Throughout the week, Knockout CrossFit’s 12,000-square-foot facility is abuzz with the clatter of weights and kettlebells and the raspy chorus of patrons striving intensely toward fitness goals. A crew of instructors certified by CrossFit leads adults of all levels of fitness through CrossFit classes and boot-camp sessions. After helping groups loosen up with stretching exercise, CrossFit instructors lead students through the system's signature workout of the day, an ever-changing exercise that is scaled to each participant's fitness level. Their hardcore cardio classes boost heart rates and core strength with a regimen dedicated to increasing both power and agility, and their kickboxing classes blend moves from MMA, karate, boxing, and muay thai that help exercisers hone speed while simultaneously bolstering confidence. The trainers also help youth bolster speed, conditioning, and techniques in an athletic program. In lieu of monotonous cardio machines, each course works with the facility’s abundance of ropes, rings, free weights, and kettlebells, and the open floor leaves ample space for running, jumping, and gesturing how big you want your muscles to be.

The history of today's Atlanta Braves traces back to 1876 in Boston, where the team played as the Red Stockings. In the more than 100 years since, the club lived like a nomadic tribe, claiming two World Series titles in separate cities before finally landing in Atlanta in 1966. There, they found reason to settle down, winning an unprecedented 14 consecutive division titles, as well as another World Series in 1995. Throughout the years, many of baseball's all-time greats have donned the Braves uniform, including Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, and Cy Young. Opened in 1997, Turner Field serves as the club's home turf, relaying the action on a 29'x38' BravesVision video board as a 27' neon tomahawk menaces visiting players and vegetables alike.

Donna Angel loves music. Her passion has led her to perform with a case of food poisoning—with the help of a pre-med student to hold her up until the curtain fell—and it led her to break into a Texan church to use its piano. In fact, her life has revolved around music, and since it led her to joy, she created a way for music to impact the lives of others just as much. Nearly three decades ago she founded the Capitol City Opera Company—an outlet for local singers to display their aria-exploring skills while taking on some of history’s favorite works.
