“We are happy to welcome Orangetheory Fitness into the Peachtree Corners business community,” said Mayor Mike Mason. “This location should serve you well as it is right across from the site of the city’s new town center which is expected to open in the fall of 2017,” the mayor told the business’s owner Nooruddin Panjwani.

With the opening of the Peachtree Corners store, Orangetheory Fitness now has nine locations in Georgia. The fitness center offers a heart-rate monitored high-intensity group training program that is broken into intervals of cardiovascular and strength. The 1-hour training classes are led by personal trainers. Participants use a variety of equipment including treadmills, Panjwani said he was introduced to the program a year ago through his son, Samir, who took his father to a nearby location to work out. “I became hooked on the classes,” said Panjwani.
