The Workout Base is located on our campus. It is an important training place for weightlifters in Taoyuan City and it also welcomes people to work out.
Background and Purpose
The Workout Base was officially launched on our campus
in 2013 because Taoyuan City Government wanted to develop
weightlifting. According to the former Dean of General Affairs,
it used to be a venue for taekwondo. At that time, the school's
Taekwondo club had been suspended. It happened that Ms.
Chen came to work in this school, so it was refurbished and
changed to a place for weightlifting. When it was first
established, due to limited funds, all equipment was relatively
simple. What the school helped them with was painting, repairing leaks on the roof, and providing a fridge. As long as the weightlifters had outstanding performance for the city in games, the city government would prepare a bigger budget to make the equipment and the training environment better.
Management Philosophy
Chen, Chia-Ling has been the manager of the Workout Base for eight years, and the Workout Base has become better and better in terms of equipment and space. Ms. Chen makes this place a training venue for the weightlifters, a gym for all fitness lovers, and a classroom for those who want to know more about weightlifting.
Expectation
The Workout Base is now facing some problems, and they need repairs with plans and a budget. The first issue is that since the number of weightlifters has increased, it will be very hot in summer, so air-conditioning should be installed. For the sanitary issue, because weightlifters use lifting chalk, and they need to wash their hands after lifting, so a sink is needed. At last, a shower room would be necessary for the weightlifters if they want to take a shower right after training. It would make the everyday training more pleasant.
