Healthy Living as a Way of Life

January 24th, 2025

We believe in a healthy lifestyle, from eating right and exercising to connecting with others and building relationships. And, we have the amenities to promote it, with more set to open Spring 2025. Miles of picturesque trails weave through our community for residents to jog, bike, hike, or simply stroll. Our numerous parks, playgrounds, multi-purpose athletic fields, and green open spaces are perfect for yoga, picnics, pick-up games, or playing catch with the kids. For water enthusiasts, the lakes here at Carnes Crossroads invite you to fish and bird watch, while the lap pool is ideal for getting in shape with swimming and aquatic exercise.

Wellness Center at Carnes Opening Spring 2025

Spring is on the way and the seeds we planted to bring residents a more active outdoor life are beginning to sprout. Our community is growing and, with it, the opportunities to live a healthier life. The Wellness Center will soon cater to fitness enthusiasts of all kinds — runners, cyclists, weightlifters, and practitioners of the yoga and meditation arts.

After a strenuous workout or group fitness class, our upcoming resort-style pool will be the perfect place for jumping in and cooling down, or enjoying the serenity that only a poolside chaise lounge can bring. For lovers of sports, our new basketball, pickleball, and tennis courts will provide the opportunities and the motivation to connect with the outdoors and each other.

These exciting new amenities are taking shape and set to open Spring 2025. It won’t be long before they create more fun and motivating ways for residents to connect, grow together, and live their healthiest lives.

Wellness is a Group Effort

Healthy living at Carnes Crossroads means more than just having access to amenities — it’s also about embracing a culture of wellness. The SWEAT Wellness and Happy Hikers clubs are good examples. These groups offer residents opportunities to connect with their neighbors, reach fitness goals, and make that journey toward a healthier lifestyle together.

Residents look forward to attending our Fourth Fridays Farmers’ Markets April – October, where they can stock up on healthy and organically-grown produce to create delicious meals at home in their gourmet kitchens. This year they will have access to produce grown on The Farm, right here in Carnes Crossroads, while continuing to have access to locally sourced goods.

Seasonal events, such as our popular outdoor yoga classes and fitness boot camps, also make the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle a group effort. Living healthier and reaching fitness goals is always easier with the support of friends and neighbors.

Your Fitness Journey Can Take You Places

The journey to healthier living often takes residents to nearby Charleston, which is just a short trip away and offers abundant options for eating healthy and working out. For nutritious dining, visit the Basic Kitchen, where you’ll find plentiful local produce, wild-caught seafood, and sustainably raised meat. At Verde, you’ll enjoy produce fresh from the farm, made-from-scratch dressings, and organic ingredients. For staying active and fit, Holy Cow Yoga has been voted Charleston’s best yoga studio 18 years running and Hylo Fitness has been voted best fitness studio every year since 2018. For outdoor enthusiasts, the trails and green spaces of Hampton Park are popular spots for jogging, hiking, fitness classes, and cycling.
