I am currently on TDY at JB McGuire from my home unit in California. On the first or second day, my…read morecolleague (MSgt) and I registered for access to the fitness center. My colleague received a separate access keycard for building entry, while I was issued access via my CAC only. Subsequent attempts to enter the facility using my CAC were unsuccessful -- the CAC did not grant building access despite front-desk scans confirming registration and authorization. This occurred multiple times after normal duty hours when no staff were present to assist. To continue using the facility, I entered with my colleague (tailgating through the door), which I now understand violates policy, though it was due to the unresolved access issue and lack of on-site support. Having come from a National Guard base, we are unfamiliar with Active Duty rules and policies. On 12 March 2025 (approximately 1500-1530 hours), we visited during staffed hours. After entering (again with assistance from my colleague), I explained the ongoing CAC access problem to the staff member at the front desk (description: wearing PT uniform, glasses, tattoos on arms, short hair or bald). The staff member was immediately confrontational regarding the tailgating policy (which is understandable). However, when I described the CAC failure and multiple prior attempts to resolve it, the response was unprofessional: dismissive, rude, undermining, and included a threat to ban both myself and my colleague. Only after repeated explanations did the staff member acknowledge known CAC access issues for some users and offer a separate keycard -- an option that could have been provided proactively during registration or handled with basic courtesy. I fully support enforcement of access policies and recognize that tailgating was not compliant. However, the initial registration oversight (or system limitation) created the situation, and the interaction could have been resolved professionally without hostility, especially when talking to my colleague, who is a SNCO. Customer service is a core expectation in Force Support Squadron operations, particularly for TDY personnel unfamiliar with local procedures.

This is a good gym. Currently it is 24/7 operations which means you have to get your ID scan to…read moremake sure you can enter. It is the only way. There is a good amount of equipment and it is busy around the usual busy times.

A meat head gym- no doubt! This place is typically not staffed except for when a new member needs…read moreto sign up and makes arrangements ahead of time by calling or e-mailing now. You can even get a 1 day pass online and not have to make actual contact nor is it expected probably. For the monthly pass, with no enrollment fees, mind you, you would need to make an appointment the first time around. If you can make it at least 5 times to the gym within the month, then it is worth getting the 24-7 access by the month. Most gyms wanted to charge me an enrollment fee for a partial one month period, and it was just not worth it to do that for me. Most gyms don't have 24-7 access and those that do will tack on this enrollment fee. I was planning to work out manually but then I had thought of this gym and tried asking and glad I did! There are showering facilities which I wouldn't have expected, but it's super nice to know that I don't have to leave sweaty and head straight back home if I don't want to. Definitely a potential incentive to keep working out and makes it feel less like a stressful event. One of the showers doesn't even work currently, but there are two others that do. The toilet paper rolls look worn out and it feels like if they were fixed, some musclehead might accidentally break it again by pulling too hard on it. Another one, during one time I was there, the water was accidentally left on and I turned it off, I could see how one might be in a hurry and not have closed the faucet all the way. You just try to do the right thing with minor things like that. Most clients probably would prefer to drive home and use their own comfortable shower rather than the one provided here. There are also a few bottles of wipes provided, but I was probably the only one who would use them or maybe they would only be used by others if sweat got on the equipment. There's a whole array of apparel from online that can be shipped directly to you and pictures of history and pride of the gym and the owner's past interests and successes. I can't fully appreciate the equipment that is here nor understand how to use much of it. I tried to look what equipment was what and how to use it when I could and sometimes I just did things by looking and feeling them out enough but making sure I could handle the weights and such if things didn't quite go as I expected. The only thing I wish this gym and most gyms could have is an optional local community event to get together and just chit chat once in awhile, maybe like every month or 2 or 3 months. I have run into a few that do this or did this once in a rare occasion to try it out, but it is a way to try to build community so that I'm not just showing up and leaving. Gyms that have classes, as I can't make those regularly, I'm not able to socialize that way. So, the classes have become not a big deal to me. The personal trainers I've tried at other gyms is hit or miss, more miss The trainers I tend to like to work with the least are the ones that have been hired through a mainstream gym because many of these people only want to work with certain clientele and they may do things like not show up to their appointment or put someone else in place when that is not the standard practice at most gyms (and this probably should be the standard practice at most mainstream gyms.) They are trying to go for the "relational" connection building, but most gyms are way too transient for this on both the client and staff sides to be effective. A few reviews have said that one can just ask others for help. While I probably could've, I did feel like as a non-jock, I would be intruding on someone else's workout and if I asked them something, what could I offer them back that they would want? Sometimes, a "thank you" might be enough, but I guess living in this world and how it's changed and socially, not for the better, I feel uncomfortable without more context. Even something as simple as I recognize that brand name on your shirt or something "generic" but thoughtful like that could be enough. I think there are people who are probably really nice, but some that would be super annoyed. You don't always know 100% but you just get that vibe. Even things more in my space and YelpE, and even in things where I definitely level off enough with others, I have not built the tight friendships one might expect. A few people did say "hi" when I was least expecting it, and one person ended up going into the gym even thanking me for "letting him in", but I wasn't actually letting him in and I didn't want to create an unnecessary conflict. I also just wanted to leave the gym at that time too. It was safe to assume he had a valid pass and just wasn't finding his pass or working the system right. This slew of gym types is typically less advertised I believe as a Baltimore friend thought this type of gym didn't exist near him.

I stopped in a couple weeks ago to check out the gym. The owner Steve was such a nice guy. The gym…read morewas absolutely spotless and it smelled so clean in there. Tons of equipment for lifting and strength training. He also had some cardio machines in the front. I ended up doing a home gym plan because I didn't want to make the drive but if it was a little closer it would be perfect. I just wanted to take the time to write this review because it really is a great gym run by a really great business owner

I am still waiting on an ab bench that can decline very far as well as more of those original benches that we all fight over. Additionally, please I am begging you fix the right cable on the double cable machine over by the big cable section next to the decline chest bench. It's nearly impossible to readjust and has been broken for well over six months now. Otherwise I still love this gym so much!!

I cannot relax at the gym listening to this the entire time there. I thought this was a family gym; the music doesn't match. How about variety - oldies, gospel, quieter music, etc. Many people have their ears plugged up; I don't. It is so loud in the women's locker room. There are two TVs in the locker room that are never on. How about turning down the music or turning it off totally & turn on the TVs. If what's coming out of the speakers doesn't change, I will write more reviews & then eventually switch gyms. People may not speak up about the music & just cancel their membership. Please consider changing the music to satisfy all your members not just some.
