There is a

new store in Fayetteville for people out there who enjoy exercising and

staying fit but have difficulties finding the time to go to a gym. Home

Bodies, located by the Barnes and Noble and Kinko's in Fayetteville, is

a one stop shop for those who would like to put exercise equipment or

a home gym into their house.

The idea for

the store came from James Roth and his wife, Teri. James has been in the

health and fitness industry for 25 years, serving as a personal trainer

and a dietitian. He has been involved in comeptitive bodybuilding since

the age of 16. Before opening his store, people interested in purchasing

the top of the line exercise equipment would have to drive north of Atlanta,

well over an hour away.

"Exercise

is important," said James Roth. "The New England Journal of

Medicine recently polled over 20,000 people and found that those who exercised

on a regular basis lived longer. Exercise needs to be a part of your life."

Home Bodies

offers many different exercise machines and can give each customer exactly

what they would like in a home gym. There are elliptical machines, stationary

racing bikes, treadmills, and cardio and full body workout machines, as

well as punching bags, free weights and more. They can even mount a television

in the room you are planning to work out in.

"With

a home gym, there can be no more excuses for not working out," explained

Roth. "You won't have to worry about going out in bad weather or

using sweaty machines."

Home Bodies

will have their grand opening this Saturday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
