Kandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks and Sheree Whitfield, three of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” hit the gym last night.
The ladies weren’t there to pump iron but to strut their stuff.
The occasion was the VIP pre-opening fete for Urban Active Buckhead, an upscale fitness center at 3535 Peachtree Rd. The 40,000 facility is tricked out with training areas and indoor tracks, 115 pieces of cardio equipment, a free weights floor, along with a fully supervised kids’ playroom with computer and gaming stations, movie viewing area, basketball court and even a nursery.
Urban Active plans a community grand opening from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday if you’d like to check it out. They’re planning more celeb visits from noon to 1:30 p.m., with actress Jasmine Guy confirmed to stroll the red carpet.
Others on the list include Atlanta Falcons player Harry Douglas, former Falcon Jamal Anderson, former Baltimore Ravens player Daniel Wilcox, singer Brandi D, actor Chris Tavarez and 107.9 FM personalities Jazzy McBee and DJ Scream. We’re also told that organizers are trying to confirm Chris Klein and Thomas Ian Nichols, who are here shooting “American Reunion” and would like to attend if their filming schedule permits.

these ladies would show up at the opening of a door… just not sure why they would drive so far into “town” to do so. I don’t know why they call it the real housewives of atlanta… they should call it the real housewives of OTP Atlanta… LOL!

Newsflash… you can go or not go. For some of you it sounds as if you have unresolved race relations issues. Blacks live work and pay taxes in Atlanta- get over it. I can’t wait to tour Urban Active! Congratulations on the grand opening…and yes, a different marketing strategy would have served you well

Good comment Fit ATL Housewife. There truly is a lot of racism (ant-black) comments in this blog–and in response to a lot of Jennifer Britt’s other columns. Jennifer, you should more closely monitor comments. My educated prediction: Sooner or later, your higher ups at the AJC will give you the message if you don’t. And I am a white guy.

Got to watch Phaedra Parks as a judge at a battle of the bands. The woman is an idiot.

Looks like the LA Fitness sales staff spent a little time in the comments section of this story.
