NCTAMS Fitness Center

I wanted to update my review since its been a while. I continue to come to this gym, aside from Ford Island/​Pearl Harbor, because 1) its free for me to do so, 2) they have all the basic equipment one could ask for, and 3) the mornings are usually dead. It is super convenient for me because I can drop my small fry off at the CDC and then hit the gym, shower if need be, and go on with the rest of my day. Lately, I have been coming 2x a day 3x a week because the gym has been slow, and more equipment has been added.
I am very impressed that they added a deadlift platform, and new chest pressing station. I feel this gym is complete for me and my fitness goals.
For some time now I have been back to boxing training/​sparring and although I miss my double end bag (wish I could bring it in to use) I do find the equipment to be pretty good for the size of the gym. The heavy bag is just the right weight and height for us who are training and not just messing around trying to look «cool».
I love the racquetball courts because the staff lets us train in there and we can bring in some tunes and no one bothers us.
The gym is my sanctuary, its my therapy sessions, my anti-​depressant.
Oh, another plus: they have a sauna. However, the staff is pretty anal about keeping the light on – so I wonder at times what has occurred in the gym when no one is looking – yes people are scandalous at the gym too (ahem* gyms are hook up spots).
Overall, I keep coming back because it suits me./fitness needs, and I love the peacocks – they sound like cats dying.

Awesome little gym, doesn’t have everything a guy could want but it has the essentials and since there is rarely a crowd that makes it awesome in my book.
Hours can be a little weird too but I deal
Pro tip: if fed fire is there, better to go run on the track for a while. Love those guys and what they do but there are so many of them that it can be rough getting a machine you need

I used to work at this gym for the first 8 years when it was built. I think its the perfect gym to workout at.

pretty ok gym but for what it is, like the military, its efficient and serves its purpose. Full size indoor Bball court and they usually have 4 additional hoops down on the sides so people can shoot hoops on there own. Haven’t yet seen people play full court so usually plenty of room to work on the jumper. There are two racquetball courts, along with smallish weight room, cardio room. towels available and recently engaged new guest policy, no guests m-​f but weekends 2 guests allowed per DoD iD card

It’s a small gym and limited equipment, but then again its what you do to get the best efficient workout. When you walk in the basketball court usually has a couple guys playing a game or a volleyball team is running practice. In the actual lifting room is small so sometimes it gets packed. In the room over is an aerobic room where group classes are held (i thunk Monday’s and Thursday’s, check the schedule if you want to join) or to do some workouts requring extra arm and leg space. In the bathroom it includes a shower, lockers and a small sauna. Only complaint is that its small, but overall it’s a good place to workout.
Kids are not allowed in the weight room (15 and younger), but sometimes when it’s not busy or it’s empty I’ll see one with their parent/​older sibling using the bikes/​elliptical then leave to go to the aerobic room.
