Strength training offers a wide range of benefits that can improve both physical and overall health. By building muscle, individuals can make everyday activities — such as carrying groceries or lifting children — easier. Strength training not only enhances muscle strength, but it also burns more calories than cardio, boosts metabolism and increases energy levels. The long-term effects include replacing fat with muscle, leading to a regular caloric burn, making it an essential part of a well-rounded fitness routine.
For fitness enthusiasts, strength training is particularly important. It helps them understand their body’s muscles and functions, balancing muscle use and promoting overall health. As people age, muscles and bones tend to deteriorate, but developing strength early helps prevent this decline and increases longevity. Fitness enthusiasts can maintain their activity levels well into old age by incorporating resistance training.
Planet Fitness Mount Pleasant recently added new, best in-class strength equipment, including plate-loaded supine bench press, hack squat and seated calf machine. These additions complement the club’s existing fitness options and support a variety of workouts. Classes led by a certified fitness trainer are available to help members become comfortable using the new equipment.
Planet Fitness Mount Pleasant, a staple in the community, is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this January, alongside Club Manager Grace’s milestone.
