Commando Fitness Center

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy this center. It has everything to complete my fitness needs!

Positive experience: Great gym.... when all the amenities work. Lately no hot water and there has been multiple issues with a/c in the past year.

Negative experience: Free Connor!

Negative experience: Awful staff and awful equipment they were so rude free Connor Matthew’s

Negative experience: Free Connor Matthews

Negative experience: Bad experience disrespecting members FREE CONNOR @Cstan.850

Fantastic experience: Sauna works and gym is actually open! (Take note Eglin Fitness Center).

Fantastic experience: Great Airman at the service counter. Great facility. So much equipment!! Some of the equipment are too close together. Recommend someone doing a site survey

Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the best, and largest, military gym I've been to. If there is a machine (minus CrossFit specific stuff), they most likely have it. If you don't like crowds, late morning, early afternoon is your best bet.

Positive experience: Good gym. Good assortment of weights, which means you don't have to wait to actually get a pump.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym for weight lifting, loads of machines and variety.

Negative experience: As a lifter I recommend Eglin. The Commando has one of the worst weightlifting layouts I’ve ever seen. It’s a converted basketball court filled with single exercise Hammer Strength stations, ie the flat bench that only does bench presses. None have safety bars so you can’t safely PR a bench. Replacing them with a half dozen power racks and multi-use benches would add a lot more flexibility. There’s only one full power rack in the entire facility and the squat stands have fixed safety bars. This doesn’t work if you’re short. Don’t get me started on all the 35lb plates wasting rack space. Finally there’s no chalk allowed. Chalk is a safety item so sweaty lifters can safely grip heavy bars.

Positive experience: Pretty good gym but Sauna has been down for quite a while.

Fantastic experience: Excellent fitness center. Very well maintained equipment.

Fantastic experience: Clean great staff

Fantastic experience: Nice clean facility with a lot of options for working out.

Fantastic experience: Clean gym and is full of equipment. The staff is nice and helpful. The cafeteria is delicious

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best gym I’ve been to in my career. I’ve probably been to over 30 base gyms so far and this is the best one. They have every machine you could ever want with a deprecate cardio room packed with treadmills and stair masters. I think this gym has 8 stair masters total so there’s never a time one isn’t open.

Fantastic experience: Besides a couple things here and there not working or the bathrooms being out for a while it’s not bad and is better if you have 24/7 access

Fantastic experience: Great gym, weight room is excellent.

Fantastic experience: Favorite work out spot

Fantastic experience: Much larger selection of free weights and barbell stations than Aderholt, but the same small selection of selectorized machines as Aderholt. I'd say if you're looking to do compound workouts (squat, bench, etc.) come here, if you're just looking to do a quick workout, Aderholt is just fine

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym on Hurlburt Field.

Fantastic experience: Gym was good, nice workout, clean, good water pressure, great staff

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Only one with a sauna on base.

Fantastic experience: Wanna make gainz? Go here

Fantastic experience: Better Bodies in house smoothie shop is amazing. Guilt free nutritional drinks and food. Great team that you gotta love. Johnny, Lin, Mimi.

Fantastic experience: Great place to do an InBody assessment

Fantastic experience: Great gym managed by great people. Tons of equipment and stays clean! Definitely better than any commercial gym in the county. No egos just alot of good people putting in work

Fantastic experience: Lots of machines, limited free weights and racks

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a huge weight room. Staff is excellent

Fantastic experience: Love that they have a sauna & many different options of machines. You can also set up an appointment for a massage - I've gotten one here and it was one of the best massages I've had.

Fantastic experience: Best gym on base

Fantastic experience: Love it here

Fantastic experience: Great facility and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Commando Gym has an extensive amount of workout equipment, especially in the main weight room. There are plenty of weight benches, squat racks, cable machines, and Hammer Strength machines. The equipment is updated pretty frequently and the only thing that could be improved would be a larger space for HIIT.

Fantastic experience: Self-explanatory.

Fantastic experience: One of the best installation gyms I have been to. It has everything I need. Josh is super helpful and extremely passionate about the well being of the patrons who visit this facility. The HAWK staff is incredible.

