2cr3nd4 I would appreciate it if someone could tell me if the meanings of the sentences below are exactly the same. Hit (the) weight doesn’t make sense. However, one can hit (go to) the weight room or hit (reach) a weight-loss plateau.

They don't mean exactly the same. "Hit the weight" means to reach a target weight. Most of the time this will mean a weight loss either for a medical reason or to enter a desired weight class in sports like boxing or wrestling. However it can also be used for weight gain for a medical reason, sporting reason or the normal growth of a child.
