Employee Wellness

Wednesday April 25 is the day to explore free fitness activities. The Wellness Center will offer free classes and tours all day for employees who bring their MUSC badge to the membership desk.

Employees may take a class, work out in the weight room, try out cardio equipment, run the track or swim some laps. The center also is waiving its $50 sign up fee for employees who sign a yearly contract on April 25. Enrollment is $45 per month.

There will be a Fitness Fest! in front of the Colbert Education Center & Library from noon – 1 p.m. It will start with a half hour of Zumba, a Latin fitness dance class, followed by an exercise bands class that features desk stretches to relieve stress. Homespun Hoops will be presenting moves with handmade hula hoops at 12:45 p.m. There will be hoops available for demonstration and sale throughout the event. Food trucks also will be on hand.
