Cumberland Phoenix Sports Performance Center

The Cumberland University strength and conditioning facility, located at Phoenix Plaza adjacent to the main campus, is home for year-round strength and conditioning training for all Phoenix athletic programs. Athletes work under the supervision of the Director of Strength and Conditioning and all fully certified staff.

The strength and conditioning facility consists of 8 power racks, each equipped with Olympic platforms, power and Olympic barbells, and full sets of iron and bumper plates. Every rack is equipped with 60lbs trap bars, safety squat bars, and neutral grip Swiss bars to accommodate different training variations. With ample choices for types of resistance from free weights to resistance bands and heavy chains, many methods can be used to build strength and power. There are three complete dumbbell racks, two kettlebell racks up to 123lbs, along with glute ham machines, and various weights and types of medicine balls.

Leading into the strength and conditioning facility is a 600+ square-foot artificial turf area designed for warm-up and recovery work as well as plyometric and agility training. The indoor turf provides optimal space to utilize hard foam plyo-safe plyometric boxes, medicine balls, and sprint drills or accelerations in training. The turf area also allows athletes to prepare for performance with our equipment for pre-habilitation, activation, and soft tissue work.
