Colon believes this program will help Vanderbilt continue to graduate well-rounded young men and women who represent the University well. Strength and Conditioning Part of the foundation of Vanderbilt's success on the playing field can be traced to the work done in the McGugin weight room. Strength coach Lori Alexander helps athletes improve their athletic performance and minimize the potential for injury. Her mission is to create workouts not only specific to the sport, but to the athletes as well. I want them to be as fast as possible, be as strong as possible and prepare them for the first day of practice so they can go 100 percent.
Athletes focus on strength and conditioning year-round and receive individual attention.
The McGugin Gym contains a variety of free weight stations, Nautilus and Hammer machines, aerobic training equipment, a plyometric medicine ball area, slideboards and an indoor track. Site maintained by Vanderbilt Athletic Department.
