InCharge Fitness Center is a fitness center that is part of MedSave Family Pharmacy and Wellness Center in Bemidji, MN.
Richard Chernugal, Owner of MedSave Family Pharmacy has been in the pharmacy business for almost 30 years. Over the years, Richard has seen and continues to see many customers that are on medications which can be decreased or even eliminated through making positive lifestyle choices. Richard himself is a testimonial to the benefits of fitness and nutrition as he has lost around 60 lbs in a little over a year by changing his diet, and engaging in physical activity. He wants to help people feel better through lifestyle choices rather than by handing them a bottle of pills.
In July of 2010 a MedSave wellness committee formed to create InCharge Fitness along with an individual wellness program and corporate wellness program. InCharge Fitness opened in February of 2011 and has been continually growing.
Our mission: “Empowering individuals to be InCharge of their own healthy lifestyle!”
How is InCharge Fitness Center different than other gyms and health clubs?
InCharge Fitness is based around the concepts of personal attention, accountability and a comfortable atmosphere. Our strength andresistance machines are setup in small rooms which benefits those who are intimidated from others watching them or who are new to exercise. We have an exercise physiologist on staff who meets with each person when they sign up to help them with goal setting and show them a routine of exercises that will help them reach their goals. Our staff members show you how to use all of the equipment
and are available to help you when needed. We also offer weekly group classes that are free to InCharge Fitness members.
We encourage you to come tour InCharge Fitness and meet our friendly staff!
