Trained and certified instructors lead challenging, effective and safe workouts by emphasizing good form, utilizing motivating music and challenging participants to push just a little harder. Group exercise classes are an opportunity to develop camaraderie and rapport with fellow enthusiasts. The flow and energy of a group class motivates participants to push a little harder and finish stronger. Finding a class you enjoy increases the likelihood that you will keep coming back. But did you know behind every class is research, science, preparation and a team to ensure your success? The MUSC Wellness Center has the largest group exercise program in the greater Charleston area. After taking over a phenomenally successful group exercise program, James Johnson – a highly-awarded 39-year veteran of group exercise and former national aerobic club champion – made establishing continuing education for group exercise his priority. His dedication to the program has allowed the Wellness Center to: • Train and hire preeminent instructors from across the country; • Develop and promote numerous MUSC-branded classes such as “Cardio Power Hour,” “Strength & Conditioning,” and “Movement & Mobility”; • Launch national platforms with a high level of success.
