Member Announcements

We are nearly finished reopening the pool after the damage it sustained during this weekend's storm. What is not fixed, however, is the jacuzzi bench at the front of the pool. This will be out of service until further notice.

Due to the timing of the holidays and our upcoming closings, there will be no member newsletter next week. We hope everyone has a very happy holiday season this year!

Today is the final day to sign up for several, unique holiday deals centered around personal training! These are available for purchase at the front desk until we close today. You can see them all on the graphic below.

New Year, New Member promotion

If you have family or friends who have been searching for the perfect gym in the New Year, let them know about our upcoming New Year promotion for 2024 called "New Year, New Member."

This deal means that anyone who signs up for a new, annual membership - not renews their current one - will get their 12th month free. People can begin signing up starting on New Year's Day throughout the month of January at our front desk. Again this deal is for new members only, and is nonrefundable.

Don't let your loved ones miss out on the best deal of the New Year!

Below is the modified Group Exercise schedules for this week and next. As we get closer to the holidays, many of our instructors will be out of town, so many of the days will be shortened with less offerings.

Fit for All starts Jan. 22

Our specialized, high-energy program called Fit for All starts on Monday, Jan. 22!

This six-week program combines circuit style and interval training to take your fitness to the next level. It combines strength and endurance conditioning to ensure you reach your goals.

Master Trainer Chris-Ann Streeter has 29 years of experience successfully leading individuals of all fitness levels into elite athleticism, so be sure to sign up now at the front desk!

Fit for All takes place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7 - 7:45 a.m.

Better Back Program Begins Anew Jan. 29

We are excited to restart our popular clinical program - Better Back - on Jan. 29.

The goal of this program is to continue to assist anyone experiencing back pain or discomfort where surgical intervention has been ruled out as a means of alleviating the pain, back stiffness, back weakness or instability or you may have an overall lack of confidence in your back that prevents you from living an active lifestyle.

You can learn more by contacting Chrissie Wojciechowski or sign up now at the front desk!

2023-2024 MUSC Intramural Soccer

Join us for the next intramural sport of the 2023-24 season: Indoor Soccer! Submit your Team Roster today!

Competitive and recreational leagues are offered, and teams may roster players in both leagues but players can only play on one team in the same league. The competitive league has no restriction on who can be on the court/field during play while the recreational league requires a minimum number of females on the court/field at all times. Eligibility and player information can be found here.

Games will be played on Sundays from 11:00am-5:00pm at the MUSC Wellness Center Gym, and the regular season will run from November 12 – January 28 with no games during the winter break. Playoffs will be held on February 4.

Questions or don't have a team but want to play? Contact us today!

Rock Steady Boxing is a no-contact, therapeutic boxing program designed to help those with Parkinson's Disease.

This program helps with balance, strength, hand-eye coordination, and much more.

The current Fall session has started, but anyone can sign up at a pro-rated cost! Visit our website to learn more.

Beyond Therapy post-rehab program

We recently started "Beyond Therapy," our new post-rehabilitation exercise program.

We've been offering a post-rehab personal training program for over 20 years, but thanks to our colleagues at the Hollings Cancer Center and the Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program, we have given the program a new name and overall look.

Our goal is to support patients' journey to perfect well-being and provide them with knowledgeable fitness specialists, a variety of exercise options, and safe studios.

If you're interested in starting this program, you must fill out this questionnaire and get a doctor's referral. You can learn more about Beyond Therapy on our website.

SC Burn Center Donation Drive

We are proud to participate in an ongoing donation drive here at the Wellness Center in collaboration with the Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital to collect essential items for those impacted by fires.

We hope you'll take the time to look and donate as many new or lightly used items as possible for this great cause. We'll have a donation bin present in our lobby, and you can drop off as many items as you'd like.

Refer-A-Friend

Fitness is more fun with your friends!
