The weight room, which is located at Mihalik-Thompson Stadium, is available for use only by the Slippery Rock University varsity athletes, with supervision from coaches.

In 2012 the facility saw another monumental upgrade with the inclusion of all new branded weight racks and dumbells. The facility got another boost in 2020 with the installation of a brand new flooring system, state of the art speaker system and additional equipment.
