ATLANTA - Feeling the "Pain" at Peachtree Corners obstacle course: August is National Wellness Month — and just because you can’t afford an expensive gym membership doesn’t mean you don’t have a place to build strength and confidence. This morning on Good Day Atlanta, we spent a few hours "hanging out" (and we mean that literally…) at Fort Pain, the free outdoor obstacle course in Peachtree Corners. Yes, you read that correctly: there is a "ninja warrior"-style course made up of more than two dozen obstacles that’s open daily to anyone 18 years of age and older…for free! And it’s all located on the Town Green in Peachtree Corners, just steps away from some of the city’s top restaurant and retail destinations.
