“I go first thing in the morning before work. It always has that clean smell and plenty of towels. Eric and his staff are excellent. You also have plenty of room with brand new equipment and a new basketball court… First Class.???”
“Restricted access (DOD post access required). Very good military gym-especially for the serviced population size. Good free weight, cardio, and machine areas. Many types of Crossfit equipment available (although limited open area for it--can be worked around in the basketball court by moving protective pads into position). Very good basketball court (to include the nostalgia of visiting units' artwork) and racquetball court. There is also a one mile paved track right outside the gym. Good track, although it is not lighted so take that into consideration. Mike Deak / Dale Covington lighted 1 mile track in McAlester is what I use to get my mileage without having to worry about a vehicular sideswipe. Note the hours--a bit eclectic, but the population it normally services is also not the "normal" Army populace.”
“I have been to all the gyms in this area and all of them have great stuff, but the atmosphere is different at bar benders, people are very nice and people that workout there if they see you need help they don't hesitate. I'm truly shocked at the kindness and family type atmosphere. As far as weights and workout equipment there, bar benders has great equipment they even have Ronny colemans old personal gym equipment I love using it. I'm staying with bar benders for me it's a great family oriented place. Even the kids have fun!”
“Nice track. Would be nice to have more lighting. Overall pretty laid back track to walk, Jog, Run or Cycle. Dogs have to be on a leash. Even has a playground on the south side for the kiddos to relax.”
