The Foundry - Weightlifting Gym
The Foundry has been fitted with over £60,000 of professional equipment including a para-powerlifting bench, six Eleiko competition sets, eight squat stations with dip and landmine stations, a lateral pulldown machine, a cable cross-over machine, full sets of kettlebells and dumbbells, over 30 barbells up to 20kg and over 6000kg of weightlifting plates.
Based at the Graig campus in Llanelli, this first-class facility, funded by Sports Wales, has been converted from an original school gym into a professional standard weightlifting suite with new and specialised flooring funded by the college.
Euros Evans, head of sports academies at Coleg Sir Gâr says, “We are thrilled to be working with Llanelli Weightlifting Academy and all our other partners who have helped make The Foundry concept into a reality. I very much see this as a community project, bringing in those who want to use weightlifting for fitness or striving for competition success.”
3G Pitch
Our 3G pitch is a fantastic facility for teaching, coaching and matches. The underfloor shock absorbers means that it can be used for both football and rugby and it is an approved facility by WRU and FAW.
The facility is available for community use when it is not used for teaching or the Sports Academies. There is already a busy programme of coaching sessions every weekday evening where a wide range of partner organisations hire the pitch as a whole, or in sections for their junior and senior sections.
Saturdays and Sundays the pitch is available to be hired for matches.
