What is EmpireFIT?
EmpireFIT is a new program designed to inspire healthy living in Empire’s communities while strengthening connections among residents. It reflects Empire’s commitment to wellness beyond traditional approaches, integrating movement and well-being into everyday life.
Studies show that access to fitness amenities is linked to increased physical activity, improved mental health, and greater life satisfaction. That’s why Empire builds communities in well-connected locations along Atlanta’s BeltLine and the GA 400 Corridor, ensuring residents have convenient access to recreational spaces that support their well-being.
With outdoor trails, fitness studios, workout classes, and a strong sense of community, life in these neighborhoods offers more than just convenience—it encourages a healthier, more active lifestyle. Through well-connected locations, fitness amenities, and access to outdoor recreation, EmpireFIT makes it easier for residents to prioritize their physical and mental well-being.
Fitness-Friendly Communities That Keep You Moving
Wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all, and Empire’s Atlanta-area communities provide a diverse range of fitness opportunities for every lifestyle. From high-end fitness centers to outdoor group classes in nearby parks, there’s something for everyone.
Walking & Biking
Take a bike ride or a leisurely stroll along Alpharetta’s Big Creek Greenway or the Alpha Loop near our Firefly, Pinecone, and Chiswick communities. Stop for a morning coffee or smoothie at a local café or juice bar in downtown Alpharetta or Avalon, a premier shopping and dining destination. On the BeltLine, walk, bike, or rollerblade while enjoying stops at Ponce City Market for an afternoon snack from one of its many diverse food vendors.
Yoga & Meditation
Find your zen with outdoor yoga and meditation classes in scenic spots like Historic Fourth Ward Park, Westside Park, or Wills Park in Alpharetta—perfect for relaxation, mindfulness, and connecting with nature.
Fitness Clubs & Studios
From boutique studios to full-service gyms, residents have plenty of options. Check out the YMCA at Ponce City Market or take advantage of the BeltLine’s 8-mile loop of outdoor fitness stations offering everything from spin classes to strength training.
Family-Friendly Fitness
The BeltLine is a hub for active family fun, with options like bike rides, community 5Ks, and recreational sports for all ages.
Pickleball
Pickleball enthusiasts can enjoy Wills Park’s six tennis/pickleball hybrid courts or visit The Painted Pickle near the BeltLine for indoor pickleball and social events year-round.
Atlanta’s BeltLine and the GA 400 Corridor integrate these wellness-focused amenities seamlessly, making it easier than ever for residents to stay active. With pedestrian-friendly pathways, bike racks, and public transit access, residents can reach gyms, fitness studios, and outdoor activities without needing a car. Whether it’s walking to a nearby class, cycling to a yoga session, or jogging along a scenic trail, staying fit is a natural part of life here.
Green spaces like Freedom Park and The Atlanta Botanical Garden further enhance the wellness experience, offering venues for outdoor fitness classes, farmers markets, and community wellness events. These initiatives promote sustainability, environmental awareness, and a healthier way of living.
On-Site Amenities That Support Your Wellness Goals
The BeltLine is a model of sustainability, and Empire’s communities along this route — Stein Steel, Longreen, and Zephyr — echo that vision with thoughtfully designed on-site amenities that promote fitness, relaxation, and social connection.
With EmpireFIT, we’ve reimagined traditional community spaces to encourage movement and well-being. Whether you start your day with a trail run, unwind in the community dog park, meditate in outdoor green spaces, lift weights in state-of-the-art gyms, or relax with a book in the clubhouse lounge, wellness is built into every aspect of daily life.
Designed for Healthy Living
For those living along these vibrant routes, fitness is more than an aspiration—it’s an everyday reality. EmpireFIT makes it easier than ever to stay active, connect with neighbors, and embrace the energy of one of the South’s most exciting cities—a place many are proud to call home.
