Victory Fitness Center

I used this gym infrequently for about two months while here for ALC, and I can say that this is 100% the worst taken care of gym I’ve seen in my 9yrs and 4 duty stations in the Army. It has all the equipment you need to get a good workout in however, none of the equipment is taken care of. Every piece of equipment is rusting and will leave a disgusting residue of rust mixed with previous users sweat on your hands/ clothes. Not one broken piece of floor was fixed in the 2 months I was at Gordon (the blue squares in the pic) as you can see in the picture included below. The floor in the main area is broken and randomly uneven. I did a set of power cleans and dropped the weight from a normal height and the weight bounced back and almost took my knees out. This gym is a liability waiting to happen. The gym has terrible ventilation and it feels like you are working out in a sauna. If you go on the weekend NO ONE is there, and I can see why. There’s also a middle aged African American male at the front desk with a solemn face who very obviously does not want to work at the gym. All this combined and I chose to pay and workout at Crunch for the last couple weeks I was at ALC. I’d rather pay money than workout here which is unfortunate. If you look at my profile pic I’m a very fit guy too and I’m not some fatty who complains about everything, so come on Fort Eisenhower do better.

This gym is very good for people who want that indoor outdoor feel, but still have access to equipment such as treadmills and such. Also has a open floor concept. Also this is my review from pre-Covid and a little post Covid era. Things could have possibly changed.

This is one of my favorite gyms to work out at. They have a variety of areas to complete a good workout, free weights, kettlebells, sled push, kicking box area, and a separate CrossFit area. They have drinks and a few smoothies. The bathrooms are always clean and the staff are friendly and helpful when needed. Hopefully, the installation can come to a resolution to fix the HVAC system to allow for better ventilation in the warmer months. The hours are inconsistent due to the HVAC not working properly

Decent gym with terrible management decisions. I’ve been going to this gym for about a year now and I don’t think things are getting any better so I’ll post this review hoping it will be seen. The staff like to leave the majority of the clean up to the patrons. I have never seen the kettle bell shelves in better shape than is posted. They do post a ton of signs telling patrons to put the weights back and how to Organise them, and I guess that is as much effort the staff is willing to put into it. On weekend for some reason they put away the ID card scanner and make you fill out a piece of paper to use the gym. Just….why? The worst part is they lock up the safety equipment in a room because they are afraid of people stealing it. It blows me away that management is so afraid of someone stealing a $2 clip that they let people lift heavy weights and risk serious injury from the weights shifting. Terrible decisions by management. Even if you do get some clips by filling out yet another piece of paper, they have different sizes of bars and the clips sometimes don’t fit (see picture). Several machines have been broken for the entire year I have been coming here. Overall, decent gym but is under attack from terrible management. At the very least give people access to safety equipment.

The gym is decent. The gym closes at 8:00 p.m. However, I just wish the one gentleman would stop turning the lights, televisions, fans, etc 40 minutes before they close. He walks around with an attitude and seems to not want to do his job!
