Physical Education Facilities

At Twin Peaks we strive to offer the absolute best opportunities for our students. Over the years we have spent countless hours designing, creating, building, and improving our facilities. The result is that we have one of the best Physical Education facilities

Anywhere.



EXERCISE SCIENCE LAB (ESL) 


The Exercise Science Lab is divided into three sections: Cardiovascular Training (Cardio) made up of Rogue Echo bikes and Nordic Ski machines, rowing machines, spin bikes and elliptical machines, Muscular Training (Weights) which consist of 10 circuit training machines, core equipment and dumbells, and an Open area that allows students to perform small group activities such as dancing, yoga, HIIT workouts, jump rope and more.

The academy consists of a full 21 station driving range and a 3500 square foot putting green. The Twin Peaks Golf Academy is used in both the seventh and eighth grade physical education classes as well as the TPMS Golf Team practice site.

THE POWER PLANT

power plantThe Power Plant is designed mainly for the 8th grade Physical Education program as well as the 7th and 8th grade P.E. Academy (elective). The use of machines, free weights, plyometrics and stations takes each student to a new level of strength training. The students work in pairs and rotate through 12-15 stations per session, and track their individual progress throughout the unit.

 

THE MULTI PURPOSE ROOM (GYMNASIUM)

The Multi Purpose Room (MPR) is a joint use agreement with the City of Poway. The gym as a class facility allows us to teach volleyball, badminton, dance, yoga, basketball, jump rope and a variety of spatial awareness and rhythm & movement activities. It is also an additional facility available to us on rainy or excessively hot days. In addition to classes, we run our volleyball, basketball and wrestling after school programs in the gym.

GRASS VOLLEYBALL COURTS

Our 8 grass volleyball courts allow us to teach and play volleyball in a variety of ways, and at multiple skill levels. Having 8 dedicated courts allows drills and lesson plans to be implemented with maximum student participation, as well as accommodate all students without substituting or sitting out. 

With use of these courts we can easily accommodate the 60 to 100 boys and girls who participate in our after school competitive volleyball program.
