“Right now this fits what we need and this will fit our needs for a long time. If there’s something that we definitely feel we need to add, I’m sure we can do that easily.”
–Michael Felicetti, Football and Powerlifting coach
We are excited to share the inspiring story of Tularosa High School in Tularosa, New Mexico, as they undergo a remarkable transformation of their weight training facility. At Samson Equipment, we are thrilled to be part of this journey and to provide professional weight room solutions for educational institutions across the country.
From Modest Beginnings to Impressive Achievements
Tularosa High School, a 3A classification school, set out to upgrade their weight room, and we are proud to say that they now have a facility that can rival 6A schools. This journey began with a vision from Sergio R Castanon, their Athletic Director, who recognized the need for change. The school administration wholeheartedly supported his vision, driven by their unwavering commitment to providing students with the best resources for growth and development.
Efficiency Excellence
In 2023, Tularosa High School’s weight room underwent a complete transformation, and the results are truly impressive. Michael Felicetti, the football and powerlifting coach, shared insights into what makes this facility stand out.

3 Belt Squats: The belt squat machine allows for lower body training without putting stress on the spine, making it perfect for athletes of all levels.
3 Plyo Boxes: Plyometric boxes are essential for explosive training and improving athletic performance, making them a valuable addition to any weight room.
A Source of Community Pride
What truly distinguishes this weight room is the sense of pride it instills in everyone who enters. Students, athletes, and coaches consider it their sanctuary, a place where they can train, grow, and take ownership. It’s more than just a weight room; it’s their home.
The planning and design process were crucial to this transformation. Samson Equipment provided guidance with visuals and 3D designs, helping the team envision the possibilities and make informed decisions. Sergio R Castanon expressed gratitude for aiming high and trusting the process, and Michael Felicetti echoed this sentiment, noting that the facility not only meets their current needs but also promises to do so for years to come.
