Fantastic experience: Putin will teach Americans some judo moves on Aug. 15, 2025

Fantastic experience: Big gym, with all equipment you’ll need to get your swole on

Positive experience: Awesome Gym Great staff but if you’re deadlifting and everything starts flashing and you think you’re gona die don’t freak out, it’s the crap lighting.

Fantastic experience: Very good place for workout cardio

Fantastic experience: Quality base gym with plenty of benches, racks, machines, and amenities, such as a pool, racquetball courts, basketball courts, and and indoor running track.

Fantastic experience: It was clean, well equipped, and great mountain views. I wished it supplied towels but other than that amazing.

Fantastic experience: I go there at least 5 days a week and it’s always clean and the Airmen that work the front desk are always there with a smile to answer questions

Fantastic experience: One of the best base gyms by far. Staff was on point as well.

Negative experience: Pool staff is rude & contradicting.

Fantastic experience: Honestly, it's one of the best gyms I've ever been to.

Fantastic experience: I really like going here in the early afternoon before it gets really busy! The staff are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Nice place to chill, train, and hang out with your battle buddies.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, my only complain is they only have 1 set of traditional cables

Positive experience: It's like the planet fitness of military gyms on base. Has mostly what you want, but none of the good stuff like Buckner

Positive experience: Great staff and care to get my 24/7 access! Can't wait to get back in again. Hopefully, there is room for the personal trainer to see me a few times a week! Clean!

Fantastic experience: Great bass gym expect nothing less from the Air Force!! 24/7 access is too easy and it helps when you work odd schedules

Positive experience: Enjoy the lunch-break lap swims and variety of equipment. Rarely crowded over lunch hours. Group fitness classes could be organized more effectively.

Positive experience: Good facility. There's a decent amount of weight lifting options as well as several cardio options in the form of treadmill, bicycle, elliptical, stair stepper. They have four small basketball courts and several racquetball courts. 2 Yoga/aerobic rooms. The indoor track is only .1 miles long which was disappointing. Pool door was open though I'm not sure what the hours are without a lifeguard. Overall good facility.

Positive experience: Good equipment. Decently busy during peak hours but there's an upstairs area with more machines. Locker rooms are clean and showers do not have any shampoo or soap, also no towels provided. Adequate power racks. For a free on base gym there isn't much more you could ask for.

Fantastic experience: Top notch equipment, facilities, & programs. One of the best the AF has to offer.

Positive experience: Awesome gym when it’s actually open! The hours are sporadic though. I’ve driven there multiple times only for them to be closed with no notice posted anywhere. It’s always a gamble.

Fantastic experience: Probably the best military gyms I've been too. It's massive and plenty to do here

Fantastic experience: One of the nicest base gyms I’ve ever been to. They have loads and loads of equipment. Every turn you take there’s another room with more equipment.

Fantastic experience: Surprisingly well equipped, especially for cardio. Busy. It's busy. Especially lunch time.

Fantastic experience: One of the nicest gyms I've been to in the military. There are enough power racks that you'll never have to wait on one

Fantastic experience: Love it!! Can't wait for covid to go away to have way more variety of equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great Fitness Center. Pool is still under construction at least until this summer. Week day 24 hour access for both AD and retirees if you follow the directions on their web page.

Fantastic experience: Basketball gym currently in use for COVID-19 shot. Overall gym looked clean and had nice equipment.

Fantastic experience: My husband prefers Elmo gym over Buckner gym (due to the crowd). They’re both the same equipment-wise. I love that it has an outdoor track right in front of the gym. Such a beautiful scenery while walking or jogging.

Fantastic experience: Just the best!

Positive experience: No handicap access

Positive experience: Well put up Pfizer shot

Negative experience: Terribly unhelpful staff on a power trip.

Positive experience: Decent fitness center. Has mostly everything you need. But if you are mostly in cross fit, it is the perfect gym for you.

