Weight Room Design · High school to collegiate
Design the room around the work.
Designed by a coach, not a catalog rep.
An equipment rep sells you equipment. I design the room for how your athletes actually move through it, because I'm the guy running the session at six in the morning when a bad layout costs you ten minutes and a rack sits empty. Five steps, in this order.
- 01
The walk-through
Footprint, ceiling height, flooring, doors, power and where the light comes in. Photos and a floor plan get us most of the way; the rest I'll ask about.
What you get · You know exactly what the space can hold before anything is ordered.
- 02
How you train
Roster size, how many groups, which sports share the room, how long a session runs. A room is designed around the clock: sixty athletes through a lift in fifty minutes is a layout problem before it's an equipment one.
What you get · The room fits your schedule instead of fighting it.
- 03
Layout & racks
Rack design, platform count, spacing and flow lanes, where the turf goes, where the dumbbells live, where a coach stands to see every bar.
What you get · Nobody waits on a rack and nobody lifts where you can't see them.
- 04
Sourcing to budget
What to buy, what to skip and where the money actually matters. I've run a department budget and the vendor relationships that come with it, so the list fits the number you have.
What you get · Every dollar is spent on something your athletes will use.
- 05
The finish
Color-matching to your program, logos, and the install order, so the room looks like yours and is ready to train in on day one.
What you get · Recruits walk in and see a program, not a catalog.
Any Size Room
High school
A first rack, a garage-sized space, or a booster-funded build. Done right the first time so you're not ripping it out in three years.
One platform to a full roomCollege
Multi-sport rooms that serve football at six in the morning and every Olympic sport after. The kind of room I coach in every day.

Any space where a roster trains together and the flow of the session matters as much as the steel.

the space.
Every room is scoped before it's priced. Send me these four things and I'll come back with what the space can be and what it takes to get there.
