Body Composition Testing

Understand your body and ensure your training is working for you!

The MUSC Wellness Center's Human Performance Lab provides members with the state-of-the-art equipment and certified staff to help evaluate general health and body composition. The facility utilizes the Evolt 360 body scanner and InBody 570 body composition analyzer. After an assessment is completed, a professional team member will discuss results, determine limitations, develop training strategies, and suggest programs to help best achieve your fitness and health goals.

MUSC Wellness Center takes pride in building health communities with a focus on preventative health, exercise and nutrition intervention, and effective behavior change strategies. Our fitness and clinical fitness programs support a culture of wellness for MUSC students, faculty, staff, and the Charleston community.

If you have questions about our programs for you or your family and friends, please email our Clinical Exercise Program Coordinator, Cindi Day.

• TRX Apparatus with Straps, Bands, and RIP Trainer
• Core-Tex Reactive Trainer

Aquatics

Take advantage of the many benefits of water training! 

Don't miss out on the numerous benefits of water training. The Wellness Center's beautiful 25-meter pool has seven lap lanes and a large oval for water aerobics training. Borrow swim equipment (e.g., kickboard, pull buoy and aquatic dumbbells) but make sure you bring your own towel and goggles. We offer water aerobics classes on our group exercise schedule so come try one out! 

Our master swim instructor Kathleen offers a one-time, 40-minute swimming assessment for $30 that can serve as a starting point for a beginning swimmer or to assess stroke mechanics and technique for a current swimmer. It can also serve as an opportunity to learn about and create a training plan for a swimmer wishing to participate in more advanced events.

Sports and Recreation

Sports opportunities are offered at every corner of our facility: squash, racquetball, tennis, pickleball, and basketball. Additionally, our intramural sports leagues include indoor soccer and volleyball.

You can borrow equipment at our cardio desk for paddle and racquet sports. We do ask that you make sure to return any borrowed equipment so it's ready and available for other members. 

If you would like to connect with other members of the Wellness Center for paddle and racquet sports, we use the TeamReach app. Just download the app and enter our facility code.
