Reviews of Buckner Fitness Center (Gym)

Chelsea Ramirez

Nice remodel. Been quite a few years since I visited!

RC BoiZ

Love the friendly staff and the fact that they are kid friendly

Stephen Wood

This gym is huge. If you have ever been to Smith gym at Benning. Buckner gym puts it to shame. There is a massive crossfit side, 2 pools, stand up tanning beds, awesome free weight section and indoor track.

Yobachi Reynolds

Big gym a lot of equipment to work with and even a pool

LifeThroughLotus

Cool gym it's 24/7. Has a pool. Indoor track. 3 basketball courts. Resistance machine room. And weight room. Nice and big gym plenty of tools and machines.

Matthew Bigman

Likely the best gym on JBER with a variety of workout options. Free weights, pool, assisted weights, rock wall, this place has it all.

Holly Giampaolo

Polar paradise is great! Kids need to have passed a swim test for larger pool area, so plan ahead

Alejandro Solis

Gym has everything

Best gym in all alaska

Since the remodel this gym is awesome. Bigger rooms and lots of space. It can get really crowded but if you go when it's not you have alot of chioces. I don't like the pool, I won't pay the price to take my kids which I have to watch myself cause you have to be 5 feet from them at all times

Farid Sanouvong

A really lively and vivid facility to train in. Lots of motivation and I can get a natural pump from this place!

Racquel Burrell

Great

AAron OOman

Great staff; friendly, knowledgeable n eager to help. Pool, wet n dry saunas, hot tub, b-ball courts, in-door track, stationary n free weights in abundance, stationary bikes, spacious, clean, assorted classes n training guidance, and more. Some of the best people i've known or recently met use or work this facility.

Fabiana Kirtley

It’s a fully equipped gym with a great number of machines and weights, two basketball courts, a pool, a rock climbing wall, a spinning room, 2 sets of lockers for both females and males (sauna and steam rooms are located in the main locker rooms), and a more secluded weight machine room. It’s a great resource to have! Recently it allows people whom have signed up for it to have a 24 hours access too!

Kelsey Foster

WiFi gets pretty overloaded at any time really but it just became 24 hours. Lots of power racks and a fair bit of machines. Definitely no need for any other places in you're stationed at JBER. Pool too!

Kyle Bringhurst

Great place! Spacious and updated.

Misieli Taufaeteau

Really nice facility to work out or play bball in

Gabriel Gaxiola

It is for Active Military and family.

Joshua Gholston

Great facility

Sirach Israel

Can't beat there Variety of equipment and Activities nowhere in Anchorage

Brian

Great gym, tons of squat racks.

Mac Surin

Little crowded and loud But if you want to work out then it is worth it the noise Wish the steam room is opens early

Eric Thorstad

Indoor room track

Topher Maguire

What can I say that you don’t already know, right? Great gym, even greater customer service. I love the 24 hour access, swimming schedule and pool availability. The huge selection of cardio and strength equipment is really nice making it so you don’t have to wait in line to get a workout in. I recently found out that there’s even tanning. I am gonna have to give that a try.

Dow Jopp

Great kids swimming pool. Warm water and warm enclosure!

Trevor Soderholm

Hard to imagine not finding what you need here. They play good music (mostly hard rock) and the staff are pretty friendly.

Wesley Gladman

Excellent. Just wish it had some ropes to climb.

Jacob G

Better for strength training than the elmendorf gym

Kristopher Souza

This gym was always good, but it recently ascended to legendary status w/ the introduction of 24/7 access.

Matt chu

I hope these guys spray down the sauna at the end of the day or I'd say this could be contagious and disgusting.

Calvin Haywood Jr

Best gym ever. If you're a service member, family member of service member, or prior service you should be going here daily. Great for families too

Not a bad gym they are doing a much needed expansion, during peak hours you can't find one cardio or weight machine to get on. That's how packed this place can get. Also don't get intimidated most people in here are super buff and ripped.

Nyssa Jones

This gym has everything! All the equipment is in good condition and good operating order. From basketball courts to a fitness pool, a family pool, CrossFit equipment, day rentals, all the cardio equipment you can think of, an indoor walking/running track and more. The facility is clean, the staff is friendly and helpful. The only downside, as of Nov 2018, the main locker rooms have been under construction more than they haven't been so the pool locker room becomes the default. But when they were open in the spring/summer, they were new and everything you could ask for.

