- This type of system is used at several other Garrisons and almost all other Fitness Centers across the country. It is to keep the workforce, Fitness Center participants, MWR staff, and our equipment safe. This process will also allow MWR to track Fitness Center usage more accurately and result in new and fun equipment!
- The setup of your account/CAC is mandatory for access to the Fitness Center during both manned and unmanned hours. The information on your registration form is kept under lock and key. The system does not pull any personal information from your CAC.
- This process has already begun, and we encourage you to setup your account as soon as possible. Typically, the Fitness Center Staff are in M-Th 7am to 430pm & Fri 7am to 3pm. These times are subject to availability and can change due to unforeseen circumstances, leave, and events.
