Great Lakes Wrestling and Training Center
The Great Lakes Training Center is a state-of-the-art, multi-use recreation center dedicated to creating a vibrant community through several key principles:
Community Building: We bring people together through shared spaces and activities, fostering a sense of belonging and connected community.
Member Empowerment: We empower our members by providing opportunities for lifelong learning, personal growth, and skill development.
Inclusivity: We foster inclusivity by creating a welcoming and accessible environment that embraces and values diversity.
Our Slogan: Homegrown
Homegrown embodies our core values of community, belonging, and remembering our roots.
While the training center is structured as a multiuse facility, its primary purpose is to serve as the official home of our wrestling academy, Great Lakes Wrestling.
Facility
9000-square-feet, including a 900-square-foot weight and cardio center
Extensive Wi-Fi, cameras, security, and zoned audio systems
Mats
To ensure athlete safety and performance, the training center will feature three 42' x 42' Resilite Classic wrestling mats. Their high-quality foam technology provides industry-leading impact protection to minimize injuries and enhance training.
Bleachers
The training center is equipped with aluminum bleachers positioned alongside each mat. These bleachers are commercially designed for use by both athletes and spectators.

These heavy-duty tools support versatile training—including pushes, pulls, and takedown drills—to develop functional strength and endurance. Resistance is adjustable by adding weights or having a partner stand on the sled.
Weight Center
The training center features a 900-square-foot weight and cardio area, complete with extensive weights and cardio equipment.
