Many students here at South El Monte have used the weight room. The equipment we have in the weight room is fine. Some students think the weightroom should have more equipment and be extended. More fitness apparatus would allow students to do different workouts.

 If they were to extend the weightroom, it would give students more space for workouts, allowing the room not to be so crowded.  As well as giving more space for new forms of exercise. The new space could also allow more students to join the class.  The majority of the class are males, but if they were to bring new equipment girls could be more interested. It would make the girls want to join the class if they had more options as well. 

The room needs new supplies, especially since it has been years since the equipment has been renewed.  Some of the fitness equipment in the weight room is old broken, and rusty. This displays how unsafe the room is because old and rusty equipment is a safety hazard.  I interviewed some students in the weight training class and asked their opinions on the weight room and the equipment.

Senior, Brandon Rocha shared his opinions on the weight room and said, “I think the weight room is a nice place to work out but it’s a little small. I would feel more comfortable if the weightroom was bigger because it gives everyone a lot more to work out and also so we are not so close together. The weights in the weight room are rusty, old, and broken. If we get new weights and machines I feel like it gives us more opportunities to do different works.”

   The last Student I interviewed was senior, Fernando Navidad, and he stated ”I like the weightroom but I think they should add more machines like a treadmill, leg press, and Recumbent bike. So students can have something new to do and not have to do the same workout over and over again because it gets boring. The weight room gets crowded when weights and other stuff are put away. I think it should be bigger there is a lot of space right next to the weight room”. This is why the weight room needs to be bigger, and have more weights and machines added to it.
