😐 Decent gym, they have a separate CrossFit side, a lot of cardio equip and a good mixture of machines and free weights. Main complaint is the schedule. Their hours are okay, but they have granted 24 hour access with registration with the front office. Not sure who cleans the facility, but never reall... People often mention fitness, facility,

    Decent gym, they have a separate CrossFit side, a lot of cardio equip and a good mixture of machines and free weights. Main complaint is the schedule. Their hours are okay, but they have granted 24 hour access with registration with the front office. Not sure who cleans the facility, but never really see anyone cleaning. Since the staff only works like 6 hours on the weekend, the cleaning wipe bins are routinely empty, equipment is everywhere, and the same bathroom areas have been unserviceable for months now. During this covid time I’m glad the gym is even open - but covid is not an excuse to run a less than mediocre facility. Fitness is still a pillar for readiness, so it needs to be safe, clean and available for use. Thank you.

    Friendly staff, average facility - has a great functional fitness area w/bumper and kilo plates but is simply too small for the base population and is reserved for class/unit only use during peak hours. Track is pretty worn out but located nearby. Main fitness area has a diverse amount of common, commercial grade equipment (life fitness, etc). 24 hour access! There is definitely potential and space to improve. Jan 22 Update: fitness center has tendency to change schedule due to "COVID MITIGATION MEASURES" with no warning for base pop so you ended up finding out by walking in and learning the facility will be closing in 10 mins.

    The after-hours 'registered ID only' access restriction wouldn't be that bad if it weren't for how often the system doesn't work. I don't believe it's 'preventing theft' as much as it's starting an obstacle to services member fitness. With the sophistication of the security camera network in this building I seriously doubt anyone's stealing anything, and if service members using the on-installation fitness facility at odd hours to fit their random work schedules and maintain their fitness to fight constitutes theft, well, that just seems insulting. When you CAN get in, the gym is pretty standard fare. Pretty clean, more or less well maintained. Doesn't do you any good if you can't use it, though.

    Great spacious gym, only gripes would be 1) Could use more bench pressing benches 2) Water bottle filling stationed could use more regular maintenance and/or filter replacement

    I lost over 20 lbs of my beer and Covid weight here! Decent size, good machines and amenities. 24 hour access was great. Too bad Covid sucks and affected gym life so much.

😠 Low tier fitness facility, they lock you into a year contract that’s disguised as a “one year promise”. If you don’t pay RIP to your credit. Stuck making payments until July.
