PURDY and FLEET REC GYMS


There are 2 main gyms on base. One is the Fleet Rec, which is by the piers and a great place to work out before work, during lunch, or after work.

The newest gym on base is Purdy Gym, which is by the Post Office. This is the one I go to. It has a large swimming pool, Cardio Room (bikes, stair masters, treadmills, etc.), raquetball courts, and a couple of different weight rooms. There are yoga and aerobics classes, and you can get massages, too, for a fee.

Upstairs is a large gymnasium.

They no longer ask that you swipe your ID card, so TDY spouses are fine. There is one room with padding for the kids, and toys with a bike, treadmill, and stair? machine. It's great, because you can work out and watch your young kid at the same time.

You can check out equipment (with ID), workout clothes, locker locks and towels.

The place gets busy around the time PT evaluations are going on in the military.

I am impressed with this new gym. I have never been to the Fleet Rec one, my husband sometimes works out there, since it is so convenient to work (you don't have to try and re-park your car, you're already there).

You can also hire personal trainers here.
