Residents Can Jump Start New Year's Resolution at J3 Academy & Fitness

New Year’s resolutions to be healthier are in full swing; have you starting working on yours yet?

If not, Milton residents are encouraged to come to J3 Academy and Fitness when Better Together, the city’s citizen volunteer committee, will hold its first business connection event of 2015.

This free event will take place from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31 at J3 Academy and Fitness, located at 13695 Alpharetta Highway. The entire community is invited, said Wayne Boston, community builder for the city of Milton.

“Each of these events creates new connections,” he said. “Whether its health, food or fashion, we’re trying to bring something for everyone.”

Cara Novelli, a local middle school teacher, co-founded the business in 2014 to serve as a place for families to learn self-defense and have fun working out. Jamie Williams, co-founder and primary instructor, has practiced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over ten years.

“This event will be an opportunity for Milton residents to see Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, kickboxing, bootcamp conditioning and women’s self-defense demonstrations and learn more about our one-of-a-kind, community-centered business,” Novelli added.

Additionally, the first 10 attendees will receive one free month of membership (a $150 value). There will be drawings for J3 Academy and Fitness tees and hats, boxing gloves, wraps and a uniform for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Businesses in Milton are encouraged to contact Boston at 678-242-2512 or wayne.boston@cityofmiltonga.us if they would be willing to host an event in order to introduce their particular product or service to our residents. Better Together will then work with the business to plan an event that will be educational, productive and enjoyable to all.
