Getting Healthy with Atlanta Wellness
Each week we feature a business from our hometown of Dacula. This week, learn more about Atlanta Wellness Lifestyle and Sports Fitness Center.
Located at 2108 Teron Trace, Suite 200 and started in 2007 by Dr. Todd Zeigler, is a family owned and operated local Dacula business. Dr. Zeigler is an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist. He is also the owner of Atlanta Orthopedics and head of the Orthopedic Trauma program at Gwinnett Medical Center. Atlanta Wellness is managed by his sister Beth Zeigler who I spoke to earlier this week.
Patch: What is the best part about managing Atlanta Wellness?
Beth: I like being able to work in a field that I am passionate about, building relationships with people in the community and helping them create healthy habits and make positive changes to their lives. The best part is when we get to watch people grow and change when they meet their goals.

Patch: What is the most challenging aspect of managing Atlanta Wellness?
Beth: I guess getting the word out about us. Right when we opened it wasn't a good time for the economy. It wasn’t a good time to get people to spend money on fitness and wellness because it’s a luxury expense. But we are starting to grow now.
