Questions. Answered.

Start with the free BFS Weight Room Report Card — grade your room against the 11 BFS criteria in about a minute. The grade shows whether a remote design, an on-site consultation, or targeted equipment fixes are the right next step.

The BFS remote design ($500) creates a professional 2D floor plan from the design questionnaire you fill out plus photos and dimensions you send. The on-site consultation ($3,500, covering 1–3 schools or facilities per day) puts a BFS consultant in your buildings to measure, inventory equipment, and interview your staff in person.

Yes — the BFS shop carries 1,800+ products from 24 brands, from racks and platforms to flooring. Build is where you plan the room; every paid design ends with an itemized, purchase-order-friendly quote you can take to purchasing.

Yes. Every BFS design and consultation ends in a quote formatted for budget committees, and BFS accepts school and district purchase orders.

Fill out the BFS design questionnaire — your room dimensions, the equipment you're keeping, how many athletes train at once, and your timeline. It's free to submit with no obligation, and it's how BFS figures out whether a remote design fits your project or whether an on-site visit makes more sense.

A professional, to-scale 2D floor plan of your weight room with every station placed, plus a matching equipment list and a purchase-order-friendly quote. A photorealistic 3D render can be added for $250.

No. The remote design works from the questionnaire you fill out plus photos and dimensions you send. Schools that want a BFS coach to measure and plan in person can choose the on-site consultation instead.

Absolutely. Tell the BFS team what you have in the design questionnaire, and the design works around it — repurposing good equipment and filling the gaps.

A one-day on-site consultation is $3,500 and covers 1 to 3 schools or facilities. Concurrent additional days are $1,500 each, each covering another 1 to 3 schools — an unbeatable structure for counties and districts. Call (800) 628-9737 to scope your visit.

Each consultation day covers up to 3 schools or facilities, and concurrent days are $1,500 each — so a district can cover 6 schools in two days for $5,000 total. Districts like Baltimore County, Seattle Public Schools, and the NYC Dept. of Education have used BFS consultations across their buildings.

Two floorplans: one that rearranges and streamlines the equipment you already own for safe, efficient use, and one with recommended replacement and new equipment — auxiliary pieces, flooring, and storage options included — plus an itemized, purchase-order-friendly quote.

A one-year subscription to BFS Total Program technique and training videos for every teacher and coach who uses your weight room, including the safety FAQ series with Dr. Marc Rabinoff, an expert witness in hundreds of weight room lawsuits.

The remote design ($500) works from photos and dimensions you send. An on-site consultation puts a BFS consultant physically in your buildings to measure, inventory equipment, and interview your staff — the right call for whole schools, counties, and districts.

BFS has worked with schools and districts across the country since 1976 — from Seattle to New York City. Share your location in the request form and BFS confirms scheduling and travel logistics.

The BFS Total Program is the complete BFS strength-and-conditioning system — a unified curriculum of workouts, set-rep records, and seasonal cycles that has been the backbone of 10,000+ school and team weight rooms since 1976.

Every BFS program is included with a TeamBuildr subscription — no per-program pricing, no add-ons. Sign up and the entire BFS library — the 52-week Total Program, the 20-week Readiness Program, and every 8-week season block — appears in your account, pre-built and ready to assign.

No. Every session is pre-built in TeamBuildr: warm-ups, core lifts with set-rep schemes, speed and agility work. A coach assigns a program to the roster and it lands on every athlete's phone.

Every logged set counts. TeamBuildr keeps each athlete's set-rep records (2×10, 3×3, and so on) automatically and flags a broken record the moment it happens — the record-breaking engine BFS has run on paper since 1976, with the bookkeeping done automatically.

Yes. TeamBuildr's Weight Room View turns one wall-mounted tablet into the whole rack's station: each athlete taps in, sees their own load auto-scaled from their max, and logs with big touch targets.

No — the BFS Total Program is one system every sport runs together. The 3-day off-season and 2-day in-season variants keep multi-sport athletes on the same system at a weekly workload their schedule can hold.

Yes. The BFS 20-Week Readiness Program is the on-ramp — it teaches technique at teaching loads and builds a base before athletes load heavy, so the system scales from a first-timer to a varsity lifter.

The WRSC is the BFS credential that trains and certifies coaches, PE teachers, and staff to run a supervised, safe school weight room — covering technique, spotting, supervision, and room standards. It costs $299 per coach online.

An under-supervised weight room is a real liability. When an injury happens, the first question is whether the adult in charge was trained — and whether the school can prove it. Certification puts documented safety training on file for every supervisor.

Both. Coaches can take the WRSC online ($299, self-paced), attend a regional certification event ($399), or bring a BFS clinician to school for a full-day in-service that certifies the whole staff at once.

Be An 11 is the BFS character-education program — leadership, goal-setting, and accountability for athletes. It runs as a live seminar at your school or as a $79.99 online course broken into chapters for Health and PE classes.

The WRSC online exam is open-book: 102 questions, 90 correct to pass, with free retakes. It's designed to confirm competence, not to gatekeep — coaches who complete the video training are ready.

Access links arrive by email within two business days of ordering, and the 4 hours of training are self-paced — most coaches finish within a week.

The WRSC certificate doesn't expire. The included Online Learning Center access runs for one year — renewing at $99.95/year keeps that access as the library is updated, continues the BFS Magazine subscription, and puts annual continuing safety education on file.

Different tool. The CSCS is a career performance credential for strength and conditioning professionals. The WRSC is a safety and supervision credential for the people actually running school weight rooms — PE teachers, sport coaches, and staff who need documented safety training on file.

Yes — the WRSC In-Service brings a BFS clinician to your school for a full-day, hands-on practicum, standalone or as part of a BFS camp or clinic. Call (800) 628-9737 for department pricing.

The WRSC Certificate of Completion by email, one year of access to the BFS Online Learning Center's lift video library and Safety & Liability Manual, and a BFS Magazine subscription.
