About the Gymnastics Training Facility
All training will take place in the Penn State Gymnastics facility located in White Building in the heart of the Penn State campus. Extensively renovated in the summer and fall of 2000, the gym's design and its amenities make it the finest gymnastics facility in the country. This state-of-the-art facility features 13,400 square feet of training space, nearly twice the size of most collegiate facilities. Campers also have the benefit of working on new AAI equipment and landing mats at a multitude of training stations.

There are two 40' x 40' floor exercise systems, each with a Resi pit adjacent for tumbling. There is also a 68' tumbling strip where gymnasts have their choice of a Resi pit or a deep foam pit landing. Three vaulting stations are available, maximizing the gymnast's ability to train vaults using safe and effective progressions. Deep foam and Resi pit landing areas are used extensively along with the floor level table, which has an above ground Resi pit available for drills. The pommel horse area includes two pommel horses, a longitudinal horse, a single pommel station, a floor horse and a mushroom. Strength training is performed primarily at each of the two low ring stations. Gymnasts also have the option of landing areas on horizontal bar. Again, regular floor surface along with Resi and deep foam pits allow the athletes to train safely and remain on the cutting edge of gymnastic technique. A low bar is available for strap work as well as inbar work. Parallel bar stations include a competitive/training set, a low bar station and a set of bars next to a deep foam pit for dismounts. A trampoline is present, complete with overhead spotting and deep foam pit accessibility.

Complete with new heating and air conditioning systems, upgraded lighting and a unique architectural design, the gym is not only functional but beautiful as well. Motorized blinds have been installed to filter out sunlight from the 32 spacious windows that adorn the gym. Finally, HD televisions and DVR replay systems play back performances after every turn a gymnast takes.
