Short Fitness & Sports Center

Fantastic experience: Very clean and nice place.

Fantastic experience: Very nice facility

Fantastic experience: One the best gyms I’ve been too

Fantastic experience: COVID 19 protective measures in place here. You must wear your mask at all times while visiting the fitness center (indoor facility). Very clean and well maintained. Staff personnel are extremely helpful and courteous. There are a variety of equipment and workout options available. I enjoy coming here. Kudos to the management and support staff.

Fantastic experience: Big gym with plenty of equipment.

Fantastic experience: It's a nice gym.

Fantastic experience: The most incredible, expansive, and all-encompassing gym you'll ever witness.

Fantastic experience: This South Tampa gym is a great spot for AD, veterans with ID to get on post, reservists, and guardsmen. I bring my family, too, since there's a special section for kids with a bounce house. It's fully equipped with all kinds of cardio machines, stretching aids, and an outdoor track. On the weekends, I usually get to enjoy the gym all to myself in the early morning - we really enjoy it here!

Fantastic experience: Very large facility. Sometimes you have to look in odd places to find some of the more unique equipment. There is also an open air gym outside, with more than enough options to keep the biggest fitness freaks entertained, occupied, and well worked. The hours are very limited, but that seems to be a general trend around the area.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Clean with friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: One of my favorite gyms by far. The staff do a good job of keeping the place clean and organized and they take the mask mandate seriously.

Fantastic experience: Nice rubberized track with stations for pull ups and a lot more.

Fantastic experience: You're greeted by friendly staff at the front desk who will go out of their way to ensure you know your way around and will answer any questions you may have. The facility is hard to describe as it's so massive that even pictures don't do it justice. I guess if you took 20 Gold's Gym's and added more equipment then it might come close to equaling the scale of MacDill's. It's not just the amount and variety of equipment, it's the quality. Our Armed Forces are second to none and deserve the best and this facility ticks off all of those boxes.

Fantastic experience: Comprehensive gym with a full range of weights and equipment well maintained.

Fantastic experience: Very clean, the people there take an active approach to keeping it squared away.

Fantastic experience: Connie led an all star cycle 45 class. Great work out class.

Fantastic experience: The gym is great, with plenty of equipment to do a variety of exercises. It is kept very clean, and the staff are friendly.

Fantastic experience: Luigi's BootCamp class was incredibly enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: When you enter the facility, you are warmly welcomed by the staff at the front desk. They will do their best to make sure you know your way around and will be happy to answer any questions you might have. It is difficult to put into words how massive the facility is; even pictures do not do it justice. If you combined the size of 20 Gold's Gym's and added more equipment, it might come close to the size of MacDill's. Not only is the amount and variety of equipment impressive, but the quality is top-notch. Our Armed Forces are the best in the world and deserve the best, and this facility certainly meets all the criteria.

Fantastic experience: Better than going off base during this Pandemic!! Really like the measures put in place. The best part is it is not crowded.

Fantastic experience: This gym is one of the only military gyms I know that have 24 hours accessibility. It has a shake bar and many fitness rooms. You also are accessible to the outside rubber track and huge plush green grass field (also artificial)! This is a 5 star gym in my books!

Fantastic experience: Need base access. Excellent facilities! Currently in COVID mode so only allowing a limited number of people inside and a mask is required in most areas. This keeps it pretty empty and most machines are open without a wait.

Fantastic experience: It's difficult to maintain cleanliness and order in a gym with so many users, especially in the morning around typical mandatory PT times, but the staff and users here do a great job. I think this gym could use an expansion for both the weight floor and cardio equipment, but they keep what they have well maintained. The outdoor facilities are great and the tracks and running trails are also very nice. Tons of showers available which is great during busier hours.

Fantastic experience: It is a military gym (Airforce). Very large with a great selection of equipment. Rarely overcrowded.

Fantastic experience: Best Air Force gym i've ever been to. Great staff, excellent equipment and LOVE the 24 hr access for military personnel. If your Air Force/Army/Marine/Navy/Coast Guard just register your CAC at the front desk of the Short Fitness Center and they will make you sign a statement of understanding. Bam 24 hr access, and no need for a local gym membership. Plus people at this gym take it seriously and they are there to do work.

