Hey all, wondering what grants or programs you have used to improve the weightroom? How have y’all reached out to local colleges to get old equipment? TIA

Hey all, wondering what grants or programs you have used to improve the weightroom? How have y’all reached out to local colleges to get old equipment? TIA The best find I ever got ahold of was some used racks from a much larger HS at a used equipment fitness store. Bought 2 for $250 each in 2010. They are still in the weight room at the school I worked at. |

I've also had a lot of luck finding stuff on Facebook Marketplace for my own basement gym. You gotta be kind of patient though to wait for what you want and in the price range you want to pay. And then, there are some real douchers on there too.
I know that getting stuff from other schools can be a bit dicey as there's some liability issues and such. One local school threw their entire weight room away because their lawyer said they'd be liable if they gave it away and someone got hurt. Weights, bars, racks, dumbells, etc. This was a couple years before I got the space for the home gym or you can guarantee I'd have been dumpster diving that place.

Our welding class built almost everything in our weight room. And a local guy covered the benches. One set of racks is super narrow but works for younger kids.

Who or what is "Confused Nick Young"? It’s that meme of the really confused guy. He plays/played in the NBA. His face is kind of saying WTF. |