Positive experience: Huge weight area, small cardio area

Positive experience: Lots of equipment for all types of workouts. Always clean and the main gym is newly renovated.

Negative experience: The gym is nice, but the caucasian civilian guy at the front desk in the evening Josh, or whatever his name is he's "VERY" rude and egotistical. He comes across as a very racists spirited individual. His boss and the like should deal with him, but I guess it's the good ole boy system at work, Just my observations at how he treats some in there. The gym is 5 stars itself, but he makes this post a 1-star

Negative experience: Not fond of the civilian manager’s behavior. His name is Josh or Joshe (the name tag is hidden most days) but the chauvinistic behavior of “this is my gym” is like Gold’s gym all over again (I.e.: a lot testosterone and not much else). What happened? I tried asking him a question about equipment and his less than kind response was just rude. The tonality of his voice is unwelcoming and alarming. This isn’t the first occasion, just the first time I’m finally sharing. My service to this country extends me the ability to use a gym without feeling demeaned or attacked. It should not be treated as though it’s a favor to ask a employee for assistance. His behavior confirms the jaded format of why (as a woman) I feel uncomfortable around certain men in a gym. It reminds me of “the Napoleon complex” whereby a shorter statued man attempts to rectify his ill behavior by being a bully to others. Shame on him. I’m sharing because I’m sure I’m not the only woman whose felt this and because I don’t want someone to feel alone in their despair.

Positive experience: I live out in Navarre but work up at Duke Field so on the weekends I come to the Commando Gym. One of the better gyms I've been to on an Air Force base. There's literally never any wait time to get on a machine or claim a spot to workout because they so much equipment and even if the main lifting area is full they have more rooms with more equipment. Cardio room is on point too. You can tell they pride themselves on having a clean place to workout but they have some of the newest and well maintained equipment for use too. The only downside is that there's not a basketball court. It'd be nice to warm up or cool down from a workout with some hoops but you'd have to go Hurlburt's other gym for that which isn't a problem if you're already working out at that gym but is inconvenient if you're at the Commando. Still, a great spot to workout if your sole purpose is to lift weights and do cardio.

Fantastic experience: The best gym on Hurlburtfield!

Fantastic experience: No other place I rather go work out. This gym has everything you need

Fantastic experience: must have a military ID to get on base

Fantastic experience: Power lifters dream! The have taken an older gym and setup it perfectly! Turned the old basketball court into the weight room...it is massive! Best gym between the 2 bases in the area!!!

Fantastic experience: Good equipment!

Fantastic experience: Best gym on base

Fantastic experience: Plenty of weights, cable machines, and a few treadmills. Only ever been here during the after hours, typicaly around 11pm and there is hardly anyone here so I get the pick of anything I want to workout with. The Commando also has a raquet ball room.

Fantastic experience: Huge weight room! Probably the best gym on base for body building, you don't have to worry about people doing CrossFit getting in your way. Make sure you sign up to 24 hour access because it's very busy during normal hours.

Positive experience: Yarp.

Positive experience: Great gym, you must have base access though.

Positive experience: Great on base gym, has several weigh rooms and cardio rooms. Outdoor running courses and maps also available!

Fantastic experience: Great place, machines for all workouts and free weights galore.

Fantastic experience: Nice if you just want a lot of free weights

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! There is so much equipment and its 24/7 once you get cleared for after hour access.

Fantastic experience: Best gym on base hands down.

Fantastic experience: Best weight room on Hurlburt Field. They converted an entire gymnasium into the weight room. Cardio machine room has low ceilings and poor air circulation, recommend going to the Aderholt if that's your thing.

Fantastic experience: Great big weight room and tons or cardio equipment

Positive experience: Kinda smells weird now

Positive experience: Has everything that you need but after hours access is a bit complicated and dependants are not allowed after hours.

Positive experience: Has some of the best equipment in the area, but it can get hot in there!

Positive experience: Has the most gym equipment on Hurlburt but gets busy and hot easily
