The many fitness centers on Fort Bragg provide Soldiers and Family Members with recreation and fitness opportunities. These centers are located in the Fort Bragg and surrounding communities.
The following groups of people are allowed to use PFCs: active duty military personnel and their Families, Reservists and their Families, Delayed Entry/Delayed Training recruits, cadets of Armed Forces academies, Retirees and their Families, and DOD ID card holders and their Family members. Other authorized patrons are listed in table 7-1 of AR 215-1 from September 24, 2010. Usage of PFCs is regulated by AR 215-1 from September 24, 2010, in Chapter 7, paragraphs 7-1 and 7-2. If MWR facilities can't accommodate all of the authorized patrons, the garrison commander will decide who gets to use the facilities and in what order. These priorities are based on the priorities establish in table 7–1.
Garrison commanders will ensure that only authorized patrons are allowed to use any MWR program. Proof of eligibility must be shown in order to access PFCs.
The access card issued to active duty military personnel, Selected Reserve, DOD civilian employees, and other eligible personnel will be used for identification purposes.
The AR 600-8-14 lays out the identification card requirements for retired military personnel, their families, Reserve personnel who are not part of the Selected Reserve, and other individuals who are not authorized to have a common access card.
Identification for exchange students and au pairs will either be a locally developed card or a limited duration letter of access issued by the commander or designee.
A card or letter specifically for those granted access to MWR facilities per table 7–1 may be used to identify them, as they are not eligible for the standard identification cards.

Callahan Athletic Center: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Clean and small New to this soo not intimidating
Fantastic experience: Clean and small New to this soo not intimidating
Fantastic experience: Favorite gym on Fort Bragg!!
Fantastic experience: Great and you can have a 24/7 option when registered.
Fantastic experience: This is where it all started for me! I remember walking to this gym from Eureka Springs as 13-year-old kid back in 1989 when Fort Bragg was an open Base. I would sit outside of this gym and asked the soldiers to sign me in! I wasn't a military dependent so I didn't have an ID to get access. For the most part I would get in. The front desk guy would come outside and ask me who i was waiting for. I made up some name just to get him off my back. But then he noticed i would always sign in with a different person. To make a long story short he started letting me in!! I was there when the boxing ring was still there!! I can't express what this gym means to me. I'm currently a General Manager for a fitness center franchise. This was the first gym I ever attended!! June 4, 1999, I was finishing up a workout I lost track of time that and missed my high school graduation. I got a speeding ticket from an MP that forced me to go to traffic school so it would show up on my insurance. This place will always and forever be the reason why i took the fitness route of life: Professional Boxer, Marathon runner, 3 times NPC Title holder, Bachelors in Bio-Kinesiology and has always been gym goer 1989. Thanks Callahan!!!

Fantastic experience: Not a bad fitness center at all. Keep in mind, compared to other gyms on base this one is a bit smaller, however, it definitely has everything you need for a good workout: it has free weights that include dumbells up to 150lbs, about 3 flat bench press stations, 1 incline and decline press station, and 3 squat racks. You have your standard cable machines here as well that include seated row, pulldown etc. Decent variety of workout machines that target all muscle groups and a good amount of cardio equipment if you're looking for that as well. This gym offers 24 hour access- if you're looking to hit the gym after hours with little to no interruption from other people, ladies and gents, this is the way. Set it up before 1800 with the staff over there and you'll be golden.

Fantastic experience: Home of the Callahan Iron Monster Squad. It's been over a year, But Callahan is STILL the place to be for your fitness needs. Gone are the floor mats and floor grab bar. That's so disappointing. DRAGON FLAGS are no longer possible. But every thing else is ready to go!
Fantastic experience: They finally brought back 24 hr access for military personnel. Gonna be enjoying that again. Have a smoothly bar and is always kept clean. Gets pretty busy some days but there are those few hours that it stays empty and you can get access to machines and weights.
Positive experience: Good, clean gym with good service. A few equipment under service, should be back soon.

Fantastic experience: A 24/7 gym for those that like late night workouts or going during non-peak hours. You have to register your CAC at the front desk in order to have 24/7 access to the facility. Overall great gym with plenty equipment. Not only for weights but also for cardio you have your rowing machines, treadmills and bikes. Depending what time you go it can be really crowded but that’s any gym on post. If you have free time while everyone else is at work that’s when it is less crowded. They have electronic scales, showers and lockers located in the restrooms. Check out the smoothie bar for yourself that has a variety of choices!
Fantastic experience: It's going to be open 24/7 soon !
Fantastic experience: I really like this gym started at this gym with my husband when we moved here and will continue to go to this gym even while he’s away. Best times (if you can go) are 8:30am-10am. It’s usually super packed every other time I’ve been and this is the best times to feel really comfortable without feeling like everyone’s looking at you. It’s really small but perfect for me. It has a little bit of everything you need to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Fantastic experience: This isn't the biggest Gym on Fort Bragg, but it definitely has the best hours. They have a variety of free weights, machines, a full set of dumbbells and adjustable benches, squat racks, treadmills, bicycles, rowing machines, ellipticals, and they also have some medicine balls and an area for abs.
