EmpowHER is an event series that provides resistance training programming designed for JMU women (students, faculty, and staff). Women have the opportunity to experience the weight room in a comfortable, educational, and open setting. The goal of EmpowHER is to provide relevant knowledge and tools needed to develop confidence in incorporating weight training into your own exercise plan.
