I quit my afternoon coffee. Not because I wanted to — because I found something better.

You know that wall you hit every day around 2–3 PM? I used to just accept it as the cost of doing anything. Another coffee, a quick spike, then the crash — and somehow I'd still feel dehydrated by dinner.

Then I tried X·E Fountain, Pique's brand-new electrolyte energy drink, and I genuinely wasn't ready for how good "no crash" could feel.

No caffeine jitters. No 4 PM slump. Just clean, steady energy that actually hydrates me instead of draining me. It's built with a premium Vitamin B Complex for natural cellular energy, Magnesium Malate + Taurate for real focus, and a full electrolyte blend that makes it feel like a treat, not a chore.

The cucumber-celery-lime flavor is so crisp and refreshing — it's basically stolen my afternoon coffee slot completely.

A defense and public-safety training technology company has officially opened its new headquarters and production facility in south Forsyth. InVeris Training Solutions celebrated the opening of its facility at 1320 Ridgeland Parkway with a ribbon-cutting on September 17. The company develops live-fire ranges, virtual weapons systems and simulation technology used by military, law-enforcement and other public-safety customers. InVeris’ own website now lists the Ridgeland Parkway location as its corporate headquarters and says the move provides the company with expanded space, resources and capabilities as it continues to grow. The company also relocated its Caswell live-fire division to a separate facility in Duluth. The move adds another advanced-manufacturing and defense-technology employer to south Forsyth’s commercial base.

Snap Fitness is preparing to open its first Forsyth County location at 1485 Peachtree Parkway, taking over the former Workout Anytime space. Snap Fitness’ official Cumming page is already advertising founder memberships ahead of the opening. The gym will operate 24/7 for members and plans to offer strength and cardio equipment, certified personal training, a dedicated recovery area, infrared saunas, locker rooms and a functional-training and turf space. Snap also identifies Jack Ryan, a Cumming resident who already operates two other Snap Fitness locations in the region, as the owner of the new gym. The location fills an existing commercial space along Peachtree Parkway and brings another national fitness chain into the south Forsyth market. An official opening date has not yet been posted.

Back Nine Golf recently marked the opening of its Cumming location with a ribbon cutting at Cumming City Center. The indoor golf business is located at 451 Vision Drive, Suite H105 and gives members 24/7 access to high-tech golf simulator bays. Back Nine says players can use the simulators to practice, take lessons or play virtual rounds on courses from around the world, regardless of weather or time of day. The Cumming location officially opened earlier this summer and has now been added to both Back Nine’s national location list and the Cumming City Center directory. The company offers several membership tiers, along with public tee-time booking and tournament play. The concept adds another entertainment option to Cumming City Center, after the opening of Tavern off the Green, which also had its grand opening recently.
