Bryan Batson/Atlanta Gas Light

Atlanta Gas Light provides American, abundant and affordable natural gas efficiently to 1.5 million Georgians. They’ve been a trustworthy source of safe, clean energy — and a constant partner to almost 200 counties they serve throughout Georgia — since they installed the City of Atlanta’s first natural gas streetlights more than 150 years ago.

Today, AGL is the eighth largest natural gas distribution utility in the United States and the largest in the Southeast. In Georgia’s deregulated natural gas market, AGL does not sell natural gas to customers. Instead, AGL operates and maintains the infrastructure that delivers reliable natural gas to customers of certified natural gas marketers.

R.E.C.E.S.S. Programs is the only branded programs that offers health clubs of all sizes the ability to serve multiple generations simultaneously. They do this by seamlessly integrating youth and older adult programming into the fabric of the facility, without compromising the integrity of the club… but instead enhancing it.