Fantastic experience: The children's area is one of the best I've seen when it comes to base gyms (I've been to one base whose gym had a children's area with no toys and just 2 eliptical machines haha). Here they have a blow-up house for the kids and lots of machines and weight equipment for adults to use while keeping on eye on their kids.

Fantastic experience: The best of best. So grateful to have experienced this gym. It's beautiful clean and exciting. I definitely rate this Physical Fitness Center the Best of Best!!!, . Keep up the excellent hard work.

Fantastic experience: Wow! Nice facility! Clean, modern gym with several dedicated workout zones. We are staying at the Coons Creek Famcamp so this is a short hop skip and jump for a good workout. Sure glad we decided to check it out.

Fantastic experience: I've been to MANY MANY Military gyms from Seattle to Tampa and Sandiego to Fort Bragg...This is the nicest gym I've ever been to! Everything you need and Many things you may never use (but they have that/those too)

Fantastic experience: This place has almost everything you need for a workout. CrossFit, check. Free weights, check. They even have cycling classes as well as you if your into that. One thing it may not have is an indoor pool. However a pool is nearby so it doesn't really matter.

Fantastic experience: I go there to play racquet ball and it's clean and awesome! Except they are using one of the courts for fitness which is messed up!

Fantastic experience: Great gym pretty packed early mornings and during lunch hours but night time is all yours

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. The AF definitely knows how to build amazing facilities.

Fantastic experience: State of art facility. Great benefit for military on and near MacDill. Better than any gym I've seen in civilian market.

Fantastic experience: Plenty of space and equipment to use. Running tracks outside are in good condition.

Fantastic experience: Has some of the best variety of a gym that I have ever been to.

Fantastic experience: Impressive gym with lots of equipment. Spacious & clean. Top notch!

Fantastic experience: Rise and shine workouts are the best! Get it in early, energizing your entire day! This is a wonderful gym to gey yourself back in shape , continue your fitness journey and even hit the body building stage. This gym is for every level of fitness and physique.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. A lot of equipment and everyone that goes is very friendly. My daughter who is 6 really enjoys going because of all the things she can do and how friendly everyone is. She has a rare bleeding disorder, which makes getting into sports a little dangerous. However, getting her into fitness has been safe, healthy, fun, and affordable because of the Macdill fitness center.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever, the fitness trainer machine where you can select your own workout is awesome, especially the spin class. The cleaning crew works hard. Front desk personnel could be more friendly. It appears they are more friendly with people they identify with versus all. It takes seconds to say goodmorning

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best I've seen on a military installation. When it's packed, it's difficult to find an open machine or workout rack but that's usually the case anywhere. However, this place has everything, including an indoor play area for toddlers. So you can workout while your kids play.

Fantastic experience: A really nice base gym most all of the equipment works, always clean just wish it was open longer hours. It closer early on the weekends so ck to make sure it is open before ya come. There is a way of requesting after hours access with your ID, you just have to register it with the front desk.

Fantastic experience: State of the art fitness facility, with all the modern equipment needed to maintain a fitness program. Lead exercise classes, smothies and snacks cafe, massage by appointment. 24 hr Access with previous registration and access card. No excuse needed just all that you need to enjoy a workout.

Fantastic experience: They have everything and dumbbells up to 150lbs. One of the best gyms compared to several gyms around the world. No local gym can compare.

Fantastic experience: It has everything you'd want in a gym. Classes, kid room, equipment checkout, two different running tracks, truck tire.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I have been to. Amazing!!! Very clean.

Fantastic experience: Great for working out but gets pretty crowded during the day.

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Would be even better if they offered an indoor pool...at least somewhere in tampa!

Fantastic experience: If I only had this gym closer! The gym is huge equipped with free weights, barbells, treadmills, etc. There is a stand at the exit where you can grab some protein.

Fantastic experience: Full service Gym, Wellness Center with many many options for classes in spinning, yoga and much much more. They also have a track outside, baseball fields, racketball, basketball and healthy food options and smoothie bar.

Fantastic experience: Good solid fitness center. You can't beat free, clean, and 24 hours. Unless they start handing out free stuff, oh wait they do sometimes. There is a smoothie bar inside that is quality only thing is the staff is friendly and funny. Not a bad thing
