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 includes 15-foot aluminum bleachers positioned alongside each mat. These bleachers are commercially designed for use by both athletes and spectators.
Wrestling Sleds
The training center features three wrestling sleds. 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.
