We had the good fortune of connecting with Mama Jatta and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mama, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My love for health and fitness started at a very early age. In second grade my father would do daily runs on the beach. I asked him why he would do this and he told me, “if you don’t want to be consumed by everything around you need to move around”. Growing up and watching how his routine maintained his mental and physical health to this day, it truly influenced my lifestyle. My initial thought process was the more active you are the better you’ll feel and look while providing the body with the structure to avoiding chronic illness. This mindset spawned my love for personal training

I decided to take the risk and move from Michigan to Florida to pursue my personal training license at NPTI. Once I did that I relocated to Atlanta to start my business. In addition to helping clients with their physical appearance, the goal is to help them maintain a healthier lifestyle. Growing up in Gambia our resources were not as copious as they are in the states so our dishes were typically prepared with fresh hand picked produce. Not only was this more affordable, it was food that was best for our bodies wellbeing. So on the side of training, I provide my clients with weekly meal prep and plans. As a fitness coach I want to provide all the tools to my clients to live there best healthy lifestyle.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love the outdoors so i will take my friend to one of my favorite hiking places Roswell mill to enjoy the water fall and eat out lunch, to complete the even we will stop at Teamo cafe for a cup of coffee.
