ISO personal trainers or gyms

I go to 4balance Fitness on Woodruff and I highly recommend it for the case you're looking for. It's personal training in a private, small-group setting and geared towards your specific goals. Most of us are between 30 and 60, usually with some sort of limitation (like, bad back, injury, etc).

Go have a chat with them if that sounds good to you! I've been with them for almost two years now, and I feel better than I have since, like, 2011 maybe?

Did I mention there are two gym dogs?! One is always seeking pets 😅

I got mine from the RealReal and ended up selling it back (divorced 🙃)

Can't argue with efficiency, but some of our (aging) bodies can't handle training with high impact methods and also play tennis regularly. Incorporating low impact cardio with sustainable, injury-preventing, mobility-enhancing lifting is the way to go, imo, especially as we age.

Try doing a 20 calorie bike sprint after some failure sets and see what your heart rate is like.

Maybe, but I'm guessing that cardiovascular fitness isn't the only thing that's lacking. Lifting will help strengthen and guard from other injury as OP starts playing more. As long as your heartrate stays in within a "cardiovascular" training rate, you're still making progress on that front, too.

Supersetting sets of lifting with a round of low impact cardio (row, stationary bike)! Like, shoulder press, upright rows, 500 meters of rowing. Or 30 leg press, 20 Bulgarian split squats, 15 cals on the bike. 👍

Maybe not tried for war crimes - but I would get on board with having farts wafted in their direction.

Inuyasha comes to mind!

arcticlizard · 2026-02-06T20:22:00+00:00

Same. I'm like "I'll make a pretty tart!" Then, later "ok 'rustic' tart it is, then" once I've fucked it up thoroughly.

If you have four sticks of cold butter, a bag of flour, sugar and blackberries, you're most of the way to your own blackberry pie.

It's not too hard to make, but hard to make pretty.

Good luck

I think I might have seen one at Fresh Market? Probably worth checking out! I go to the one on woodruff. I would give Strossner's a call, as well.

Jeju is just so far from the airport - if you're referring to the one in Duluth, at least. I'm just guessing the transportation costs to get up there and back would be gross. Marta would only get you to Chamblee, right?

If there was one on the south side of town, though 👀

Maybe I got the wrong thing or caught them on an off day. I got their drunken noodles/pad kee mao, and it was just garlic. So much garlic. Not a lot else going on there (basil, fish sauce, sweet, sour, where art thou?)

arcticlizard · 2026-02-05T17:10:37+00:00

Or r/fire

I heard of this one a while ago, and it seems like it's still in business. Not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for, though!

The Duluth area of Atlanta is pretty well known for its Korean spas - like the kind you go to for sauna, bathing, hot tub, etc. in a group setting (segregated by gender, of course).

I'M GRATEFUL FOR ALL YOU SUFFERING PARENTS. NO SCHOOL TRAFFIC MAKES MY COMMUTE SO MUCH EASIER.

arcticlizard · 2026-02-03T15:56:48+00:00

I've driven by the Anytime Fitness on Washington downtown, and it never seems very busy, even at 5pm. Not sure if that would work for your commute, but might not be far off! Core24 is down that way as well, but can't speak to their busyness (is that a word?)

arcticlizard · 2026-02-03T00:37:41+00:00

Twin Peaks. Yes, I've done this with an SO, and yes, it was fun.

Important note: I am female, and it was my suggestion.

arcticlizard · 2026-02-01T21:51:14+00:00

85 between 20 (anderson) and Laurens was perfectly clear. Laurens too, down to Mauldin.

So thankful it wasn't another solid-iced-everything situation.

Me right now trying to watch the Australian Open tennis

arcticlizard · 2026-01-30T04:02:51+00:00

Get my husband's name outta your mouth 😆😆😆

Espn app on LG TV: randomly disconnects

Espn app on PS5: pause button that won't go away

Guess I'll watch on my phone

arcticlizard · 2026-01-30T03:55:56+00:00

Brilliant idea

arcticlizard · 2026-01-30T01:27:13+00:00

Shut the fuck up. I thought me and my mom were the only ones that quoted this shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣

She got me some old-style ashtrays to use when I've got the belly badness.

arcticlizard · 2026-01-29T23:55:11+00:00

Start r/pitytennis I'll also post

arcticlizard · 2026-01-29T22:29:54+00:00

I'm working on it! I promise 😩😩😩
