Briar Woods New Weightroom



The Briar Woods High School weight room is used by a wide variety of people.  We have 7 sections of advanced PE that in some way or another will use the weight room during the school day.  Those classes are Personal Fitness (predominantly female students), Advance Weight Training, and NASM which is a class that will give students, that pass the certification criteria, a personal training certification.  The weight room is also used by all of our sports programs- just to name a few, football, Boys and Girls Lacrosse, Boys and Girls Soccer, Volleyball, Boys and Girls Basketball, Baseball, Softball, Swim and Dive, track, etc.   

These are all great problems to have except for the fact that our equipment is pushing 14+ years old and is falling apart.  This becomes a safety issue for all those who use the equipment and for the coaches and teachers that are constantly working to fix the equipment. 

Just to name a few safety concerns with the equipment: The bench arms will randomly fall or get stuck.  The squats racks will rock and if you use them for pullups you could pull them over, the rubber coating on the dumbbells are coming off.  The cable machines routinely come off the pulley system and break.  The fabric on the benches are coming off, as well as missing bolts that allow them to be stable, the platforms are coming apart, as well as the rubber bumper plates that most teams use for power cleans and deadlifts.

We believe fully that BWHS is a top notch school, not only in the county but as well in the state.  We have some of the best students and some of the best student athletes.  We feel that we have great facilities and the students, players, teachers and coaches work very hard to represent BWHS is a great manner.  We only hope to have a classroom/ weight room setting for our advanced PE classes and sports that reflects the time and energy these student-athletes deserve.
