With every new year comes a list of resolutions that at times can seem, well, impossible. We’ve all been there – “I’m going to do a triathlon,” “I’m going to cook at home five times a week.” So, for those of us that need a little help sustaining our resolutions, we’ve put together a list of local Acadiana businesses that will help you and the entire family stay fit, feel your best, and organize your life.
So instead of trying to conquer the unconquerable, (i.e. working out seven days a week or becoming a master chef) look to these businesses for resolutions you’ll actually be able to keep.
You can find these local spots on Towny – your hub for business deals in Acadiana that makes it easy for you to shop local and get rewarded. P.S. – if you want Towny on your phone, don’t forget to download the Towny app!

Nourish your body with food and drinks from Tribe Collective, a shared space occupied by Emerge – an artisan juicery, and Mortar & Pestle – a gluten free cafe, bakery, and bistro.

Tribe Collective is your one-stop shop for healthy and nourishing food and drink items.
Healthy eating doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice taste. At least not at Fit Blendz, a nutrition cafe serving up healthy, low-calorie smoothies, wraps, and sandwiches. But it doesn’t stop there, Fit Blendz offers a wide selection of supplements, like amino acids, stabilizers, pre and post workout supplements, and more! Fit Blendz knows that choosing the foods and supplements that are right for you can be daunting. That’s why they offer one-on-one consultations, tailored meal plans, work out plans, and supplement guidance.
Get specialized help at Neighbor’s Pharmacy, providing custom compounding for medications prescribed by your doc that you can’t get at a regular pharmacy.
