Oompa, loompa, doop-a-dee-doo, I’ve got another discount for you.

At first glance, Life Time Fitness in John’s Creek exhibits parallels to the superficial “Globogym” from the 2004 Ben Stiller movie “Dodgeball” — beautiful people, beautiful spaces and an array of luxury options.

But the comparison itself is, well, shallow. Once you move past Life Time’s sparkling appearance, it’s clear even the details of the facility – from its multi-level spinning room to its two hours of free childcare to the bathing suit dryer in the locker room — have been painstakingly engineered toward busy and active families.

It’s the top end of options Atlantans face when choosing a high-end gym or fitness center. A growing segment of the fitness industry, luxury gyms cater to a variety of needs, and their amenities extend far beyond just a locker and a towel.

You’ll …

Facebook, which operates the social media platform everyone knows (845 million users), recently took one of the final steps toward going public. Once they “go public” anyone with a brokerage account will be able buy shares of the company. On Wednesday the company filed a Form S-1, which provides potential investors with basic business and financial information about Facebook. The S-1 filing signals shares will likely be offered to the public sometime in the next few months.

A close reading of the S-1 will give you much of what you need to know to make an informed decision about investing in Facebook — how much revenue it generates, operating costs, profit margins, growth expectations, etc.

But don’t get too excited just yet by the prospect of …
