Pumping iron at the University of Kansas has become a little easier thanks to a new weight room in Robinson Center scheduled to open today.
Robinson adds new weight room
By Brenden Sager Kansan staff writer
Bob Lockwood, facilities director at Robinson, said that he decided to take one of the racquetball courts and use it for a new weight room. The present facilities were too crowded, he said.
The new weight room will offer machine weights only — no free weights. It will have the advantage of being available to students and staff for the entire time Robinson is open.
"We're jammed in here," he said. "The problem is that there's so much demand of equipment."
The cost of the weight room is assessed with the amount of labor by the department of health, physical education and recreation's maintenance staff, Lockwood said. The renovation didn't
require extra funding but was part of the department's budget.
But the cost of operating the weight room is likely to be more. Lockock said that he had not yet decided how the weight room would be supervised but that it would be by a student.
"We're always hiring students around here," he said.
The other weight rooms were restricted for class use from about 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Lockwood said.
The reason Robinson needed more space for weights was because some machines were moved into the hallway after thousands of dollars of new equipment had been purchased last year. Lockwood said it was unsightly and dangerous.
The new weight room replaces one of the 15 racquetball courts. Lockwood said that he chose one of the courts on the lower level because it was the least used by KU students and staff.
"That was the least desirable court we had," he said. "Now we're making better use of the
space."
He said that as a racquetball court, only four people at a time could use that entire space. The new weight room can accommodate about 20 people on 16 exercise machines, three exercise bikes, one treadmill and one Stairmaster.
He said that in addition to adding the equipment, Lockwood said the racquetball court was painted and additional lighting was added.
"It looks like a really desirable place to work out," he said.
Chris Kennedy, Lawrence senior, agreed. But said he wished the new weight room was closer to the existing ones.
"I wish the weight room was more centrally located," he said.
Kennedy said that he had been lifting weights twice a week since his freshman year. He takes a weightlifting class to make sure he gets to lift during the day.
He said that with the new weight room, students can have somewhere to work out without taking a class.
