Active-duty military members, reservists, retirees, and their family members with a military ID card are eligible for benefits, as are DOD civilians, retired DOD civilians, and their immediate dependents up to 21 years of age.
The Gaffney and Murphy Fitness Centers are funded entirely by government appropriations, which are based on the number of active-duty service members at the installation. However, this does not take into account the wear and tear of the facilities from the large number of people using them. As a result, the Department of Family and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (DFMWR) is jeopardizing its ability to provide a first-class fitness center for active-duty service members. To solve this problem, DFMWR must change its eligibility standards for both facilities.
Our top priority is making sure our service members are "Mission Ready." Thank you for your understanding and cooperation while we're going through this transition.
Children who are 13-17 years old may use the fitness center if they are accompanied by an adult who is authorized to be there. The child must have some form of identification that shows 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 300m continuously without assistance or training equipment to participate in lap swimming hours.
The person using the fitness center and 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 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.

Gym - Murphy Field House: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I'm
Positive experience: It's been closed due to covid
Fantastic experience: Ballin in this gym every Sat morning
Positive experience: Very small and congested gym.
Positive experience: It's a gym.
Fantastic experience: Very well maintained gym
Fantastic experience: Everytime I go, the gym is not crowded. Big thumbs up on that!
Positive experience: It's more of a basketball court than a gym. There's a small weight lifting area and cardio area. Otherwise it's fine. Maybe not so much for someone who's looking for a full gym
Positive experience: Weight room is mainly machines, but there's a gym and saunas besides the weight room.
Positive experience: A small gym but basketball courts that have open play on Saturday. You can sign up and get in line to play full court, but be ready because there are some good players. There is a section with treadmills and bikes, general cardio, but not much in the way of weights. You're better off going to Gaffney for a full workout with weights.
Positive experience: Great place to workout, not a busy place. Clean and employees are polite.
Positive experience: Just what you need for a workout
Positive experience: Fun place
Positive experience: Poor ventilation (and no A/C) on the basketball courts. Can make the place seem like a sauna on warmer days. The locker room and weight rooms are fine though.
Fantastic experience: Balling on Mon,Wed,and Fridays. Workout every other day.
Positive experience: It fails to support children under 15 and they have no other indoor gymnasiums
Positive experience: The "basketball culture" here takes some getting used to. Play to 9 or for 9 minutes. 2 full courts but every body only likes to play on one. Staff tries to get people to play on the other courts when its crowded. Super crowded on saturday's. Hours vary and aren't consistent for casual play.
Positive experience: An older facility dating to the '60's, but well-kept; neat & impressively clean! The shower stalls look new and are much better than the shower points at Tan Son Nhut.
Positive experience: Not too busy
Positive experience: Kind of a run down, dilapidated gym. They're supposed to be completing some renovations and replacing some of their old equipment though.
Fantastic experience: New weight area. Clean. Professional staff.
Positive experience: Murphy is an old-school field house. It's got an arched lattice roof and plenty of space, but the ventilation isn't great. They got huge fans to move the air with, but they are extremely loud, so it's difficult to do group activities that require talking. On the other hand, there is a lot to do for such a small gym. Two full sized basketball courts, plus a couple of exercise rooms and some weight equipment in the middle.
Positive experience: A good older facility that needs updating.
Positive experience: No free weights but good for balling
Positive experience: Clean floors a 2nd change rooms. But very strict in equipment and sports you can play.
Fantastic experience: Racquetball courts, basketball courts, and various shape rooms, great gym
