Buckley Fitness Center: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Outstanding military fitness center
Positive experience: Rivals most commercial gyms
Fantastic experience: wonderful staff
Positive experience: A great base gym. Could do with upgrading many of the equipment. Plenty of options here, tennis, squash, spinning, basketball and many many more. Please consider upgrading all the weightlifting equipment.
Negative experience: I'm really upset they don't have waist reduction or inner thigh reduction machines.. Terrible..
Fantastic experience: Very quiet and nice. Much better than naval base san diegos gym!
Fantastic experience: Staff is great and facility is clean
Fantastic experience: Great place. You get what you put in .
Negative experience: It's a good gym, friendly staff but the sauna room has been temporarily closed for over a year now. If it's about the fund, I'm willing to contribute some funds for the fix, and I believe others may also be interested in helping out.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and good selection of fitness equipment.
Positive experience: Seems to be a very nice place to workout and get some exercise on Buckley
Fantastic experience: I’ve purchased a number of additions to my home gym here and have had good experiences each time. They sell high quality equipment and can also provide references to responsive third parties for other needs like gym flooring installation or wall partitions.
Fantastic experience: Mr. Rob Bring was so professional and nice at the front desk. Hhhhmmm wondering why he is not in the Air Force members like this young man are what we need more of. MSgt. Roll
Fantastic experience: Two stories with an indoor track and cardio room upstairs. Incredibly friendly staff and kept very clean.
Fantastic experience: The facility is clean and has plenty of equipment to use!
Fantastic experience: Always so nice training here. Never fails
Positive experience: They have it all!!
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to thank you for allowing us veterans to use the gym on base.
Fantastic experience: Nice facility
Fantastic experience: if you can get on base there are free personal trainers available and a simulator golf course
Negative experience: "Being green"...bring your own towel.
Negative experience: Kind of gross that they don’t provide wipes or paper towels for the equipment in an effort to be “green” (hmm). The solution is to either wait 5 mins to let the equipment “air dry” with the provided spray or exercise in a pool of sweat and cleaner.
Fantastic experience: Huge fitness center, very nice.
Fantastic experience: This fitness center has definitely improved.
Positive experience: You don't need to do anything or show anyone anything to enter. It's labeled as the human performance center, which kind of throws you off. Decent place, friendly workers up front. They've got open volleyball play on Thursday 3-6pm. It's a decent base gym, for how small the base is.

Positive experience: It was great for me to do my rehab for my shoulder shooting the basketball. I made 15 out of 35 from the free throw. I love playing it.
Fantastic experience: I really like this workout facility! I'm a new military spouse and this is only the 2nd military gym I've been to, but it has EVERYTHING I need for a workout. There are different rooms to do aerobics, mat work, cardio, weights, golf simulation, racquetball, and crossfit. The gym is huge and can host a plethora of team sports simultaneously. No matter what time I go to the gym, it is hardly ever busy. I really enjoy "The Pit" where I can do some crossfit workouts and then I mosey upstairs to the cardio area to row. The front desk staff is always so patient with me. Because I am new to the gym, I ask where things are, etc and everyone I have ever asked a question to has been so helpful and have never made me feel like I'm bothering them. Yesterday, I inquired about the spin bikes since they have recumbent bikes and different bikes in the cardio room and was told they are in the west gym. I was able to make up my own workout on the spin bike for 40 mins thanks to all my years of going to spin studios. With the extensive variation of equipment, you'll definitely get the workout you're wanting and because it's never busy, you'll always have access to equipment immediately.
Fantastic experience: I went in this morning and the place was not busy probably because of the snow. The front counter help was very professional and I asked a few questions that they were able to answer. The place was clean and squared away. Happy to see how clean it was and very glad to be able to use this gym as it is only a few miles from my home.
Fantastic experience: They have every piece of equipment you can think of.
Fantastic experience: I'm impressed by the quality of all of the fitness equipment, the multiple locations for strength training and the variety of cardio classes. Well done!
Fantastic experience: Great staff, tons of equipment, super clean, and great locker room.
Fantastic experience: Everything u need
Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service and you can finally go there without a mask if your vaccinated which is super awesome!
Positive experience: friendly staff
Fantastic experience: One of the nicer military base gyms I've been to.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to workout.
Negative experience: Not good. They fail to post new hours. Holiday hours are short and it makes no sense to close on the weekends with Covid. It creates more pressure during the week. Also the I seem to have twice the staff they need. What do they even do? Bad use of resources.
Fantastic experience: Everything is spaced and cleaned well
Fantastic experience: I've never had any issues with the gym. There's a wide variety of equipment and I enjoy my time here.
Positive experience: An impressive fitness center when you consider the fact that Buckley is a relatively small base. Plenty of machines, a good-sized weight room, etc. When I went, the gym was open but COVID-19 restrictions meant the locker room was closed, so that’s a pain if you have to change clothes. Still, it’s a great fitness center and worth checking out.
