McKendree University

The McKendree Sports Performance Center at McKendree University in Lebanon, Illinois consists of 7,500-square feet for the NCAA DII/I Bearcat athletic teams to utilize for strength, speed and performance training. And they went all in on this space!

It is filled with 7 Pro Series Double-Sided Half Cages, 5 GHDs, 4 sets of Performance Plyo Cushions, and many other tools. It also boasts a whopping 19,000 pounds (approximately) of free weights! The facility also contains 2,400-square feet of artificial turf for use in sprints, change of direction, and sled drills.

Everything is finished in Jet Black with Purple Wave accents, with black upholstery. If you look closely, you’ll see custom post decals on the uprights, as well as a few other Bearcat logos in various places… notably the floor and weight plates. It’s a formidable space brimming with Bearcat pride!

Believe it or not, most of the equipment in these photos was ordered in 2013, with a few other pieces added in 2015. When McKendree University wanted a few more items in 2025, they reached out to us for the upgrade and then shared all of the above recent photos. When we say “Built to Last” we mean it!
