Sheridan Gym

One star off for something simple but hey, you got one job. Don't get me wrong, I have been to Sheridan several times, not because I want to.. rather because my meeting point with other soldiers is here and everyone agrees to meet here, simply because it is close by our barracks, just within 5 mins walking. Legit, one of the best gym because they are heavily equipment invested, no joke. The place is always clean, cool AC, not too crowd, even their racks are neat and full of dumbells from whatever weight you need. Normally, I would go to McVeigh, my first option. Well, for some technical issues, they are closed till Sept. Then I moved to my second option, Soldier's Field House, but let's be honest, definitely too crowd there often times. My team agreed to just meet up in Sheridan (most of us were from McVeigh or Soldier's field house to begin with tbh) to make our gym PT simple and less transportation, so I agreed too. Needless, to say, today, not knowing the side door is only for emergency exit (I swear, there is no sign for that door to be an emergency at all let alone any alarm system built on the door for it to be an official emergency door), I left from that side door because I parked just right outside through the side door. With the knowledge that I do not need to sign out anymore, I decided to leave from the side door. The only thing marking that door is the Exit sign just right above the door, nothing else. In your right mind, you wouldn't think that door would be an emergency door. So I came out only to be stopped by the manager who drove past by telling me that I wasn't supposed to leave from that door since it is an emergency door. I don't know which sign that lets me know it is an emergency door because I came back inside and checked the entire section of that back door to find nothing saying emergency door. You have one job, Sir. It's as easy as sticking a sign stating "Emergency Door Only" and set up an alarm system that gets triggered when people push that door to make that door officially emergency door. I used to be a manager for a restaurant before joining the Army and something as simple as this is never done in years, that really surprised me. Please put up something appropriate on that door so people wouldn't mistaken the door anymore. Stop being lazy and micro manage everything and leave.

Very crowded at PT hours. Lots of equipment and lifting racks.

Great gym for the serous gym goers (the ones that don’t come in to people watch and/or play on their phone). Clean/spacious facility with a great staff. More of a crossfit/calisthenics gym (not a bad thing!), but does have some free weights in a small room as well as some cardio machines in another separate room. Restrooms look newly remodeled and always clean. This gym is by far, the cleanest, non-smelly, gym I’ve ever been to.

Fantastic on-post gym. Fair amount of free weights, machines, and cardio equipment. And the highlight is the Olympic lifting and dynamic movement area, tons of squat/bench racks with quality new bumper plates. Sleds, d-balls, tire flips and other high intensity dynamic equipment. Best gym on post!
