This idea has reached the minimum threshold of 10 likes and will be going to Student Voice for consideration on the 25th November 2019.
The weightlifting room in the ARC gym is in dire need of some new equipment, specifically one of the benches is in a terrible condition which I have linked a picture below.
Ideally bigger dumbbells as they currently only go to 44kg, ideally have pairs up to 50/60kg and a few more dumbbells
I know that weightlifting room probably isn't as popular as upstairs but a new bench at the minimum should be realistic for the uni to purchase.

I think the gym would also benefit from racks that organise the Dumbbells from the lightest weight to the heaviest. At the moment Dumbbells are randomly placed on the racks, that's if people even bother to return them to the rack in the first place.
A few things that the downstairs part of the gym could benefit from are new bars. Currently the knurling on the bars is so worn down with use that it has become smooth and provide no grip. Currently as well there is no set place to put any of the weights back, it feels like it follows a policy of 'where there is a space, then you place.' Now for the more underused weights its not as bad as they dont move around much, however for the more common used ones it can be a bit of a hunt to find them.
