Gammon Fitness Center — Local services in Muldraugh

While visiting this post on orders, I was in lodging next to this gym. It was a 6 minute walk away and quite convenient if you are staying in the Knierim apartments. It is a renovated gym with a large weight and cardio floor, a small upstairs area that boasts TRX suspension and various CrossFit equipment, an aquatic area and a sauna. Check in was easy (just show your military ID) and they sell drinks right there. There is no fee while you are on orders. I was informed that there were toning and cardio classes throughout the day that take place in the upstairs area.

If you are looking for a treadmill or bike, you should be fine. I went in at about 5:30 which should have been a busy time and there were free machines. Downstairs only has 2 rowers though so if they are both taken, head up stairs and there are 2 additional ones that I doubt many knew about. As for the weights, there were free-weight, 1 lifting platform, 2 smith machines, 2-3 bench press areas, and a couple of squat racks. At the time I went, it was impossible to jump on and use the barbell areas unless you wanted to bench. Since I didn't have a spotter, I didn't want to use those. There were many sanitation station where you could grab a wipe to clean your equipment after use too.

The upstairs area is where I plan on spending most of my time. You have 2 large floor mats and a bar for sit ups if needed, 2 20" soft box jump boxes, 2 peg boards, a TRX suspension rig and wall mounts, a variety of kettle bells and dumbbells, a small pull up rig, wall balls, a climbing rope, some sort of rope ladder, gymnastic rings, bosu balls, 2 rowers, weighted bats, slam balls, a GHD and a few other pieces that I was unfamiliar with. The floor upstairs is rubberized so no worries with dropping weights. The climbing rope is not a sisal rope and HORRIBLE! It's the slippery one so watch out if you choose to use it. As far as the pull up rig, it is not secured to the floor so anything kipping is out of the question. You do have the option for a fat bar grip and a standard grip on the rig though. There is also a stationary dip station attached to it.

Overall, it is a great place to visit if you do not want to make your way off post to the CrossFit gym in town. It's definitely much better than your typical Army gym but not everything I would like to fulfill my CrossFit love.

So entering the gym i overheard a conversation between a short hair blond German old worker and a civilian or retired guy? The other lady said that there wasnt any hot water and the guy asked politely if they had contacted dpw, or did a work order.. the younger lady was polite, while the older german lady, rudly interrupted the guy and told him there were 3 other gyms.. i was stunned, the younger employee was shocked, and the gym was instantly offended , and said there was no reason to be sarcastic.. is this ttpical of the costomer service of fort knox facilities? Maybe this German lady needs a new job away from humans.. i was appalled.. i was was actually waiting for it all to escalate, i was rather impressed the guy didnt come unglued.. only hear for TDY.. but this hag wouldn't last a week in our facilities..wtg FT. Knox..keep it classy...

Great gym...especially considering it's free! There is plenty of equipment and room to maneuver. One should not have an issue finding a piece of equipment to use to workout. From free weights to cardio to crossfit, this gym has a little of everything. The place compliments the staff...friendly, great atmosphere, and clean. Everyone appears to take pride in their job and helping out anyone who asks. The only downside (to no fault of the gym or the staff) is the amount of people between 0615 and 0745. Depending on the day, you may have to adjust your workout to deal with a...
