From the reviews
This fitness center is a great place to exercise, but the only difficulty is getting base access. You must be military affiliated (active duty, DoD civilian, contract employee, or dependent) to get on base to use the facility. Its equipment is comparable to outside gyms although its lockers are smaller on average.
Overall fantastic facility. The first floor of the gym has a rock climbing wall, basketball court, racquetball courts, room full of ellipticals & treadmills, very nice locker rooms (with saunas!), a wide open "crossfit" room with dozens of bars and plates, and a spin room.
I enjoyed my time there. Only critique is that there seems to be many lifting platforms throughout, which is awesome…BUT…they all are completely filled with rubber tiles and, as such, are only catered to deadlifting instead of having wood sheet in the middle and rubber on the sides which could also support Olympic…
High quality facility and the price is right for those who are eligible (free). They have an awesome functional fitness area and the Hanscom Warrior training center offers free (CrossFit like) classes with an awesome community. Free wifi recently improved to extend access through out the facility.
