The water park is awesome and a great way to get the kids out of the house on a dark snowy day. It has a splash pad, a lazy river, a deep end with a rock wall and a diving board.

I love this gym, it has everything you need from an indoor running track to an extensive weight training area. The pool is high quality and the juice bar makes a wide variety of drinks.

Excellent gym with all amenities imaginable. Only critique I could give is that the music they play in here is probably more appropriate for a middle school dance and not a house of gains for paratroopers.

Kids had a great time at the polar pool. The number of lifeguards was phenomenal. I’m appreciative that they make the kids do a swim test to know they have good swimmers in the deep end of the pool. Lots of places for a little kids to play. Price was phenomenal. Highly recommend overall.

So I’ve been to most of the places you can go in the military, around the states and overseas. This is the best gym, that isn’t specific to a SOF unit, I’ve ever been to. It has all the equipment.
Every combination of machine.
Every bar and specialty bar.
Entire rogue line.
All the strongman equipment.
DBs up to 150
KBs 100+
Curve treadmill
Assault bike
Traditional cardio
A pool
Multiple basketball courts
Oly bars and eilko plates
Wall balls, sand bags, ropes
Every cable attachment ever made
Lifting platforms
Squat racks with and without mirrors
Climbing wall
It’s kept in good order and staffed most of the day. It has 24 hour badged in access too. This gym wins it. I wish I was up here longer to start building full in depth workouts using all the equipment.

Whoever thought of this as an investment was a good leader. Keep your joes motivated to workout. The military can afford one of these on every base and should make that investment with the new ACFT being implemented.

They have an entire indoor turf set up to run the acft indoors on a standardized course. You could even do the 2 mile run on the indoor track if you really had to.

Buckner Fitness Center is hands down the best gym in Alaska, if you can get access to it. From crossfit areas, rock climbing wall, basketball and volleyball court, to swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, and steam rooms; this gym has it all. The only downside is that they are short staffed right now, and really fall short on cleaning the courts to make them playable. Other than that, I highly recommend this gym. ID card is required to gain access.

Can someone explain how you can get your 24 hrs access removed on a Monday at 739 pm when the staff are there to check IDs to make sure people can be there. I think this is a very laughable review process with no review or oversight on how people are removed, just if it suits what the screen is saying then it's gotta be true. Wish there was a place to place a formal complaint bc I know plenty of people that should have easily been exonerated but there isn't a review process, so they get thrown away without a second look. So it's either the staff aren't doing their job, or the system is just there for show.

10/10 I married a servicemember just for access. (What, BAH and Tricare? Never heard of them until we got married sweety).

Well and he wanted to get out of the barracks lol.

Edit: no longer have access since he caught me with my best friend Jodie. But I get half his stuff, half his income for life, and half his pension! What a great deal!

Oh and when I won my court case (because I hired a fancy lawyer and he didn't "to save money") he had to pay my attorneys fees anyways!

Loved it until they turned me away! M-F 5-8am is for ACTIVE DUTY ONLY!! this is not on the site...no where posted in the gym..THEY DON'T HAVE A FAMILY ROOM..so the only time I can come is when my husband gets off during homework time,dinner time or bath time and I have 5 kids!! Spouses sacrifice so much career ,constantly having to start over,adjust everywhere we go, raising children alone etc... and we almost ALWAYS get the short end of the stick..Elmendorf gym does not have this policy only buckner fitness smh.

This is probably the biggest gym in Anchorage. A huge selection of equipment, an upstairs indoor running track, pool, cardio, and circuit traing rooms. Surprisingly, during this heightened COVID period, it is still open. The number of patrons is limited, the pool requires reservations and the facility has alot of equipment down to provide for social distancing.

Nice facility. Has more than enough for anyone to get a good workout in. Unless you're there during peak hours and it seems like everyone is working in groups of 5 or more. Other than that the equipment is nice. I haven't used the pool or sauna but those are great features as well...so I've heard.
