This place has the worst weight room I’ve ever been to. It’s absolutely crowded with 5-6 people with NO AIR CIRCULATION. I couldn’t breathe between sets, and it’s at 60ish degrees outside. Can’t imagine coming here in the summer.

I really appreciate the civilian/military fitness program for employees at Walter Reed. I utilize this gym on my break and it’s always clean, with modern equipment. They have a huge pool. And several workout and weightlifting. They also have a full basketball court with a walking track above it. This gym keeps me motivated to work out.

The facility is amazing. Fully equipped with a weight room, Olympic size indoor pool, spinning classroom, yoga, and group exercise rooms including a racquetball court and a machine only area. Oh, let's not forget the huge cardio space and basketball courts. They have separate locker rooms, and for TRX straps, ask for them at the front. It's highly accessible and the building does have a ramp for wheelchairs. Check out their websites for the group class schedules and special events. Stay healthy
my friends!

Accessible only to people with base access: a beautiful fitness center with many opportunities to work on your health - including cardio machines, pool, circuit machines and free weights, spin, yoga and much more!

Awesome pool, clean locker rooms, lots of equipment, friendly staff. However if you like to lift, the weight room is not the best.

Not very populated lately. Lots of space to work out because ppl seem to forget about this fitness gym on base. If ppl keep ignoring it, it’ll lose its significance and therefore, funding.

Ppl can park in the America Garage. It’s open 24/7.

I love working out here! It is always clean, and everyone is respectful. The cardio room is separate from the weight room. The pool is wonderful. There is a pickleball/tennis court and a basketball court. The only thing is parking is very limited so come prepared.

The showers are cleaned and that is something I appreciate in any public gym I visit!

They have a heavy punching bag which they took away. Some of us practice martial arts as part of our way of life. You are being culturally insensitive.

The new hours to the pool are inconvenient and not logical. How are we to make fitness a priority for Active Duty Members if the gym and pool are barely open? The Gym hours close before most people get off from their shifts. On weekends the gym is only open for 5 hours. 5 hours of a 48 hour weekend. How are fitness standards supposed to be maintained? There are approximately 400 sailors and soldiers who live in unaccompanied housing not including the wounded warriors. We are in the middle of our fitness cycle. People have PRT's scheduled for the pool on Tuesdays and Thursdays, what should they do? Two weeks ago the hours to the pool changed from opening from 5am to 6am apparently due to lighting, this was an extreme change. Now the pool is only open 38 hours a week. There are 168 hours in a week. That 22%. Fitness is one of the biggest stress reducers. Mental health and Morale at an all-time low, we have just taken away those opportunities. Most day of this summer has been over 90 degrees outside resulting in a black flag indicator outside. You are taking away all options. This will lead to more failures of the PRT and BCA as well as an even more incline of mental health crisis. How can we make a resolution to benefit not only our active duty but to our Wounded Warriors and civilians?

I'm sure it's a fine gym but PLEASE extend the hours just 1 or 2 hours later so that nurses and docs can workout after shift. The idea that you close right as a large portion of workforce are getting off is a shame.

They dont make it easy to workout at the gym.Parking is so tough. It used to be where one could park not far from the gym. Now you have to park far away. Once you are at the gym everything is great. The pool is awesome.

It's a shame that my rating can't be higher, because this used to be such a great place to swim. 50m set up once a month, open early, so many great benefits. Unfortunately, the pool has become completely unreliable. More often than not these days, the pool heater is not working properly and the air temperature on the pool deck in the 50s. I long for the days when you could count on the pool being a reliable source of maintaining physical fitness, which is so critical for military personnel and families.

MWR has some truly great gyms. Not everything can compare to NAS North Island/Coronado’s complex, but this one is great. Safe and clean with a great pool for lap swim and significant outdoor facilities for command PT.

There’s ample machines and free weights.

As with all base gyms, it’s pretty busy during peak hours and tough to navigate with COVID protocols, but the staff does a good job of enforcing the rules.

I’d like if there was a functional fitness room with CrossFit equipment. As is, it’s more of a Planet Fitness equivalent.

Great facility. Small weight room, but great gym, cardio room, and pool. Has group class schedule, and fitness challenges each month. Provides intramural sports and seasonal activities. Services Active Duty, retirees, and dependents. Would recommend if you have base access, and willing to deal with hustle and bustle of Active Duty rush (Breakfast-Lunch).

There is a plethora of equipment, rooms, cardio, indoor track, and pool. The locker room on the men's side is neglected. Hot water and water pressure have been lacking for more than 15 years. They do provide towels. The weight room is well equipped but at times can be over used.

The staff are amazing. They do have some nice equipment, but the setup is awkward and there is no drone noise or music in the gym at all. That to me is extremely awkward when you're already at close quarters with the other folks working out. I want to rate it higher for the staff alone, who I reiterate are outstanding, but I just cannot. If you strength train seriously, you may want to find another gym.

Good luck ever getting to use the equipment, the gym is tiny and full of a slew of maintenance shortfalls that make this gym a misery.

Simply put the facility needs to expand its space and hours, fix its water issues, and quit making the calisthenic room only for classes. Everyine deserves a space for calisthenics!
