Los Lunas High School
Los Lunas, New Mexico
At Samson Equipment, our collaboration with Los Lunas High School in Los Lunas, New Mexico, led by Head Football Coach Greg Hennington, exemplifies our dedication to transforming athletic spaces into state-of-the-art facilities that inspire pride and performance.
The previous weight room at Los Lunas High School had seen better days, with outdated and mismatched equipment from various companies. It was clear that the facility needed an upgrade to reflect the school’s commitment to athletic excellence and to provide a space where athletes could train effectively and safely.
“Anytime I needed anything, I pick up the phone and call Scott, and he answers it.”
– Greg Hennington, Head Football Coach
Samson Equipment was chosen for this ambitious project due to our reputation for quality, durability, and innovative design. The new facility, filled with custom, high-end equipment, was designed to meet the unique needs of Los Lunas High School’s athletic programs. The installation included:
Double-sided FLEX-Rack: This versatile rack system allows for efficient use of space, enabling multiple athletes to perform various exercises simultaneously, from bench presses to squats and deadlifts.
Combo Benches with Spotter Platforms: These benches provide stability and safety, essential for high-volume training sessions.
Band Attachments: These add variety to workouts, supporting resistance training crucial for developing strength and power.
Triple Tier Dumbbell Rack: Offers organized storage for a range of dumbbells, keeping the training area clean and functional.
20kg and 10kg Olympic Barbells: Essential for core lifts, these barbells are built to withstand the rigorous demands of high school athletics.
Samson Malak (Landmine Attachment): A versatile tool that enables rotational exercises, beneficial for improving core strength and stability.
Glute Ham Reverse Hyper: An essential piece of equipment for developing posterior chain strength, which is vital for athletes.
Barbell Storage: Ensures that all barbells are stored safely and efficiently, maximizing space and organization.
The design of the weight room, including custom graphics and the strategic placement of equipment, has transformed the space into a source of pride for the athletes, the school, and the community. The room features alternating Tiger paw and head designs on the flooring, perfectly matching the custom branding on the equipment, which further enhances the school spirit.
This state-of-the-art facility has already begun to make a difference. The organized layout and the ability to perform all core lifts from a single station have significantly improved the efficiency and safety of training sessions. Coach Hennington noted a 10-15% increase in performance metrics during the offseason, attributing these gains to the targeted training possible with the new equipment.
The Samson team, led by Scott, provided exceptional support throughout the process, ensuring that every detail was handled with care. From the initial design phase to the final installation, Samson’s commitment to excellence was evident, making them the go-to partner for Coach Hennington and his team.
This installation at Los Lunas High School is more than just a weight room—it’s a statement of the school’s dedication to its athletes, fostering an environment where students can thrive both on and off the field. Samson Equipment is proud to have played a role in this transformation, delivering a facility that will serve the school for many years to come.
