Aberdeen Athletic Center

Experiencia positiva: The gym is a great amenity and I’m grateful it’s available. The biggest downside is the rule that civilians can’t use it between 6:00 and 8:00 a.m. If you work a standard 9 to 5/6 schedule, that really limits options and leaves you choosing between working out very early or late in the evening. From what I’ve seen, the gym doesn’t seem especially busy during those morning hours. I’m a former Soldier, so I understand why the rule exists, but it feels stricter than necessary given the actual usage. Even adjusting the restriction to 6:00 to 7:30 a.m. would make a meaningful difference for a lot of working people and make the gym more accessible overall.

Experiencia fantástica: where it all started

Experiencia fantástica: Completed for workout

Experiencia positiva: Good gym, very spacious. Sign up for access during business hours.

Experiencia fantástica: I really like this gym it has a huge variety of things you can do my only problem with this place is it's always a lot of people here.

Experiencia positiva: The sauna was amazing! I sure do hope that the people in charge of the budgets and fitness programs keep the sauna up and runming. I do have concerns about water quality, I sure hope that its all well managed and taken care of. Alot of trust and faith is put into the leaders of the armed forces and this nation. No photos to share, but this place is legit. Dry sauna gets hot!

Experiencia fantástica: Great food!

Experiencia fantástica: 24 hour access and always clean. Love it

Experiencia fantástica: Nice variety of equipment

Experiencia fantástica: The gym has all the equipment you could need. Staff is friendly. Not to busy most of the day. Be aware 6am to 8 am weekdays is military in uniform only.

Experiencia negativa: very disappointed at lack of staff when i needed to inquire at a time that worked for my schedule

Experiencia positiva: Good place to work out.

Experiencia negativa: It's okay but no where to play basketball or volleyball

Experiencia positiva: Great staff, friendly and clean facilities.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym in town

Experiencia fantástica: Everything you need, no excuse

Experiencia negativa: Don’t you dare drop the bumper plate weighs on the 5” thick rubber platform made to absorb the dripping my of plates…

Experiencia fantástica: Nice gym. Crowded at times, but it gets the job done.

Experiencia fantástica: Great equipment and free weights. Rarely crowded, friendly staff.

Experiencia fantástica: The 24 hr access had me sold just cant come during PT hour 5am -8am.

Experiencia positiva: I really enjoy working out at this gym when I am in the area. Glad I caught so.eone to check me in before they left for the day so I could have access while I was there. They have a lot of great equipment and seem to be adding. Hoping they update their quad extension machine before I return next time.

Experiencia positiva: For starters, it's FREE.....you can't really be picky when what you're getting is free and you are not paying a dime for it... (I guess it comes out of our tax dollars).... The staff is friendly and the athletic center has newer equipment and is layed out better than when it was under the MTF.... Only thing that isn't great is the morning hours, from 6am to 8am is reserved for active duty. And the Saunas have not bee. Operational.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this gym, but really wish they’d fix the sauna. Months waiting on repair, spring 2023.

Experiencia fantástica: It's clean and the equipment is well taken care of.

Experiencia negativa: They dont let veterans or contractors put in work here which doesnt make a lick of sense.

Experiencia negativa: This place is good l guess if your active duty. But as a retiree this place stinks. They have horrible hours. They are rarely open and the staff is equally worthless. The base commander is clearly indifferent to allow such discriminatory policies.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym! 24/7 for any CAC holder. The weights will be heavy enough to meet your goals. Dumbbells go beyond 130lbs and they have a whole CrossFit and cardio section with over 10 squat racks and rower machines.

Experiencia fantástica: Probably the best military installation athletic center I've been too.

Experiencia fantástica: It has been about three years since I was last here, and since the rollout of the ACFT they have significantly expanded their equipment, though, at the cost of the basketball court. The gym now has ample squat racks, dumbells, kettlebells, pull up bars, and other functional fitness equipment. Serious improvement from my perspective.

