Not a bad gym for a navy base. My only complaint is that they do not have mirrors behind their squat racks. Overall, the staff is cool and the customers provide a nice environment. 3.5/5
Great gym! Has lots of equipment and activity rooms. The pool is heated which is a plus.
My go to gym as a retiree in Gulfport. The classes for yoga, HIIT, and just my own cyclic routine is more than adequate.
I started my fitness journey about three months ago, but I’ve been working with the personal trainer, Cori, for just over two months now—and I can’t say enough great things about her and the MWR facilities. Cori is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and always encouraging. Even when I was feeling down on myself, she never gave up on me. We’ve been working one-on-one, and the difference I’ve seen between where I started and where I am now (and still growing) is amazing. When I first began, I struggled with movement and mobility. Now, I can proudly say I’m able to do unassisted squats—something I never thought I’d be able to do! I truly couldn’t have gotten here without her guidance and accountability. Cori’s support has given me so much confidence that I even tried her new Friday kickboxing class. Just a few months ago, I would’ve thought, “No way, I can’t do that.” But thanks to her encouragement, I pushed through. It wasn’t perfect, and it was definitely the hardest workout I’ve done so far, but I did it—and that felt incredible. Beyond the amazing training, the gym itself offers so many resources. The number of free classes, access to machines, weights, and more is phenomenal—especially considering it’s a free gym! And I just discovered there’s a sauna in the locker rooms, which is such a great bonus. I also love that there’s a family workout room, which makes it so convenient to squeeze in a workout even when you have kids with you. I’m so grateful for Cori and the whole MWR team for creating such a supportive and accessible fitness environment. Highly recommend!
Great gym. Staff is always pleasant to talk to. Even during the busiest hours they are on top of cleaning. Only issue i notice are needing to manage the teenagers that are dependanta come in and horse around with the equipment. That and those that spot claim 3+ equipment peaces at a time.
