Open the rock wall. Last time I asked, at the start of summer, they just told me it was due to COVID-19. Now here we are, still driving an hour away to Chicago or Crystal Lake just to climb.

The 2nd best gym on base next to 2A building gym. Rather an extended multiplex gym. But with the current operating hours, it's too micro managed by the staff. There's wait times per work out area followed by time limits due to this being the only preferred gym to go to after 1300(1p.m) as it get crowded especially after 1600(4.pm). And then there's the social distancing thing. Another nice gym but boy, MWR needs to rethink their business hours and operations.

Equipment is decent, the social distancing is quite infuriating though. Good luck on leg day trying to get a platform, for they are minimal, oh and a maximum of 45 minutes on benches/platforms. After you wait in a 30 min to hour long wait just to get in then you must wait in line to get to certain parts of the gym. Not to meantion the enforcement of masks at all times even while running, and if it falls beneath your nose they will grill you for it, even if you are in the process of fixing it the staff will literally stand next to you while you are working out to micromanage your mask, be because they must be too good for the 6 foot rule.

Usually go to BLDG 2A but if want to mix up my nmn workout routine and do deadlifts, snatches, pull ups, run, rows, and push/pull sleds then this is where I go. I love the TRX set up and well maintained equipment.
