Spangdahlem Eifel Powerhaus

Negative Erfahrung: The gym itself is fine, but only if you can catch them during the seemingly random hours they are open. Absolutely zero empathy for transient aircrew. Showed up at 3 PM on a Wednesday to find a sign saying “24 hour access only” and a group of workers there who were flatly unwilling to just scan the ID for someone who is: 1. Not stationed at this base 2. Doesn’t get to decide his own schedule We only get so many opportunities to workout while flying the AF’s missions and to be turned away without exception during this base’s notoriously limited duty hours feels insulting.

Fantastisches Erlebnis: Nice New Facility with lots of equipment. Generally not crowded. Nice Basketball Court. Climbing Wall.

Negative Erfahrung: Too packed. Skelton provides a better atmosphere.

Fantastisches Erlebnis: All I need for a great workout. Personnel is always friendly and ready to help.

Negative Erfahrung: I am unable to give a thorough review, as I was denied access to the facility by the staff. Wednesday morning at 8am, I tried entering the gym but the door is locked, I see a sign that says 24/7 access only. Now, I understand when this happens, the issue that I have is that there were two staff members that were standing in the lobby. I point at the sign and put my arms up as a gesture of confusion. They open the door and say "sorry sir, we are closed for training today and it is 24 access only." I explained to them that I flew in late last night and am leaving within the next few hours, not stationed here, and kindly asked if they would allow me access just for the morning, to which they replied "No, absolutely not." Isnt Force Support supposed to support the force? What happened to chivalry and simple empathy. Mind you, I had already taken my pre-workout and walked half a mile from the base hotel. Again, I understand days where it is 24 access only, but the fact alone they were there and still denied me access is mind-blowing. Yes, I understand they're doing they're jobs and not procedurely wrong, but when it comes down to basic human understanding, I am incredibly disappointed in this facility and staff. Thank you, FSS, for always meeting my expectations.

Fantastisches Erlebnis: Spoko

Positive Erfahrung: This is an ok gym. It isn’t quite large enough to support the base population, nor do they have a significant spread of equipment, but it is clean and they have pretty high standards amongst the employees.

Positive Erfahrung: I might give this place a 3.5 for weightlifting, it has most of the basic equipment needed to get a decent lift in, but lacks many needed things and there is only one of many things. The overall layout and the way the equipment is organized is not very good. It's pretty busy between 0600-0700 & 1600-1700, and it gets cleaned daily.

Negative Erfahrung: Ok at best.

Positive Erfahrung: Too small

Fantastisches Erlebnis: Top.

Fantastisches Erlebnis: Newer facility with lots of options, indoor track, lots of weights and machines, rock wall! All well maintained by a friendly knowledgeable staff

Positive Erfahrung: Very nice facility

Fantastisches Erlebnis: Quick and easy, just call ahead for an appointment.

Fantastisches Erlebnis:

Fantastisches Erlebnis: They have everything you need to excel your fitness whether strength, speed, or stamina.

Fantastisches Erlebnis: Clean and well organized. Great facility

Fantastisches Erlebnis: Very clean modern gym, the staff is awesome!

Positive Erfahrung: Great for crossfit. Very clean, and top grade equipment.

Negative Erfahrung: Waaaay too crowded. There's not nearly enough machines to people ratio.

Positive Erfahrung: Not enough squat racks or deadlifting areas. Ventilation is poor.

Positive Erfahrung: Issue the weight room is to small and the early morning and afternoon hours around 1600 are very difficult to get an efficient work out. Plus the areas are well kept very clean. Staff in the gym very friendly and helpful.

Positive Erfahrung: Not enough free weights, tons of wasted space. At any point during the day there are dozens of unused cardio machines. Gigantic lobby area only for hte purpose of looking pretty. It gets the job done but whoever designed this new fitness center wasn't thinking straight.

Positive Erfahrung: Small but okay
