some of the best weight machines, free weights, and cardio equipment in Northwest Georgia. Yet, we have managed to keep that friendly, hometown atmosphere that our members appreciate. After all, it’s our members who make Peak Fitness the place to be. Peak Fitness has many classes, including Cycle, Zumba, Yoga, Pilates, and recently added Barre classes. These classes are designed to get you fit, strong, mobile, lean, and energized. For those who are serious about getting in shape or who need that extra push, we have the best trainers around. If your thing is cardiovascular fitness and fat loss, we have treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, stepmills, and a rower to help get your heart pumping and your fat melting away. Peak Fitness also offers the best weight floor around. We have many selectorized machines and lots of Hammer Strength equipment. We have free-weight bench presses and dumbbells up to 150 lb. We

Here are some practical ways to include God in your workout routine: 1. Pray before your workout, either by yourself or with your workout partner. Thank Him for the ability to move and breathe, and pray that this workout would improve your health, strength, energy, etc. 2. Pray for an opportunity to proclaim His goodness to someone and the boldness to carry it out. 3. Catch up on some Bible reading during your cardio session and pray for the people around you. 4. Thank Him for any goals reached, such as weight loss or a new personal record on the weight floor. 5. Acknowledge that without Him, you can do nothing, but with Him, all things are possible. 6. Use the truth of His goodness to ignite your willpower to live a life that is pleasing to Him in all your actions, words, and deeds. To God be the glory!
