    Only active duty allowed. Only 60 people allowed in at once. Must wear a mask the entire time. No floor exercises/stretches allowed ( eg. pushups or sit ups ) Super clean. Closed M-F from 0900-1000 and 1400-1500 for deep cleaning. Closed 1100-1200 on weekends. When you walk in you grab you own personal spray bottle of disinfectant so you can spray down everything after you use it. TOWELS ARE NOT PROVIDED ANYMORE, IF YOU WANT A TOWEL YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN. Also locker rooms are not available anymore either. Some racks are closed off for social distancing purposes. Only one person per cable machine as well.

    Probably the worst management in a gym I've ever been to. Goofy rules and regulations. We don't have to wear masks but they still have half the squat racks closed yet all the machinery in the middle is open. Also no spotters which is just dangerous. That being said all the floor employees are very nice and make sure everything is clean.

    Follow the rules that are clearly laid out and you won't have to cry to the internet about being treated like a child. The facilities are the best I've seen for an on base military gym.

    First time going to this gym, I’ve lost weight so my pants and top were shifting. Lady asked me to not show my midriff (as my sweater was covering it). Note: i was doing jump rope! I said are you serious! White girl comes in showing her midriff and not told anything!!!! Seriously ! First and last time I’ll ever come here! This is the number one reason why I opted for outside gyms. Manager was not understanding of the situation, nodded and smiled as if this was a joke. Educated your employees to be mindful!

    Great facility but post COVID they've stopped providing towels (bring your own) and locker rooms are a bit stinky. That being said still a very comprehensive facility with convenient hours during the weekdays especially

    Decent no frills gym. Has all your major equipment, basketball and racquet ball courts. Only thing missing is a Sauna. They offer some amazing classes weekly as well.

    Great gym for anyone looking for gains. Enough machines so won't get board. Basketball gym is huge and you can check out Basketballs at the front desk.

    Amazing fitness center.. All the equipment you could ask for. Gets a little to packed at times, but still pretty manageable.

  • 4/5 Joel S. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing facilities that are kept clean. Staff is great. Locker rooms are huge and clean. Love the fitness classes. I have done spin many many times! The spin bikes are in great shape too upstairs. Equipment is in need of some of that O&M money, am I right? Still love the place but looking forward to some equipment upgrades due to the heavy use of the place.

  • 5/5 Holly S. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful facility for a military gym. Great for the community with classes and requetball courts. Not just a place to pump iron

  • 5/5 Benjamin P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and tidy Military gym! Showers and facilities were clean. All the gym equipment was clean and usable.

  • 4/5 Chella C. 1 year ago on Google
    This gym is better than MCBH by far. However, there's pro and con. Pros: there is a lot of equipment, It's big, I got lost. gym clean but have a weird smell to it and you can have a hat indoor. Cons: you can't have a bag on the floor, proper gym attire is a must, gym hours are not too convenient.

  • 4/5 Nick D. 1 year ago on Google
    Facilities are great! It's full of creepy people though who don't wipe the equipment down or understand gym etiquette. Read the rules, folks!

  • 3/5 Katie 11 months ago on Google
    Clean but ALWAYS crowded. It smells new and clean and has good ac. Not musky, damp, and moldy like other gyms. Has lockers and lock boxes. The atmosphere is actually nice. And it is in very close proximity to the Childcare Development Center if the kiddo goes there. However, it is always way too crowded no matter what time I go! Do you plan on using the Stairmaster? Don’t go, it’s always taken. Always. It looks deceiving big, but it’s just because the ceilings are high. There actually not that much choice of equipment. Sucks because it’s in such a convenient location!

  • 4/5 Dawnika J. 1 year ago on Google
    Facility is nice and clean, they offer free workout classes. Doesn't have anything extra like other facilities (i.e. sauna/steam room).

