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.

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.

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

Probably one of the best gyms Ive been to on a military installation.

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

Its 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.

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

Has 3 separate places with machines and courts as well, oh and an upstairs cardio area, not as impressive as some reviews make it

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.

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.

Great gym. Clean with friendly staff.

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

Very sanitary and clean. Wide variety of equipment to use to get your gains.

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

The gym is now open with slightly different operating hours. Due to COVID precautions, you need to bring your own towel, water bottle and wear a mask. Each patron is only allotted 1 hour to workout, so come prepared.

It’s spacious

Outdoor track was great and clean on the inside.

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!

Great equipment and facilities for your exercise needs.

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.

At first glance its immense and should have everything you could ever need, but the devil is in the details. It missing some of the small things that make smaller gyms better (like certain or enough of those weights, enough of machines that are more popular, etc). Besides it missing some of the details, the hardware seriously needs updating. Much of the equipment is at or past its prime, not to mention the amount of bumper plates that are barely holding together. Overall very nice gym if you hit it at off-peak hours and dont mind searching for the occasional companion weight. As far as military gyms go, its nice, but falls well short of what you would expect with two major commands and all of the bling that should come with it, maybe they spent too much buying 50 inch TVs to splurge...

Clean private

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

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

State of art facility. Great benefit for military on and near MacDill. Better than any gym Ive seen in civilian market.

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

Awesome facilty

This is one of the best Ive seen on a military installation. When its packed, its difficult to find an open machine or workout rack but thats usually the case anywhere. However, this place has everything, including an indoor play area for toddlers. So you can workout while your kids play.

Best Air Force gym ive 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.

Always professional staff! Very clean and easy to use.

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.

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.

Very open and they had free soccer balls

Awesome

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

Good solid fitness center. You cant 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

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.

Other than the line waiting for the squat racks, excellent use of floor space and after hours availability

The weights and exercise machines are awesome, the ab workout room upstairs a nice bonus, a large spin cycle room (I dont use), old racquetball courts and you can check out gear at the front desk, a smoothie bar next to the front desk. I love the dry sauna, but I wish there was a co-ed one as well as a wet sauna. I recently retired after 28yrs ofservice, and i cannot count the number of gyms Ive been to. MacDill is a large joint base, yet the gym hours are extremely limited, and that is unacceptable. I got a special pass to work out after hours, but the locker rooms are locked up (no shower, no sauna), and I cannot bring any guests. There is also no pool. The base has an outdoor pool, but its not near the gym and its only open in the summer when the sun will heat the water.

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.

Large gym with good well-maintained equipment and facilities. There are two outdoor running tracks and CrossFit equipment for use outdoors as well. Patrons are able to register their CACs for access outside of normal operating hours. There is also a smoothie bar on site, but I havent used the service.

The childrens area is one of the best Ive seen when it comes to base gyms (Ive been to one base whose gym had a childrens 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.

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 doesnt really matter.

Great facilities and a wide range of weights and cardio machines. Some classes with a pay by class option. The wellness center has great support options but fairly limited hours.

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

Decently big. Has everything you need. Does get crowded and everything is outdated and old... parking is hard to find during peak hours.

I go there to play racquet ball and its clean and awesome! Except they are using one of the courts for fitness which is messed up!

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

Best military commissary in Tampa.....

Great place to workout or play basketball. Theres also a really good smoothie shop and food.

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

Air force gets all the good stuff

It’s amazing. All I can say

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

Amazing gym. Terrible hours. Its as if the air force doesnt care about force readiness when the only gym on base closes at 2pm on weekends.

Nice and clean gym that offers a variety of different exercise equipment. It also has a basketball court, racquet ball courts, sauna, family area, and out door track.

Excellent facility but some more equipment in the family area would be nice... Specifically a squat machine or leg press machine. There seems to be a lot for upper body and cardio in the family area but nothing for legs.

Best benefit so far from a military retiree perspective!

Top notch equipment always well maintained. Super clean facility

Large gym, outdoor weights area for Crossfit/high intensity workouts, and basketball court. They also have a nice smoothie stand you can get supplements and even food (wraps, etc). They do not have a lap swim pool though.

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

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.

The treadmills are awful. A lot of people run indoors here for much of the year. All of the treadmills need to be replaced and then maintained meticulously. And Im not sure what happened with the air duct system. Some of the rooms are hot and humid while others are freezing.

Great facilities for visiting service members. Great basketball gym.

Great gym! Lots of equipment. It has sauna in the restrooms.

Good gym. Has pretty much everything you need.

Great place,24 hour access,plenty options of equipment.

One word: BIG! Really nice

Good amount of equipment. Kept clean. Smoothies are good, too.

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

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

State of the art equipment. Love the outdoor tracks.

Would be nice to have some speed bags available.Otherwise, really nice

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.

Could you maybe position the bench press units where you dont get blinded by the sun on every set

Great gym that needs an indoor pool for laps and WiFi because cell service is horrible on this base

Spacious and lots of equipment. They could use a second basketball court.

Extra large free weight room, family room with a bounce house, and an upstairs cardio area

Nice and clean, but this is the first DoD gym that Ive been to where you have to pay for classes.

Nice, but no TRX setup.

Always clean. Staff is very helpful.

Air Force gym is stocked with great equipment

Always clean equipment and a huge selection to choose from

The weekend hours are terrible. Would recommend 8 am-4 pm but 6 to 12 is ridiculous.

Great fitness facility for anyone with MacDill AFB access.

Everything a civilian gym has, and its pretty quiet too. Awesome.

I am ex military and I love the gym and on posts services

Nice variety of machines and weights to get then gains!!!!

Awesome, big enough to fit everybody with no delays

Good variety of equipment but housekeeping needs to step it up. Its always so dirty in this gym!!!

Well equipped for any type of work out

Great facility, lots of different equipment to use and space

CrossFit, bodybuilding, weekend warriors. Theres a place for everyone

Very clean.

It has everything youd want in a gym. Classes, kid room, equipment checkout, two different running tracks, truck tire.

I live here! The only downside is that it can be really busy and the guy that stares so hard I cannot comfortably workout.

Opens early at 430, great facility and huge

Great selection of equipment and kept clean

Great military gym

Emense amount of equipment. Multiple rooms. However it may be crowded at peak times.
