Martinez Physical Fitness Center

The hours here are awful and change without any notice. It’s always crowded, and that turns an hour long workout session into a two hour one due to waiting for machines/​weights. I’ll be paying out of pocket to go to an off base gym.

I love the gym here. There are so many different rooms that are available with many different choices for exercise equipment. Some rooms are air conditioned and others aren’t. There’s equipment for beginners to the pros. I love that the showers are always clean and the sauna is not co-​ed. This is the go to gym on Schofield.

I love this gym. People think it’s dirty, it’s crowded, and not enough machines, but it has more than everything you need. There’s 2 squat racks, 3 power racks, and a cross fit set up in the outdoor area with 2 more places to set up a squat rack, tires, foam rollers, trx machine (I think that’s what it called), a lot of hammer strength equipment, an air conditioned room for nautilus machines, free benches to put in a power rack and make a bench set up if the 5 flat benches, 2 inclines, 2 declines are taken, 4 platforms for deadlifts, clean and jerks, and snatches, dumbbells, kettle bells, 2 cardio rooms, saunas, racquet ball courts. If you’re complaining about always waiting for the machine just ask someone if you can jump in with them. Always friendly people there and easy to find someone to spot you during any exercise.

a decent gym, some times highly crowded. try avoiding it in the morning, it is crazy busy. i prefer lunch time, not kinda on a full retard mode.

Not a terrible gym but it’s typically always packed in the weight room. You almost always have to wait to use any weights and the set up is poor. It has nice new racquet ball courts and offers lots of crossfit items. I prefer the Health and Fitness Center. The atmosphere is different and it’s never as crowded. Both have saunas in the locker rooms and both offer a variety of workout classes.

Not to bad at all. It has pretty much everything you need if you are interested in Crossfit, T Rex, Weights, cardio, pretty much all the basics.

The main gym on post so its busy in the mornings and the evening. Parking at those times are bad so you have to find alternate parking and walk to it. There are lots of equipment her so you can definetly get a great work out. Don’t forget a lock when come to use the lockers. Showers are not to bad, always have hot water. Overall not bad.

One of two gyms here in side Schofield Barracks. They need to put more fitness facilities inside this post.
They have 2 cardio rooms one of which has an ac unit in. The room with an air conditioner is quite tiny. It has maybe 10 machines in their which include an elipical, treadmill and a stationary bike. All the machines are bunched up together so you can almost smell the person next to you. The other room without the unit is bigger and has more varieties for someone who loves their cardio machines. Although there isnt a/​c in that room, it does get a nice Hawaiian breeze. Both cardio rooms have flat screen tvs. Considering it is a military gym, I am surprised that they have little tv screens on the treadmills. Not all of them do but most of them have. I haven’t been to this gym for a few months so they may have updated a lot of the equipment. I am just writing about what I have seen when I last went there which was around summer of 2013.
Like any other gym there is a weight room. Its a big sized room however I’ve only been in there a few times. It is surrounded by a bunch of soldiers who make it so uncomforatable for me to use any of the weights. They have almost everything you need if you are wanting to bulk up.
Another cool thing is this place many other smaller rooms. Ive seen them turn one into a crossfit room. Also they have others for yoga and raquetball.
The bathroom/​spa/​dressing room is kept up. I haven’t been inside the showers so I can’t say whether or not it is clean. I am pretty sure they do a good job sanitizing. I have been to the spa and it does get really nice and hot. I normally stay for a good 10 – 15 minutes after a good work out.
Last but not least this place has outstanding customer service. Everyone who works here greets you with a nice warm smile. That is always a plus in my book.

Went to this gym this past weekend for the first time after I PCSed and I’m not impressed. None of the weights were put back where they belong. It was like going on a hunt to find the right weight for the work out. They do provide towels for you to wipe down the equipment, which is great. It would be great though if people used them. The hours are great for the weekends, when 8^th TSC gym doesn’t open till 12. Also, the staff is courteous. The cardio rooms looked nice for those that use them.

The Good — Dedicated Crossfit rooms and equipment, plenty of weights.
The Bad — Most of the equipment is old and could use replacement. You end up covered in rust after changing plates on machines. Also, it’s the only gym on post right now, so it can get crowded.

This is a decent gym. Its always clean, no frills. There ARE lots of options for training from traditional weights to ropes, nautalis machines, bands, balls, full gym for bbal or volleyball. There are classes but I rarely see them.
The only two things I wish they would correct are: 1. There is no standing calf machine and 2. there is no option for mom w kids. I think that they should convert one of the racquetball courts into a ½ play ½ workout area. I have seen this at other facilities and its very helpful. Hence the 4 stars.
I do not recommeded coming prior to 9am on weekdays as it is crowded. Weekends are good anytime.
And for the duh factor, in case you didnt know, this gym is free and open to both dependants and active duty. Its also open most all holidays with limited hours (0800 – 1600).

If you want a relaxing post workout in the sauna room, the morning is the worst time to go since those trying to dodge PT also known as shammers pretend to get a workout. Goes to show how little accountability goes on in the military these days.

This gym is ok compared to the mainland. Don’t get me wrong I see people taking full advantage of the facilities and that fires me up. I just wish the cross fit area wasn’t a retrofitted racket ball court hahah. Actually, they have an open air lifting area with rowers and pull up bars which is awesome. The basket ball court is clean and used regularly. Most of the cardio equipment is in two small rooms on the side as there is another building dedicated to just cardio classes! Personally, I would just run outside and use the gym to lift weights.

Great gym with lots and lots of workout options. Crossfit, ample cardio machines, huge basketball court, and lots and lots of weightlifting machines as well as free weights.
LOTS of classes. Unfortunately they seem to be geared more towards dependents than active duty service members based on the class timing. I wish the gym at TAMC was as robust as this place.

I absolutely love this gym. They have everything you need, and the only thing you need to get in is a military I.D.
The people and workers here are very friendly and mind their own business while working out, unlike in some places where the fellow people working out may tend to get nosy.
Some rooms are air conditioned, and a lot of the machines (ellipticals, stair masters, bikes and treadmills) have TV’s attached to them, but I prefer to listen to my iPod.
The equipment is very clean and the gym is very well kept. In every room you’ll see a tub with cloths/​paper towels with a spray for you to clean off the equipment when you’re done, so that helps to keep it clean.
The bathrooms are very well kept, and they even have a sauna. Lockers are available for rent, and free lockers for the day are available as well.
There is so much to do here, and they even offer classes. Just go to the website to check out a schedule.
I recommend trying this gym out, they will have you coming back more and more, which is a good thing! It’s not your fancy 24 hour fitness, but it’s just as good!