  • 3/5 Aaron Y. 8 months ago on Google
    Honestly this could have been a really nice gym. When I was here in 2022 it seemed like it was doing well but since the it’s deteriorated rather quickly. The showers were never hot or even warm, all of them leak and/or make this horrible squealing noise. One shower I used last summer I went back to today and it was still the SAME as if no problems are being addressed. The equipment is squeaky and rusty which you could expect from an outdoor gym but it’s not. It even lacks in the basic stuff like having a iron in the locker rooms. It is a military gym after all, sometimes people need to iron their uniforms before work after having them in a duffle. All in all, with better management it could be a great gym! Pros are that the bathrooms are relatively clean, the showers do have quite a bit of grout mold but the sinks and toilets are always cleaned well.

  • 5/5 Kyle K. 6 months ago on Google
    I love this place. The fitness instructors are very enthusiastic and motivating. In a little over 18 months, I lost over 100 pounds, doing their HIIT every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Like someone told me recently, I am a shadow of the man I used to be.

  • 1/5 Kara R. 5 months ago on Google
    The building is too big for no reason. It’s always to pack you can never get a good workout in because the limited equipment is never available. First ever hating a base gym

  • 4/5 Scott R. 6 months ago on Google
    Great Gym, only issue is the "reserved for PFA" signs on almost all the treadmills. I understand Sailors get priority but it was a bit much last time, almost all were marked.

  • 3/5 Sarah L. 6 months ago on Google
    Good lockers but no sauna. For the size of the gym, the actual portion where you work out is fairly small and can be crowded.

  • 4/5 carlos t. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the Gym but for a building this big it definitely needs more workout equipment. But all in all, the gym is pretty great and staff is excellent

  • 5/5 Blair R. 1 year ago on Google
    This facility is fully stocked with all of your weightlifting and cardio needs. The facility was open on the New Years while other were closed. The staff was courteous and friendly and the facility was clean both in the general area and the locker room.

  • 1/5 Benjamin J. 1 year ago on Google
    Disappointing gym. Barbells were all very old and poorly maintained. Free weight equipment / racks were old and rickety. The no bags policy is ridiculous for anyone that's serious about weight lifting. Felt like a planet fitness, not a military gym.

  • 4/5 Monica Ceja C. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of parking, convenient location and facility is really clean. Lots of open equipment despite every other treadmill being blocked off due to covid protocols. Open area for weight lifting is nice, and although it's kind of busy from 11am-1230pm, it's not packed. And yes, MASKS MUST BE WORK AT ALL TIMES except on the treadmill while walking or running.

  • 5/5 Zach K. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are looking for a place to pick heavy things and put them back down, this is the place for you! Great place to work out; all the equipment and locker rooms are clean. I would recommend it to anyone.

  • 4/5 Brent D. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of equipment, including areas for deadlift and power lifting, several squat racks...sled area, tons of cardio and other lifting / exercises equipment... clean and well maintained...4 stars only because of restricted hours

  • 5/5 Sandy T. 1 year ago on Google
    The best gym I've seen on the island! The equipment is new and plentiful, it's almost as good as Vasa in Colorado (which is only superior because of the massage chairs and pool 😊)

  • 5/5 Justin B. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic setup, decent social distancing guidelines and availability.

  • 5/5 robert r. 2 years ago on Google
    Great DOD gym. Lots of machines, free weights, Cardio, and the CrossFit section is growing. Show ID.. Bring your own towel and water bottle.

  • 5/5 Samuel T. 2 years ago on Google
    This might be the best Navy gym I've seen. So clean, so new looking!

  • 5/5 Brian B. 2 years ago on Google
    Still open for working out. No locker room or shower facilities are available and they are at reduced capacity. Still a very nice facility.

  • 2/5 richard l. 2 years ago on Google
    Gym is always packed, as all gyms in Hawaii are due to high population in small area. There’s not much equipment for your basic lifts (bench, deadlift, squat) so if you’re a dedicated traditional lifter then this probably isn’t the place to go, unless you don’t mind waiting 10-20 min for people to finish their set at the stations. However this gym does have a lot of other things that crossfitters use so that’s good I guess
