The state-of-the-art Murray State weight room is located in Roy Stewart Stadium and is headquarters for the Racer Strength and Conditioning Program.

With 10,000-square feet, the Racer weight room is one of the largest and best equipped in the country. This room contains free weights, universal machines, power racks and Olympic platforms.

In the summer of 2008, head strength and conditioning coach Just Cecil equipped the room with brand new equipment from Sorinex, Uesaka, Powerlift, IGX and Westside Barbell. The layout was also reorganized to maximize the space.

Constructed in 1973 with the completion of the stadium, it has served Racer athletes for nearly 30 years.

The facility received a major overhaul in 1999 when nearly $100,000 was spent to renovate the room and purchase new equipment.
