Real Life doesn't revolve solely around the physical—we must be well spiritually, emotionally, mentally, socially and physically.  Our mission is to teach fitness AND to counsel our students on how to be well and ready for Adversity at any time, to analyze and strategize how best to cope and conquer, and come out victorious on the other side of every Life challenge, no matter how tough it may be.  At South Carolina Fitness Corps, we coach, encourage, inspire and educate.  And the beauty of it is: our students are the very source of inspiration that feeds the whole program.   God is my strength and my refuge.  In whom shall I fear?
