The Smokey Mountains, Dollywood, and My Trip To The Fit Factory

Every year my family takes a trip to the Smokey Mountains. We usually stay at a great cabin somewhere in Seiverville TN., just right outside of Pigeon Forge.

I love going on vacation, but I hate being off the mats for a week. Missing out on training for that long really puts you behind. It doesn't help that while I am on vacation I eat everything that I am not suppose to and do not get any real excercise. This last vaction I found a hidden gem about two miles from our cabin.

After going to Dollywood and eating so many amazing things, lounging around the cabin playing pool, and soaking in the hot tub, I was missing being in the gym. I searched around on the internet for a local place that would allow me to come in and burn off some energy. That's when I found Gene Click, owner of The Fit Factory.

I sent him an email and he invited to come in and check them out. I am always nervous when I go into a new gym. Sometimes you don't get a very warm welcome. That was not the case at The Fit Factory. They welcomed me just like they had known me my whole life. I felt just as comfortable being there as I would if it had been my gym.

The facility is clean,the classes were informative, and the people were friendly. I know I met people there that I will call my friend for life.
