Capstone’s weight room is full of state of the art exercise equipment. Adolescent males are full of testosterone and invincibility and need plenty of strength exercises. Nothing builds a boy’s confidence like physical strength. Our weight room is equipped with a Tuff Stuff bench press, incline press, seated row machine, and leg-press machine. It also houses a Schwinn windrigger row machine, a Precor elliptical cross-trainer, a Stairmaster stepper, two racks of dumbbells, a balance ball, a back hyper-extension machine, a chin-dip rack, and a lat pull down machine. Four days a week, the residents and staff members exercise together in a highly enthusiastic, closely supervised circuit workout. Low weight and high repetitions are used to increase muscle mass and prevent injury. This workout helps prepare both the residents and the staff for the wilderness trip but the goal is in the character building and the connections made with staff members.
