For decades NHS sports teams have used a hot, stuffy, jam packed weight that hit you immediately with the stench of sweat. Due to the renovation of the high school, NHS was able to build a new weight room that has brand new equipment, air conditioning, and tons of space. This new addition of the weight room will benefit each and every single one of the NHS athletic programs. Classes will also be held in this new weight room such as Fitness for Life, which is taught by Mr. Sherman. As NHS high school sports grow every single year, the weight room is always occupied after school.
Many students are excited about the change for the football team’s benefit.
“It is a great change from the other, old weight room we had to use my sophomore and freshman year,” Mike Borys, class of 2020, said.
As of Jan. 8, the Football and Lacrosse teams have both been using the weightroom Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to help the players get stronger and more fit.
The football and lacrosse teams are not the only ones to use the weight room, every single NHS team has access to the equipment in the weight room after school. Although, teams that are on their offseason have a higher priority than other teams. The new equipment in the weightroom is very useful. It has 8 different bench press stations, 11 pull-up bars, and two dumbbell racks in weights ranging from 5-50 pounds. The weight room also carries 5 air bikes and 6 different rowing machines that are perfect for cardio. With all the extra space in the weightroom, it is not wasted. The extra room is perfect for free workouts such as sit-ups, push-ups and planks. This new addition from the renovation will benefit NHS athletics for years and years to come.
