Training stations

Inside the Training Center, there are several training stations where tributes are able to train and learn survival skills they may need in order to survive in the arena. Each station is staffed by an expert and assistants that are on hand to spar with the tributes if they wish, as they are forbidden to fight each other before the Hunger Games begin. On the third day of training, each tribute is given a private session with the Gamemakers to show their strongest skill and be graded on a scale of 1-12.

Edible Plants and Insects
Foxface is seen on a touch screen, sorting through a variety of plants. This section is set up as a memory game, showing plants that are edible lighting up in yellow, and those that are not lighting up in red. That is the only time it is shown in the movie. In Catching Fire, Katniss sees Woof at the Edible Insects. He is disoriented, and tries to eat poisonous bugs.

The Gauntlet
The Gauntlet is a daunting obstacle course used in the Training Center. It consists of ascending platforms that rise up to a landing. Tributes must jump from platform to platform to finish in the fastest time possible. To make it even more difficult, trainers swing padded clubs at the tributes. This station is very popular and all the Careers have a go at this first. The station is not very popular to the tributes who are shy, less able, or want to stay inconspicuous. In a deleted scene of the film, the District 3 female fell off the gauntlet and split her lip which caused her to start bleeding. It also caused the Careers and the boy from District 3 to laugh at her.

Ropes Course


The Ropes Course consists of a large rope net that stretches across the ceiling of the gym. Only the very nimble can leap around up there. It is not as popular as some of the fighting techniques, but in the film the Careers think it is important because they line up to try it and laugh at Peeta when he falls from the ropes. Rue uses it to hide after having nabbed Cato's knife when he was not looking. The District 8 boy also fell off the ropes course.

Archery
The archery station has every type of bow and arrow that you could imagine. Katniss used this station for her private session in the first book, and practices there in the second, impressing all the other tributes. She also give Finnick an archery lesson in exchange for a trident lesson.

Trident
The trident station shows you how to use a trident. In the second book, Finnick gives Katniss a trident lesson.
