It is time to begin another year, which means a fresh start.
They say it takes an average of 60 days to form a habit which means there is no time to waste starting your news years resolutions. Thankfully, Gwinnett has everything you need to accomplish your resolutions. Whether you want to get fit, focus on self care, eat healthier, shop small or learn something new, we've got you covered.
Get Fit
If you are looking to get in shape, visit one of Gwinnett's 44+ public parks. Each park has unique offerings and beautiful scenery. Most parks have trails for you to run, walk and bike on. There are even equestrian trails and disc golf courses. The best part? It is completely free!
Check out our Guide to Gwinnett Parks which will help you decide which park is the best for you.
Self Care
Did you know Gwinnett has its own Korean traditional bath house and spa that has been featured on numerous television shows? Jeju Sauna is located in Duluth and they offer all types of body masks, treatments and massages. They charge one flat rate for 24-hours entry and then you pay for individual treatments. No reservations needed. First come, first served. They even have an eatery inside!
If you are new to this concept and need a little guidance check out a recent article we posted by a local journalist who tried Jeju for the first time.
Eat Healthier