Experiencia fantástica: Everything is clean and always organized. Since nothing is perfect and we should find ways to always improve, I'd like to suggest an improvement in the hours of availability. I've learned we all have to dance around these hours because they just don't match the majorities schedule.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent equipment, friendly staff

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome, Gym!

Experiencia positiva: Overall gym has various types of exercise equipment to use

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym, fully stocked!

Experiencia fantástica: There's a lot of top of the line equipment at this gym. Hopefully they will become 24hrs in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome, Gym!

Experiencia positiva: Currently being remodeled

Experiencia positiva: Please open Hoyle gym and expand hours.

Experiencia positiva: Small gym but gets the job done

Experiencia positiva: The gym exists only because of the soldiers. If it weren't for the them, the gym would be closed and forever gone.

Experiencia negativa: Ever since they put the "ACFT Training Equipment" in their rules have changed a ridiculous amount. And the rules are not posted so you don't even know if you're breaking any until one of the staff members tell you. Definitely not my favorite gym anymore.

Experiencia positiva: A little cramped, but at the right time, there are lots of options. Would like to see the new functional fitness equipment installed for ACFT prep.

Experiencia positiva: Pretty nice facility. They charge now for classes. The free classes that I took didn't start on time, so I will assume that doesn't happen anymore. The front desk staff are super friendly. I'm shocked that there isn't a decent lap pool on post. There is enough land by the athletic center for that!

Experiencia positiva: This gym has come a long way since I been going and it's getting better. Loving the new setup and all the extra equipment they finally purchase. Will be using this gym format while.

Experiencia fantástica: Okay soo this place is definitely for adults only and if you have a military or military spouse ID card. Other than that if you want to bring a friend. The main card holder will have to be present the entire time they are there. Older kids like teens will have to have a card too. But there's really nothing to do other than exercise or play basketball. I would recommend NOT bringing little kids. They do not have a babysitter area. Equipment of all types: ellipticals, treadmills, walking ladding, weigh machines, leg presses, punching bags, and many more. They have a couple inside courts on the side. It has its own set of lockers for each sex (male or female). Saunas are inside the locker rooms along with showers and restrooms. Lockers are provided, but bring your own lock to keep your stuff safe. There is a drink vending machine or the water fountain. Or just bring your own drink. If you bring your own music device have headphones or earplugs to keep it to yourself. You must check in at the front of the building with the receptionist or main on duty upon entry.

Experiencia fantástica: On post gym. You'll need post access but it's well equipped and offers 24/7

Experiencia fantástica: Great people, clean facility.

Experiencia fantástica: Good gym and nice they opened it for 24 hrs.

Experiencia fantástica: My home court advantage.

Experiencia positiva: Great equipment and staff, lousy layout.

Experiencia negativa: Do people work out in Aberdeen?

Experiencia negativa: Small unimpressive and the jokers that work out here don't know gym etiquette especially the couple that like to do their couple workouts and take up multiple machines and take forever while chatting.

Experiencia fantástica: Good !

Experiencia fantástica: I'm at the gym every week. It's never crowded and it has everything you need to get in shape.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent facility.. great staff!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome place to get a good workout

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym

Experiencia fantástica: Great facilities, clean, well lit, great choice of machines.

Experiencia positiva: Standard MWR gym, no complaints

Experiencia positiva: Great Gym on base. I just wish they didn't discontinue their towel program.

Experiencia positiva: The gym has all the basics. Weight room is often crowded.

Experiencia positiva: Good equipment, no attention to details unless it's pointed out. Lazy manager and some employees take that as lead for their own behavior.

Experiencia fantástica: good selection of weights, cardio, and machines. indoor court. not too busy.

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice no complaints

Experiencia positiva: On post gym that is accessible and not pretentious.

Experiencia positiva: While tdy its a decent gym. only one squat rack so plan ahead there. Lots of cardio available.

Experiencia positiva: A small gym but has everything you need to get a full workout. Two racket ball courts and a full size indoor basketball court.

Experiencia positiva: Typical Army fitness center, nothing great but nothing bad either. Weight room can get a bit cramped, I only went in the AM I can only imagine the afternoon must have been very cramped.
