Wellness center at WVU Medicine Berkeley Medical celebrates 20 year anniversary
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. – The Wellness Center at WVU Medicine Berkeley Medical Center is celebrating its 20 year anniversary. Since opening its doors in the fall of 1999, it has doubled in size and expanded services to meet the needs of the community.
The Center, located in the Dorothy A. McCormack Center on the Berkeley Medical Center campus, has undergone several updates and added equipment over the years. In fact, it is currently undergoing renovations for a new, fresh look.
At the heart of The Wellness Center is the staff and members. Members often comment that they feel comfortable, safe and at home in the facility. The Center’s highly qualified, degreed and certified staff have over 100 years of combined experience in the fitness and wellness field.
“We strive to offer comprehensive fitness and wellness services in an atmosphere that is inviting and makes our members feel at home,” Brent Garrett, center director, said. “Our programs are designed to meet the individual needs of our members to assist them in meeting their health and wellness goals.”
The Wellness Center was proudly the first and only fitness facility in the area to offer the Technogym System, an advanced type of fitness equipment made in Italy. The system allows staff to design a customized fitness program that is then loaded on a special key. This allows members to easily track their individual fitness goals.
In addition to the Technogym equipment, the Center also offers a variety of fitness classes along with health and wellness programs. Personal training sessions are also offered for an additional fee.
On Oct. 7, The Wellness Center will be holding an open house from 4 until 7 p.m. for anyone interested in learning more about the Center. Tours will be offered, staff will be available to discuss membership options, and information will be available on other special offers for the month of October.
Refreshments, prize drawings, 30 minute trial aerobics classes and various free health screenings will also be available during the anniversary celebration open house. Membership specials will be offered the entire month of October. “We will waive the enrollment fee for new members and each will receive a gift when joining,” Garrett said.
