Weight room design

Weight room designfor coaching whole teams.

A strength room has to move a full squad through a session safely and on time. We lay out high school weight rooms and university strength centers around coaching flow, platform counts and team identity, and specify equipment built for heavy daily use.

Frequently asked questions

How many racks does a high school weight room need?

It depends on the largest group a coach runs at once and the program. We work backward from team size, session length and exercises to set the number of racks and platforms and the spacing between them.

Can you add our school colors and logo?

Yes. Custom rack colors, logo platforms, color-matched plates, upholstery and wall graphics are a standard part of our weight room designs.

Can you produce renderings for fundraising?

Yes. Photorealistic renderings and walkthrough films are part of the design phase and are well suited to board approvals and donor campaigns.

Do you handle equipment purchasing?

We specify equipment across every major manufacturer and facilitate procurement on your behalf, including coordination with your purchasing rules and the installation schedule.
