Baker Field House — Local services in Alaska

I Go to the gym 6 days a week and have been here for three years. The weights are everywhere and in no order anywhere but the CrossFit area/ Extremely common to find a 25 pound plate behind a 100 pounder. If you wanna use field it's a 50/50 shot it's occupied by a whole team. For some reason there is only one leg extension machine and like 7 calf raise machines no one uses so you're battling for the one leg extension. All the benches are ripped to shreds in the dumbbell room. Holes in the floor by All the deadlifting pads under the mats. Good luck getting any sort of workout in during red flag when there are 800 marines on top of all the regular gym goers. Few decent barbells. If there isn't only one variation of machine there are two of totally different brands one significantly worse than the other. Will often catch yourself walking between areas hoping a machine bench or rack is available. Which takes quite some time because most things are very spread out. God forbid one of the two machines that work a muscle group break because it will take an actual year for it to get fixed. I mean the base itself if just a bummer everything closes so early and this is just the cherry on top. Definitely the Most underwhelming gym I have been to compared to...

This gym is nice (and the staff is always helpful). It has different weight rooms and enough equipment to complete a good workout (different types of workouts for that matter). The locker room is not bad at all. The gym is usually busier during lunch time, but that's pretty standard for a base. The only thing that is annoying is the pool schedule. I have never seen it open and everyone jokes about it being just there for show. However, lately I have seen Facebook posts from the FSS announcing the pool schedule. Hopefully it will continue to open. It is nice to have a pool on base but nicer if we are able...

Baker Field House! The Holy Mecca to hustle & grind. I love everything about this gym. I’ve always been used to working out in smaller gyms, and compared to those—this has them beat. The turf field is what really got me excited. Even when it’s in the negatives during winter we can normalize athletic sports. However, Covid-19 came through like a wrecking ball and crushed all of that. Looking through the tunnel and seeing the light when this blows over, this gym will be back on top....
