The ultimate weight room
This guide isn't about trends. It isn't about flashy equipment. And it isn't about chasing the "best" setup because that always depends on the sport, the athletes, the schedule, and the environment.
Instead, Alpha Fitness and Xavier Roy, Ph.D., set out to answer one clear question: "If we could design the ideal training space for team-sport athletes, what would it look like?"
Inside, you'll find the principles that actually matter for coaches in the real world: availability over ego lifting, movement quality over max load, and layouts that prioritize space, sightlines, and smart traffic flow instead of cluttered machines.
The guide walks through a complete room concept—from sprint lanes and turf to fully equipped racks and conditioning zones and shows how each square foot earns its place with real hockey and volleyball training scenarios.
Whether you're planning a new facility or upgrading what you already have, this framework helps you turn your weight room into a space that builds healthier, faster, more resilient athletes and makes every square foot count.
