weight room

Dumbbell training space

A weight room is a space equipped with barbells, dumbbells, weight machines, and other resistance training equipment.

Most gyms have weight rooms, as do schools and athletic facilities.

The term distinguishes this area from cardio sections or group fitness studios: I'll be in the weight room if you need me.
