Fitness Equipment

The Phys. ed. department has recently purchased new fitness equipment, including additional dumbells of varying weight to add to our collection. Moreover, a multi purpose weight bench has been added to West End's Fitness Program, allowing students to work their entire body. With the bench and the barbell we now have, students can do a range of weightlifting activities working chest, arms, shoulders and legs, in a safe way building muscle or toning their bodies. While purchased as equipment for our fitness class, this equipment is available for student use at lunch Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and afterschool on Thursday. Thursday afterschool we also play coed volleyball for all WEA students interested. Furthermore, if anyone has weightlifting or fitness equipment in good condition (eg. standard sized weight plates, or barbell with locks), that is not being used, and you would like to donate it to our school, please contact us and let us know what you have (416-393-0660 - ask for Jeff). We would love to have any such equipment should it suit our programming needs and space available to us.
