Horrible. Equipment sucks. Times don’t make sense. Locker room sucks. Better off using Admiral Prout Gym.

Horrible. Equipment is not good. Hot. Locker rooms run down. No even close to how awesome Admiral prout gym is.

Signs on door say it’s open, online it says they are open. I’m here at 0515 May 3, 2021 and they are NOT open.Pretty decent gym. A lot of cardio equipmemt, decent size weight room. They have another room thats for crossfit type workouts, tires in the back, saunas in the locker rooms. They have two other small rooms in the back with one or two machines that arent anywhere else in the gym as well as a punching bag. The only negative is they have some equipment that has been down for a while and the toilets and sinks in the locker room have been down a few times since Ive been here and I’ve only been comimg here about three months. The staff is super friendly and helpful so thats a huge plus.

This gym is nice nothing fancy it’s honoring its name, along with variety of jams but mostly when heavy metal is being played as well now that gives you motivation and pumps you up even though some folks disagree with it. I enjoy it it’s a gym not a library! Hooah!!!

Smells like a nursing home. Locker rooms smell like urine. Lockers are filthy. Boot camp showers. Paying for a membership elsewhere is well worth the cost when you consider this place as your other option. Good variety of equipment though... if you can actually get a turn to use it.

Its a base gym. Cramped weight room, dirty bars, would like more racks outside. Whatever mats and stuff they put outside is uneven with a lot of dips. Hard to get good foot placement. Cardio room is big and there are tires outside.

Terrible base gym, definitely lives up to its name. The locker rooms are small, cramped, and most lockers are either broken or dirty. Urinals, stalls, and sinks are always out of order. It seems like the only A/C that works is in the back body weight room, which feels like a freezer compared to the rest of the gym. 80% of the machines are old, decrepit, and falling apart. Its unfortunate that service members, who are required to stay in shape, are left with this garbage of a gym and for most people its their only option, because they dont have vehicles or dont want to pay for a separate gym membership. The only two parts of the gym that I can recommend are the outdoor weights area and the exit.The best base gym Ive seen so far is the Fleet Rec in Yokosuka, Japan. This gym needs a lot of attention and even better hours.

I like the sheer number of cardio equipment here and the weight room has plenty to offer. The facility itself is in need of repair though as the locker rooms are in bad condition and there are numerous holes in the wall throughout the building. I prefer the Field House.

Crowded during morning and afternoons. Definitely plenty of free weights and cardio machines to go around.

Not sure what the people who are marking this gym as 3 stars and higher but this place is not quite worthy of 3 starsHere are my reasons why I feel this place is deserving of a single star.1) its DIRTY!!! Locker rooms alone I went in regularly for a couple of weeks now and I noticed some areas where workout powders were spilled and noted the condition of cleanliness...it got worse and nothing was cleaned up... Most you will see is the towels would get collected and basic things like toilet paper replaced.... Shower room is starting to get the red mildew stuff we see on ships at sea.2) material condition is embarrassing... Locker room tons of the lockers are damaged and some have doors missing, half the toilets and urinals are not working and had out of order signs for the past couple of weeks now. Now for the gym side for treadmills half of them are broken and some of the equipment around the rest of the gym is in shady condition too.Overall I thought maybe i was being overly critical so I so spent a couple of weeks going to this gym in hopes maybe I caught it on a bad day which I can honestly say that it isnt the case. The staff are nice people but the cleanliness Im sure is contract related which isnt on them for that same as why equipment is down for weeks when this is a land facility it isnt like a ship where it will take some time and some coordinating to replace a treadmill.Another thing I wish they would note as well is what is being used more, they have a ton of cardio bikes but a fraction are PRT ones and the rest are not and were hardly touched the times I was in the gym so why not add some more of the things people waited on like treadmills and such.All this said if something could be done about the cleanliness issue and the broken things are fixed in a timely manner I would say this is a 3.5 star place.

This place is falling appart slowly. The gym is in need of an upgrade. It looks like a 1950s gym than hasnt been renovated or cared for since. Paint on walls is peeling off, 50% of bathroom urinals and sinks are broken, almost half of the treadmills are out of service, equipment is dirty and rusted. I still use it because of convenience, but it definitely needs some attention.***UPDATE 03NOV19***They replaced all their treadmills and stationary bicycles with new ones.

This gym is on NBSD dryside it is a good gym but we have so many to choose from this one should not be my 1st pick. It has one court to play basketball while the others have several. You can work out outside which is nice. They dont have a pool like the other gyms on base the locker room is good but I wish they had bigger lockers to I can fit my motorcycle helmet inside of one. Overall if give it a 4 of 5 star if you can get in there at a good time where there arent too many people in there. Good luck

The Olde Gym is where the physical commitments are a reality. The Fitness trainers assist with personnel reaching their fitness goals. Mike, and Maria create a welcome environment for bodybuilding competitors like myself who compete on a National level.

Pretty decent gym, friendly staff. It does need some renovation though and some of the equipment has been broken for a while now. This gym also needs more adjustable benches, I think they only have one right now. Also they dont open till 7am on Saturdays, not 6am as it says on here.

The best gym on this base, the outdoor lifting space is has several squat racks, benches, and pull up bars. There is no chalk provided and bags are not allowed in the lifting room but Ive never run into any issues in the outside space.
