52D FSS Fitness Center

To be fair, the equipment is plentiful and the gym itself is spacious. However, there might as well not even be an indoor track, as the constant PT testing closes it for essentially the entire morning, five days a week, sometimes even on days that technically meet the outdoor weather requirements. In fact, just today, seven runners (a large portion of which were active duty military, incidentally) were kicked off the track to PT test six people...even though the weather was 37 degrees, aka well above the indoor limit. This was a Thursday in October...meeting neither the random “we always indoors test on Wednesday” rule nor the “once November hits, all tests, regardless of the weather regulations, are indoors” directive. I am honestly SUPER confused as to why these PT tests happen five days a week. This is the smallest base I have EVER been to, with all other bases I’ve been stationed at running PT tests just twice a week, which works just fine with significantly more people stationed there. This “schedule” just seems lazy, poorly planned and completely inflexible for literally anyone who needs to, due to the demands of their schedule, work out in the morning. And, sorry, not sorry, but running on the treadmill is for sure not the same. Additionally, the gym here is FILTHY. Specifically, the floors are genuinely disgusting.