Negative experience: The gym itself is decent. Has plenty of equipment. But the Air Force loves not working so this gym is usually poorly staffed and the hours are sporadic and terrible. 24 hour access doesn't work well either.

Fantastic experience: My husband prefers Elmo gym over Buckner gym (due to the crowd). They’re both the same equipment-wise. I love that it has an outdoor track right in front of the gym. Such a beautiful scenery while walking or jogging.

Fantastic experience: Love the 24 access DOD ID Card holder. That gives an opportunity to workout when ever you want to no excuses why you are not fit.

Fantastic experience: All you need to do your work out an more

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and maintained very well.

Fantastic experience: 24 hour access is great, facility is well kept, the only draw back is a large portion of the upstairs is shut down due to earthquake damage.

Fantastic experience: A lot of equipment. Unfortunately the track and pool are still closed

Fantastic experience: Nice gym

Negative experience: They like to close at random times for no reason

Negative experience: Overcrowded and 1/2 the bldg is still shutdown from the earthquake almost 12 months ago.

Positive experience: It’s best place that any person that likes running can enjoy a run with the track and treadmills during the winter.

Positive experience: Really nice fitness center with lots of equipment, good open space.

Positive experience: I hated it when they got rid of the personal disposable towels to clean up the equipment after use.

Positive experience: Overall decent quality gym. I'd advise anyone with a membership (CAC) to get the new twenty four- hour access card because the staffed hours are limited. You can get a brochure on the display when you first walk in and it will guide you through the required steps to accomplish that. Aside from that it's a solid, clean gym with a diverse amo uh not of equipment at your disposal. Get the gains!

Fantastic experience: Clean. And well organized. A great fitness center.

Fantastic experience: Plenty to do here. during busy hours you'll still find a machine to use, they have a nice variety of machines. They offer many classes to sign up for-workout, dance, spin, swimming, etc. Saunas are nice...when they're working. Over all very nice place to blow off some steam, also switched to 24 hours which is super helpful

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with everything I personally could ask for. Pool, basketball courts, raquetball courts, indoor track, tons of weights and machines, yoga room, sauna, etc etc. New 24hr program was just implemented. Be sure to ask the front desk on how to sign up.

Fantastic experience: Solid gym after the upgraded. All the machines were moved, and the main floor now includes like 12 2-person power racks. As a powerlifter, I couldn't be more pleased.

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility, they have everything you could want in a gym.

Fantastic experience: Great Equipment lots of variety

Fantastic experience: Excellent place! Great gym with excellent equipment, classes, and locker rooms. The staff is very helpful and as a benefit there is a coffee/health bar.

Positive experience: Not bad but Buckner is better

Positive experience: It's a military gym. Just like so many others.

Positive experience: I would give it 5 stars if it was open 24 hours.

Positive experience: Pretty busy typically during late afternoon and early morning. Well equipped gym.

Negative experience: Seems like the pool is always closed during normal business hours, try closing the pool after hours for maintenance. Additionally, the gym is not 24hrs which limits other shifts gym options severely.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with everything I personally could ask for. Pool, basketball courts, raquetball courts, indoor track, tons of weights and machines, yoga room, sauna, etc etc. New 24hr program was just implemented. Be sure to ask the front desk on how to sign up.

Fantastic experience: The gym is rarely ever packed, they have a ton of free weights and machines, have an indoor track with a ton of treadmills, 3 basketball courts, and an indoor swimming pool!

Fantastic experience: Every time I come here I feel completely fine. By that I mean that I don't feel any judgement with being overweight or feel anyone staring at me. There is excellent equipment, excellent people, and a general politeness with all patrons that is refreshing. My husband says he's been to many gyms and that this is by far the nicest one he's ever worked out in. The pool is also great!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Alaska. The facilities are uncontested by private brands outside the base. Everything for exercise you would ever want is offered here. More classes would be nice such as aquatic aerobatics or more spin classes would be an improvement.
