"We built a $4 million addition and a new Universal weight room was part of the plan. We're really into sports in this region, and most of our 800 students are involved somehow, either football, basketball, volley ball, golf, track and field…just about everything you can name. Our weight room has free weights on one side and single-station machines on the other and is used by our athletes as well as our physical education classes. All of our coaches agree that the Universal equipment has made our students bigger, stronger and faster."

"We started selling Universal in 1970. It's a quality product with name recognition that can't be beat in the heavy-use market of high schools and colleges. I started using Universal equipment when I was a track athlete at Indiana University. When I graduated, I sold Universal for a dealer and eventually started my own dealership. This is a very satisfying job to have. Everyone is so excited when the Universal equipment arrives. Over the years, I've sold equipment to a lot of small high schools that worked out on Universal and it made a big improvement on the success of their sports teams."

"I was a two-time national wrestling champ at Northern Arizona University, which is where I first used Universal. I went to New York in 1972 to train for wrestling in the Olympics. My trainer was a Universal distributor, so I worked for him because I needed an income. I was an alternate on the World Team that went to France in 1973. When I threw my knee out in competition, I used a Universal machine to build back my strength. I've been a Universal dealer since 1978, and 90 percent of my customers are high schools. The equipment performs better and is more rugged than anything else on the market. It's also made in the U.S.A., which schools like."
