Often associated with bodybuilders and professional athletes, strength training continues to find its way to the forefront — this time as part of overall wellness. MUSC Wellness Center knows a thing or two about health and wellness and has the highly successful programs to prove it. More specifically, they focus on women’s health and how strength training can play a significant role in improving it. It isn’t just a solution to weight management and physique alone, but an answer to having a better quality of life and a more favorable health profile. Wellness Center strength trainer and fitness coach Emily Bell explained, “Strength training is important for women for a number of reasons. It builds muscle mass, which makes it easier to burn fat and helps improve body composition. It makes bones stronger, helping to reduce the risk of diseases such as osteoporosis. It can help women feel strong and confident. It also makes everyday tasks easier and helps prevent injuries.” Open to the public, the MUSC Wellness Center meets all women’s fitness needs in one place, with the amenities you would expect at any health club —and some that elevate them a notch above the rest. Bell relayed, “We have a newly renovated weight room, a pool, any cardio machine you could want, as well as a large variety of group fitness classes. There is something for everyone to enjoy.” Stop in to explore the facility and learn about the variety of membership or guest pass options. MUSC Wellness is here for you.
