My job requires travel to multiple bases throughout the year. One of the bases we go to regularly is Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington. As a large joint base, it has lots of gyms. I found one during a trip up here about a year ago that doesn't look like much from the outside, but that is a wrong assessment.
Like most military fitness centers it has lots and lots of aerobic gear. But then it gets good. Adjacent to that is a free weight room as big as most I've ever seen on a base. Plus some of the other normal stuff-pool, stretching/yoga class area, but then the clincher: About a 1500 sguare foot crossfit/functional fitness/powerlifting area. I've worked out in this room at 0515 in the morning (yeah used to be motivated!) but never seen more than about 2-3 other folks in there. Well, hit it at about 1PM today, a Sunday, and it was packed! Awesome, as everyone was working hard, no hanging out.
Yeah, since I've reset my Stronglifts 5x5 yet again I was moving the least weight, but got the workout done and on my way. Hope to get back in there again this week at least once.
