Fitness & Sports
Welcome to the Eglin Fitness Center! We gladly offer services to Eglin’s active duty, tech training, retired military, DoD civilian personnel, base contractors, and family members.
The main base Fitness and Sports Center is located near Eglin’s East Gate, just around the corner from the Chapel. The 45,000 square foot center serves an average of 1,000 valued customers each day. It has racquetball courts, basketball court, volleyball court, men’s and women’s saunas and exercise rooms, cardio and weight rooms, stretch room, and spin room. Outdoors, there are softball fields and a football field, as well as a soccer area. In addition, there are lighted tennis courts located just outside the Center, as well as across the boulevard next to the Eglin Thrift Shop/Auto Hobby Shop. A detailed listing of all fitness rooms, equipment, and services is found in the Fitness Center brochure.
Best in AFMC
Frequently named “Best in AFMC,” the Fitness Center operates the largest intramural sports program in AFMC and one of the largest in the USAF, encompassing seven different intramural sports. Special events are frequently held at the center, including Bench Press and Weight Lifting Competitions, racquetball competitions, tennis competitions, dodge ball competitions and Fitness Appreciation Days. The Annual Gate-to-Gate Run, Zombie Run, Team Fitness Challenge and regular fun runs are also hosted by the Fitness Center. During the week, a diverse schedule of fun group fitness classes offers a wide range of physical intensities and a variety of focuses, from strength training to fat burning to heart health and more. Co-ed classes are taught at the main Fitness Center, and at the Physical Training Facility at Bldg 720, near the East Gate Shoppette.
Intramural Sports
Intramural sports include flag football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, softball and golf. Varsity sports include basketball, soccer and volleyball. Maps are available for a variety of running trails on base as well as information on running, cycle and bench press incentive programs.
Eglin Fitness Field House
Eglin’s Fitness Program is not limited just to the main center. The Fitness Field House—located on the opposite side of Eglin Blvd, just past the East Gate Shoppette—offers a place for weight lifting and TRX between the hours of 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM every weekday.
Fitness Assessment Cell
On the west side of base, the Fitness Assessment Cell (FAC) at Oak Hill, across from Unity Park, is where Active Duty Airmen perform their bi-annual PT tests. And down Nomad Way to the home of Eglin’s 33rd Fighter Wing, you’ll find The Lightning Fitness Center, where 24-hour access is available.
