Grade Your Weight Room

Every session is actively supervised by safety-certified coaches running a consistent set of programs.

Every user completes a documented safety orientation, and rules, spotting, warning and first-aid posters are visibly posted.

Every station has clear access and spotting room, floors and walls are hazard-free, and bars, plates and dumbbells have proper storage.

The room has adequate ventilation, lighting, ceiling height, and clear, unblocked entrances and exits.

Flooring is non-slip, shock-absorbing, clean and wall-to-wall — with a designated area for Olympic lifts.

Mirrors are mounted high, secured, unbroken, and positioned away from lifting activity and dumbbell racks.

Racks and benches are secured, bar catches and safety stops work, warning signs are intact, and everything is stored and tightened properly.

Cardio and cable machines are supervised, secured, labeled with warnings, and have non-slip mats and clean towels where needed.

Equipment is on a documented cleaning and maintenance schedule — no frayed cables, rust, or missing manufacturer paperwork.

Signed acknowledgment forms, orientation documents, and athlete training logs are filed and retrievable.

All coaches teach the same terminology, techniques and progressions — and athletes record their lifting numbers.