Shanon Sheets

Nice and clean, a great place for a workout.

Cemile Blue

I love this place, they have State of the art gym and anything else you need to get you fit on. Jacobs lader is one of my fav. You do need a military ID to get on base or gym or have a friend take you in who dies have a id.

Detrick Whitten

Good place to get your workout on.

Nelson Montalvo

Awesomeness. Best Gym ever

Robert Juckett

Good gym with good equipment. Avoid if possible during pt hours and around 16-1700 as these are the busiest times. Pretty much dead over lunch.

Vincent Walker

One of the best gyms I have ever seen. Besides a plethora of every cardio and lifting apparatus known to man, it also boasts an indoor track, an entire basketball court for the crossfitters and a freaking rock climbing gym. And sun tanning rooms. And the aquatic center is more like a water park with a lap pool. Only reason I don't go here more often is I'm stationed on the elmendorf side

Christopher McDonald

Great place to work out

Brandon Warren

Best gym on base

Kirby Kinsch

Best military gym I have ever seen.

derek murphy

CallMeJamie

Melissa Eury

Love the new workout facility!

Java Bean

Great place for a workout to rock climbing and a fun pool plus the hot tub.

Katherine Lewis

One of the better base gyms I've been to in my 8 years. Plenty of equipment, good space for CrossFit, lots of machines upstairs with an indoor track. And the pool has a hottub

Claudia Leon

Love zumba class ☺

Jini Song

Can be better if the hour can be extended on weekends

Cale Anderson

Waaaaay too many meatheads, nice facilities now that they redid it though.

Spencer Robinson

Great gym. Has everything you need and more. The swim coach, personal trainers and staff are amassing.

Quenton Williams

Good place to work out

SarahBeth Echols

Nice fun family pool. Indoors. Cheap.

Jacob Roeser

Might be the biggest gym in the state.

Matt McGee

Good gym, much needed expansion. Gets super packed over the winter months

Colby Blair

Fenominal place to workout. It gets really busy, and it's a little spread out but it has all the equipment you need.

Jade Morle

Our battalion (HHC) is almost always here every morning for PT. It's always clean and the equipment is well taken care of considering how many people use them every day. The staff are professional 24/7, very outgoing, and friendly. What more could you ask for?

Daniel Fleischman

Excellent gym with a variety of options.

joe benjamin

Its never too packed to keep up with your workout program

Katie Corral

Great gym! Lots of different options here for different workouts. They have a nice water area for children. Always really clean thought out the facility.

NANA AGYEMAN

Awesome fitness center

Josh Q

Good place to lift heavy objects.

Lucario

Send it

Jose Diaz

Get your swole on

Robert Rumohr

Great gym! It is a bit of a maze, but just ask for a tour or wander around, there's a ton to do here!

Shannon Roohr

Awesome facility! I love their tanning packages.

Ronald Roe

Pretty good gym. Lots of varying equipment. Gets very crowded, so it can be hard to get at certain equipment during peak hours.

Evelyn Posala

Well it's a gym lol. The set up is weird with the equipments in separate rooms. There's a track upstairs along with other cardio equipments. There's also the pool downstairs.

Andre Alexander

Love working out here

Susan williams

Great place !

Quintin Brand

The best gym. I really miss the towels they used to hand out before joint basing. I would pay for a membership here if I could get those back and my personal locker.

Mike Jamie

They need to update their hours on here. I am not trying to wait till almost noon to work out on the weekend.

Diane Arrowood

the pool doesn't let kids do anything open swim is only open on Monday and Wednesdays and the aquatic center is only open on Friday Saturday and Sundays a you have to pay to get in and the rest of the week its lap swim you have to pass the test to be able to lap swim and you have to be 6 years old to do the swimming test so my brother and i sat on the deck so my dad could tech us how to swim but then they have another ridiculous rule that is you can't have your kids sit on deck while learning how to swim ! thats way i hate this pool and if i could give it a one star i could not only is it the pool but the rock-wall as well you have to be 13 to go on the rock-wall i climb way harder rock-walls than that and they wore real so you might as well make a test for the rock-wall or make our parents sign a waver !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ricardo Thomas

They still haven't finished fixing the locker rooms yet.
