Resistance training in the gym is a highly effective way to improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes.
A June 2025 meta-analysis of 20 studies with 1,397 participants shows that the right guidance, motivation, and equipment make a real difference.
Strengthen your muscles, boost your health, and see the benefits in the gym!

Some activities require advance registration via WebReg, so be sure to sign up at least a week ahead to secure your spot. Whether you’re looking to try a new class, meet fellow community members, or just enjoy being active, there’s something for everyone.