Fantastic experience: Great staff basketball court and gym
Fantastic experience: Lots of equipment to get a good workout n love the indoor track.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, always enough room, lots of options, clean and staff and patrons are always respectful and curteous. I love this place.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to exercise
Positive experience: Great DoD gym
Fantastic experience: Grandioso
Positive experience: Where is the Wi-Fi? Fix the Wi-Fi because most people steam there workout music. because Facility is a little dated but well maintained but could use a remodel to better utilize the space. Cardio equipment are scattered in the hallways. Broken machines are out right in the open. Overall, this place gets the job done.
Fantastic experience: Nice gym.
Fantastic experience: Definitely a good place to workout and get your gym time in. It does get packed by 4pm.
Fantastic experience: One of the better gyms our Air Force has to offer. Great customer service from the staff. Has almost everything you can ask for in a fitness center. I always enjoy working out there.
Positive experience: It's your typical base gym, but the staff is always friendly. Main weight room is a tad on the small side, but they have a "crossfit" room with some strongman items sprinkled in there as well. While that room is small, it is definitely amazing and makes the gym. Separate cardio room upstairs with a big selection of cardio equipment, that coupled with some racquetball courts and a basketball court makes up the gym.
Positive experience: The wi-fi is awful. Wish I could work there, looks like you get paid for just sitting there. Staff not that friendly. Gym has a lot to offer
Fantastic experience: Excellent!
Fantastic experience: Warm and friendly staff. Facility is always clean with great hours
Fantastic experience: Always nice!
Fantastic experience: Lots of equipment, not too crowded,
Fantastic experience: Nice and clean
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere! The weight room is kinda quiet but that can be a good thing. Staff is helpful and friendly. I can always find a spot to do HIIT.
Positive experience: A small step above your typical base gym. A small amount of the equipment is in operable, and they're waiting on repairs. The staff is always super nice, and ready/eager to help people better themselves! Big negative is the "24/7 access" that only provides access to a hallway, and badminton courts. With the type of staff and shift schedules we have at this base, it would be a worthy investment of funds to make the moves for having the gym actually manned 24/7, to allow for TRUE 24/7 access.
Negative experience: Small facility, not enough machines in the weight room and there’s hardly ever any hot water.
Fantastic experience: Indoor track is great.
Positive experience: While functionally this gym is impressive with how many types of equipment are in such a small building, the upstairs track suffers with very tight corners and a 25+ lap mile.
Fantastic experience: Nice gym and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Nice
Positive experience: Huge... Played basketball mostly but tons of ways to get you for on. Courteous staff and members.
Positive experience: Small weight room, no pool and locker room needs updates
Fantastic experience: They have the equipment to do what everything you need in regards to weights or cardio machines.
Positive experience: Favorite place to stop on the way home from work. Clean,maintained equipment,Friendly Staff. Military Access Required.
Positive experience: Great selection of gear. Always adding more to the place and awesome to see that you have a rogue rig in a space devoted to cross training.
Fantastic experience: Freeeeeeeee
Fantastic experience: Courteous staff and a clean workout environment.
Positive experience: Nice gym, on Buckley airforce base/post! It has a basketball court, speed classes, running track, cardio room, and a few exercise classes!
Fantastic experience: Great service and a smile always. Small but effective gym.
Positive experience: Great gym! Great staff.
Positive experience: Wifi needs improvement, otherwise fine
Fantastic experience: Love this place! Great gym on post!
Fantastic experience: Great Air Force gym, including an indoor track, Spin bikes, plus the norm. They also have classes and personal trainers, something many Bases don't have.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym. But you can only go if you have access to a military installation.
Negative experience: The family room needs to be updated and made bigger. The room is like 12x12 with one elliptical machine, one treadmill and a weight set... and toys on the other side. I came in today with my two children, and there were two ladies using the machines and one child in a carseat. It felt very tight/claustrophobic in there and on top of that, I didn't have a machine to use unless I wanted to wait 30 mins for either of them to finish. I haven't used any other parts of the gym, but this was a waste of my time... as a mother with children who wanted to use that specific area of the gym.
Positive experience: It's great for an early morning grind. It has a lot of useful equipment, and fitness programs. My only beef with the place is the Wi-Fi service is some-timey, and there is no pool.
Fantastic experience: Relatively new and well maintained facility.
Positive experience: It gets super crowded in the morning and in the afternoon. The layout also seems last minute.
Positive experience: Great facilities. Mostly clean and well kept, with lots of available equipment. Running track, treadmills, weight rooms. All if high quality. No swimming pool unfortunately.
Fantastic experience: Really only available to those with base access but a great gym with an indoor track, weight room, cardio room, basketball courts, and racketball courts. Locker rooms have saunas and showers.
Fantastic experience: So much to do, love the way it's spread out. Staff is always friendly, so ate the people who work out here.
Fantastic experience: I love this place
Positive experience: This is a decent gym with everything you could hope for minus a pool. The equipment is clean and in good condition. The locker rooms are large and well-laid out. The staff however, seems to constantly screw up the reservations I make which has led to a few confrontations that they were all but willing to help settle.
Positive experience: Great gym with lots of choices. Would be much better if the sauna was working. I recommend placing a rope or two in the gym. The staff is very helpful and nice.
Fantastic experience: Great modern facility with a great assortment of fitness equipment. The employees are extremely helpful.
Positive experience: Great facility. Entry only to members with access Buckley AFB.
