The Gaffney Fitness Center offers a wide range of activities and facilities to help you stay in shape, including athletics, sports, fitness, aerobics, racquetball, cardio, swimming, aquatics, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, treadmills, steppers, bikes, rowers, workout, and sauna.
Coverings for the face are not required at the Gaffney Fitness Center at any time. Please continue to keep a distance from others and clean the machines before and after using them.
The Gaffney Fitness Center is currently allowing a maximum of 120 customers in at any given time. Each person is allowed to stay for one hour, and staff will give each person a colored bracelet to help keep track of the time.
Active-duty military members, reservists, retirees, and their family members with a military ID card are able to shop at the commissary. DOD civilians, retired civilians, and their immediate dependents up to 21 years of age are also able to shop at the commissary.
The Gaffney and Murphy Fitness Centers are only funded by government money, which is based on the number of active-duty service members at the installation. This does not cover the wear and tear of the facilities from the current number of people using them. To accommodate more people, DFMWR is risking not being able to provide a first-class fitness center for active-duty service members. DFMWR must change its eligibility standards for both facilities.
Our top priority is making sure our service members are "Mission Ready." Thank you for understanding and cooperating during this time of transition.
Children between the ages of 13 and 17 may use the fitness center if they are accompanied by an adult. They must have some form of identification that includes their age in order to enter the facility. The adult must stay with the child at all times.
Children aged 13-17 must be able to swim at least 300 m (12 lengths of pool) continuously in freestyle or breaststroke or a combination of the two without assistance of training equipment to participate in lap swimming hours.
The person using Gaffney Fitness Center and Murphy Field House is responsible for their own belongings. MWR will not be held responsible for any property that is lost or stolen. Please bring your own lock for lockers. Staff members are not responsible for safeguarding personal property.
The use of foul language, yelling, fighting, or heated arguments is not tolerated at any time for any reason. Gaffney/Murphy staff will handle inappropriate behavior in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures.
Murphy Field House will now be open 24/7 to authorized registered patrons 18 years and older. This is beyond the normal operating hours.
The G9 division is responsible for creating and delivering programs that improve morale, welfare, and recreation for Army personnel. These programs are designed to help soldiers be ready and resilient to respond to global challenges.
