One of the worst on base gyms I have been too. The staff are unfriendly and the rules don’t make any sense. I do my squats without shoes, because it feels more natural. But the staff get angry when you don’t have any shoes on. It’s a joke of a gym.

Great gym. The freeweights (main) area is now open. But all the other rooms are still closed

Kept too warm. Great equipment. However, if you want to do cardio it will be too humid an hot to actually do any cardio.

They have fixed a lot of their treadmills and it looks like they're doing a bit of remodeling now. I love the new placement of the equipment.

Decent. Not great. Sauna hasn't worked all year despite a part being "backodered". Some of the staff are rude and do not greet guests. Door to gain entry into gym is always locked and you need CAC access to get in. Always seem short-staffed. If/when sauna comes back, it will only be on when someone is at front desk, otherwise, sauna will be off. A bit disappointing because saunas are very beneficial to our health yet this fitness center doesn't allow us to use it.

Pretty good gym as far as Air Force standards go, definitely needed the recent/ongoing renovations. Has a good variety of both cardio and lifting equipment.

Good equipment. Obnoxious about the dress code, which seems to be enforced by a couple guys who monitor the rooms via security cameras. I was using dumbells in a room all by myself when two men came in to kick me out for my tank top, which was very loose with a high neck line, but apparently showed too much of my sports bra straps in the back.

Great gym, good equipment. Finally a gym with a good amount of squat racks. Has everything from standard cardio/aerobics equipment, racks, powerlifting platforms, to functional fitness with kettlebells. Couldn't recommend it enough.

It’s important to let you know that my comparison is to other service facilities. I have not had much opportunity to be an Air Force facilities. The difference is clear. The gym was currently under renovations, so it was under construction. What impressed me most was the exercise bike equipment. I’m training for a triathlon and had recently purchased power meters for my pedals. They’re quite expensive. When I went to ride on a spin bike, it had all the metrics that my expensive power pedals provide. It was incredible. I also had the ability to download an app and interface With it and keep track of my exercises. I was only there short term so this wasn’t as critical but I certainly let my son know who is stationed there. He is also a triathlete. Truly amazing. With one son left and looking into the military, I’m definitely recommending the Air Force.

I just got kicked out of the gym very publicly (they did this in front of an audience instead of pulling me away to speak privately) for wearing this black tank top because it was deemed inappropriate. I truly didn’t believe it so I asked to see the policy and the policy vaguely states β€œchest” which was enough grounds for them to ask me to leave. I wouldn’t normally post a review but I am postpartum and breastfeeding so I feel that I was singled out simply for my anatomy and not the clothes I was wearing. This tank top is obviously okay to wear and I wore it many times before having a baby to the same facility. I was publicly humiliated by the staff members and do not recommend if you are postpartum and looking for a safe place to exercise.

I'd rate Eglin Fitness Center with two stars. It's consistently crowded, which can be frustrating, especially if you're a regular gym-goer. The busiest times are in the early morning around 6 am and after work hours, with a significant lunchtime crowd as well. The equipment is dated, and there's a clear need for more space or additional facilities to accommodate the high customer load, reducing wait times for equipment.

Bathroom and locker rooms were horrible, nasty, and gross. I'm not entirely sure when they were last cleaned but it looked and smelled like a very long time.

They do have a wide variety of workout apparatus so you'll be able to get a good workout in and nothing was broken so that was good.

Great place to work out. Lots of equipment and nearly everything is always up and running. With Eglin being one of the only gyms (if not the only gym) to stay open during the COVID pandemic, it can get silly crowded at peak hours. Be weary of 0700-0900 and 1600-1800, these times get pretty crazy.

Pretty good # of squat racks and bench presses. Multiple places to deadlift as well. Overall, a very solid place to work out ....at the right times of the day. Miss the 24 hour access.

Never open, always doing some kind of maintenance. 24 hr access hasn’t even been in effect for 24 months and it’s already down for over 3 weeks. Save gas, and save time....go to hurlburt field. Equipment is nicer, and their 24 hr access always works.

Good size fitness center with plenty of cardio equipment. 2 flat benches, 2 incline, 1 decline. 5 squat racks, 2 of those with bumpers. About 5-8 free benches for dumbbells. Dumbbells 5-120 lbs, 2 sets of each. Just recently discovered they have a sauna (fairly hidden). 24 hour access available. Make sure to bring your own towel and soap.

If you have the privilege of using the gym, it exist! That being said one must be aware that the gym and it's equipment had seen better years. The layout of the building can be aken to a dungeon with thick heavy cinder block walls separated by solid wooden doors and windows that barely exist. The lingering air inside is very heavy with gym locker scent (stagnated air mixed with human skin cells and sweat that accumulated and simmered over the years). The buildings air conditioning is not enough to keep the temperature down and large industrial fans are installed, standing next to the fan one can feel a humid breeze with questionable origin, perhaps evaporated human sweat? Breathing through my mouth was the last resort for me.

The air circulation and the cramp lockers may not be the best, but I do have to say a renovated shower with double curtains do exist! But please take my words with the grain of salt and experience the gym for yourself. It's simply hard to believe that the largest Air Force base in the US is running with an illfunded (they can only afford one lady to clean a gym with daily visitors numbering in thousands ) and poorly designeed facility. Not that it concerns anyone but I surely would stick to the smaller gym/track scattered in Eglin before I would go to the Fitness Center to fulfil my cardiovascular goals.

Fresh air is certainly in short supply inside the Eglin Fitness Center.
