Inspiring a Community Through Health and Wellness
COLUMBUS, Miss. – Research indicates that physical activity significantly reduces stress, and in today’s world, prioritizing mental health is paramount. This belief motivates local resident Jessica Tackett to inspire others through her passion for fitness.
For over a decade, Jessica and her husband have envisioned sharing their love for health and well-being with their community. This dream is now on the brink of realization.
Encouraging Women to Lift Weights
Often asked whether women should lift weights, Jessica finds herself responding to the outdated stereotype that weightlifting can lead to bulky physiques. She reflects, ‘We come from a time when women lifting weights was kind of a foreign concept, but now fitness has transformed.’ Her dedicated approach aims to provide female-focused workouts, emphasizing the strength benefits of lifting weights.
As women age, Jessica notes the importance of maintaining strength, motivating them to see their physical capabilities, stating, ‘It’s motivating to see them get stronger.’
A Space for All
Jessica and Wade Tackett aspire to create a fitness environment where individuals of all sizes, ages, and backgrounds feel welcome. Corey Shroeder of Arsenal Strength Equipment elaborates on their plans, ensuring accessible equipment for all body types. ‘No matter how tall, short, male, female, different body types should feel comfortable,’ he said. This all-inclusive mindset is the backbone of their initiative.
Wade shares his enthusiasm for the forthcoming gym, envisioning it as more than just a fitness facility. ‘I’m hoping the community sees this as a place to build relationships and live a better lifestyle.’
Open 24/7 for Community Support
Jessica is hopeful about opening the gym by late spring, emphasizing, ‘We want everyone to feel motivated to work out.’ The gym will be available 24/7, catering to everyone from beginners to seasoned athletes.
