June marks the celebration of Men’s Health Month, a time dedicated to promoting the importance of health and wellness among men. In line with this, the BMC Wellness Center is excited to feature the Men’s Strength Class, an invigorating and supportive fitness session led by the ever-encouraging Robin Birchfield. Meeting every Tuesday and Thursday at 9:00 a.m., this class could be the next great addition to your week!
Robin Birchfield facilitates a vibrant energy in the Men’s Strength Class, which typically sees 4-5 men in attendance. There is no age restriction, making it accessible for men of all stages in life. The class’s primary goal is to enhance strength, mobility, and overall wellness while fostering a strong sense of community among its participants.
The atmosphere in the class is fun, playful, friendly, and brimming with community spirit. Robin starts each session with warmups to get everyone loose, gradually moving into light weight exercise supersets. These routines include essential exercises such as deadlifts, squats, bicep curls, and various upper body workouts. Throughout the class, Robin’s encouragement resonates with the participants as she cheers them on to challenge themselves, reminding them that “challenge is change.”
Michael Mack, a regular attendee, shared what he loves most about the class, highlighting the camaraderie it fosters. “The camaraderie with the people, getting to know the people in the community. Everybody comes out and we just laugh and have a good time working out. That’s a good part about it for me,” Michael said, emphasizing the social and motivational aspects of the sessions.
As BMC Wellness aims to boost attendance and community awareness of the Men’s Strength Class, June serves as the perfect opportunity to highlight its benefits. To further celebrate Men’s Health Month, Bess Russell will be at the BMC Wellness Center on Thursday, June 20, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., offering valuable information on men’s health and wellness. Men who stop by to have their blood pressure checked or use the In-Body machine will be entered into a drawing for a prize.
Joining the Men’s Strength Class not only contributes to physical health but also enriches the spirit through a sense of belonging and mutual support. This June, take the step to prioritize your health and well-being by becoming a part of this empowering community at BMC Wellness.
