New Weight Room

Westminster’s weight room’s environment has changed dramatically to that of its predecessor. Going from less than 2,000 square feet to 3,300 square feet has been quite an improvement, and with many brand new pieces of equipment, the weight room not only gives students more opportunity to workout but also an overall better experience for users of the facility. According to Mr. Schall, PE chair, the room gives students a better environment to workout with lots of windows, brighter colors, new equipment, and more space. Weight room equipment includes 8 racks, 4 Olympic platforms, 5000 lbs of rubber encased free weights, and assorted cardio and selectorized machines. Schall believes that this better environment gives students more beneficial attitudes when in the weight room which makes for a more profitable workout. Schall says that the one thing that students tend to overlook in the weight room is how to use the large space efficiently. He says that the larger amount of space, new high-quality equipment, larger quantity of equipment, and persistent attention to minor details has changed his mindset every time he enters the room.
