Some of us are about "that life." The gym is a place get stronger or sometimes to relieve some stress. I can say that I have been to many bases and not all of them are created the same. By far I think the best gyms are on AF bases. Back when it was Pope AFB had the best gym in the Fort Bragg area. Another great one is at Fort Dix, or the AFB that is adjacent to Fort Dix really.
The gym at the base I am at currently feels a bit too cramped and some the equipment seems a bit odd. Mainly non-standard free weight stuff.
Where is the best gym you have been too? This way I can have at least a heads up were to hit up if I stop by.

The new one at Fort Carson was pretty stellar. I felt like I was at an AF gym.

Just to be sure I edited it. It was a joke aimed at those that don't wonder outside of the gym.

Ah ha. Gotcha CPT (Join to see), I use to run outside every chance I got, but being stationed in Michigan has changed my mentality. I have no problem running indoors up here.

CW4 (Join to see) - Just to be clear it was intended to be a joke about guy not being man enough to run outside. I got down voted for a joke. I just wanted to make it clear that women run outside too.

I can't agree with you more, during my time in services, all the good gyms are located in AFB based

Nellis AFB has a nice gym if you can keep those airmen from doing curls in the squat rack.

The sad part is they were all curling about 75lbs, I can curl 75lbs...like seriously guys, aren't you embarrassed? I always say that if you to curl in the squat rack, that most mean you aren't strong enough to lift the bar all the way to the ground.

Ours was a large clamshell that they would open up on both ends each day. Allowed the breeze to come in.

The nicest military gym I have ever seen in my life was at West Point. It was like 5 stories and only the cadets were allowed to use it. That big beautiful place was empty ALL the time...so sad. The next nicest gym was the brand new one that was built on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, built on the Navy side.

Hill AFB has a super nice gym with a rock climbing wall but it's always full of people. I like how they have an Olympic size swimming pool I can use at the Hess

The gym at Hill is OK. The biggest problem is the 20000+ civilians that take up the place at all hours of the day

FT Benning near the Rangers area can't remember the name of it had a smoothie bar and a wide variety of equipment with pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room. The gym's in Iraq/ Afghanistan/ Kuwait were very nice too.
