FOCUS Fitness in Carthage is introducing a Beginners Resistance Training Program tailored specifically for those new to strength workouts. Certified trainer Patrick Baum has designed the six-week class, aiming to provide a supportive and educational environment. Sessions kick off on July 14, 2025, from 11 AM to noon, and will be held at 103 Randolph Street. Participation is capped at just six people, ensuring plenty of individual attention and guidance. Anyone interested in starting a fitness journey with professional support can find registration details or enroll on the FOCUS Fitness website.
