😐 Was asked to leave because my shirt was revealing too much. Then the next day see these two guys wearing the same type of shirt. Multiple staff walked past them and didn’t say anything. I guess they pick and choose who they want to enforce the rules on. People often mention equipment, workout, room, staff, great,

    So many easy fixes to improve the gym but not much interest from management to improve. Rust-covered plates on the machines, rusty pins that constantly unscrew from the handle, insufficient adjustable weight benches for the number of people using them, insufficient pully attachments to accommodate all the people needing them, and some nylon pulldown ropes are frayed. Many little things that some attention to detail would fix and could enhance the gym. Lastly, the music selection is only hip-hop 24/7. Try a mix of music (or no music at all). I'd rather not hear an autotuned voice that cannot sing rhyming nonsensical words to a digital beat in a song with no melody, no harmony, no chords, and no soul.

    Gets busy during the weekday afternoons, but still not overly crowded. The staff are nice and courteous. Please, don't challenge their "no bag" rule because the rule is there for a reason; just be respectful and abide by it because it not unreasonable and if you have too much things, you really don't need them with you. You really just need your car keys/ID/phone, go do your workout and move on with your lovely day. The group class room is still under Renovation; I wonder when it'll be done coz there no where else to do stretches or floor workouts except the basketball courts.

    Pick and choose who can wear muscle shirts and who can't I guess depending on whatever mood they're in that day. On top of that there seems to be no sense of urgency when it comes to getting equipment and amenities fixed. Sauna has been down for at least two months now. I understand the gym has to make a maintenance request but they also need to follow up and make sure it's completed in a timely manner.

    Decent medium size gym, but kinda old and worn down. The staff keeps the facility clean.

    Pleasseee do something about the hot gym. Idk how anyone can do anything in there with no AC...

  • 4/5 M L. 1 year ago on Google
    Older facility, have all the equipment I need. It was really busy when I was there. Parking lot is small, recommend walking there if on base.

  • 3/5 Steve S. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent gym. Some of the machines are older and have minor breakage. The cardio room has wood floors that are buckled up in places. Classes are good. Great selection of free weight equipment.

  • 2/5 Megan M. 6 months ago on Google
    One of the more strict on base gyms which is frustrating when you’re TDY. They won’t let you take bags in (to include a small fanny pack) and they won’t let you take cans in (pre workout or things like that), despite selling them up front.

  • 5/5 J. T. W. 5 months ago on Google
    Good gym. They have a good balance of machine and free weights. I'm never waiting for equipment. They have a sauna and massage sessions as well.

  • 4/5 Lala B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice gym with lots of machines and free weights classes available and after hours entry with military ID

  • 4/5 Dawnika J. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice gym, they offer workout classes and personal training. It's not as big as the one on Pearl side but has more to offer like a sauna (that actually works).

  • 5/5 A G. 6 years ago on Google
    This has to be one, out of the two, that’s my favorite place to workout at. They offer many classes and space for activities that you require in your workout. It’s not the most packed gym I have seen, there is a pool, a smoothie bar, and a great big room for aerobic and calisthenic exercises. The parking here is wonderful, there is a after hours membership that you can obtain, and a great variety of workout equipment. The staff is great with customer care and there are lockers available for free and also showers and a sauna.

  • 4/5 Alvin N. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice but wish the locker room wasn't at the other end of the building as the entrance

  • 5/5 Chip 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to stay in shape. 24-hour access.

  • 3/5 Jeff P. 1 year ago on Google
    Good selection of equipment, smallish weight room. They do not allow bags of any kind in the weight room, but they will give you a temporary storage locker.

  • 4/5 Ceara D. 4 years ago on Google
    It has the basics that you need, the equipment is a little dated and limited; some of the equipment in the weight room should definitely be replaced. But it is free so what can you expect. The gym is quite small so it is always overly crowded and you have to fight for machines, benches/barbells etc. The gym is pretty clean overall, the janitorial staff is always cleaning which is great. The locker rooms are nice, and have a sauna. Some of the front desk staff are nice, others not so much and are rude. The janitorial staff is probably the nicest out of everyone. Overall it is a good gym to work out at, just do not going in with high expectations, you will be disappointed.

  • 4/5 Damian G. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent gym with everything you need. A little tight with low ceilings, but its part of the ascetic.

  • 1/5 nick m. 3 years ago on Google
    The COVID restrictions are awful. The hourly rotations are useless as you are given a spray bottle to wipe down your equipment. Would recommend longer work hours due to time being lost and the extreme amount of people grouping up to time the rotations.

  • 5/5 Matthew L. 3 years ago on Google
    The staff has been great throughout the whole COVID situation. Always friendly and very professional. Also, it's still active duty only currently and no locker room access.

  • 1/5 Corbin L. 2 years ago on Google
    Why would you choose to have the same cleaning hours as the JBPHH Pearl side gym?? So there's no gym available between 13-1400 besides sub side gym? You expect all JBPHH to squeeze in there? Smh.

  • 5/5 Nathaniel L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great facility to get your pump on!

  • 3/5 Chris R. 3 years ago on Google
    Weightlifting side of the gym has sufficient equipment to complete a good workout. I enjoy the area seperated from the weights that has hardwood floor with mirrors. Unfortunately the pandemic has made going to the gym a hassle because you have to go in at non-peak times to have room to workout and the opportunity to utilize the equipment you need to complete your workout. Also, the random change in scheduled close times for holidays and cleanings interrupts your ability to make into the gym. Overall, great facility, just that operations is a hassle because of Covid.

  • 5/5 ItHurtzWenIP 3. 2 years ago on Google
    For the fact that they were or are vaccinating people makes them amazing! I got both my vaccines there, thank you!

  • 2/5 Christian G. 2 years ago on Google
    Cramped gym, weird layout, and the 24 hour access is more like after-hours access since they still close for half an hour.

👍👍 Soon to open. I got to sample this new location in a friends and family week. I liken it to a mix of CrossFit and Orange Theory combined. For a good 45 minutes of pure sweat and working out.

😠 I would never use it if you wanted you or your kids to learn mma! Super expensive and very pushy employees. Always trying to get you to spend more and more money. Always pressuring you to do personal training which is basic pad work that a friend in a garage can do for you. Like 250$+ just for someo...

😠 Aggressive sales tactics and they wouldn't even give you a tour without providing all your personal information (basically signing up). They claimed it's for "liability" which is false.

😠 Great vibes, but super crowded during afternoon. I'm so upset over the fact that I paid $100 to have multiple trainers cancel on me before finding one that told me he was quitting 3 days into our training sessions.
