Rambler Fitness Center

Fully equipped gym! You can get access cards to allow 24 hour use of the facility. It has 2 levels with a track upstairs. They have something for everyone, including free-​weights, machines, basketball courts, etc. Bring your headphones and hang out for awhile!

The 24 hr idea is noble if you can get access. Which by the way there are different hours to get access set up as well even though they might be «open». They lock the rowing machines in workout room so don’t plan to row after hours. The sauna temperature is unpredictable, sometimes super hot and others don’t even bother. Got mixed feelings about this place.

The facility is great and they do have a lot of equipment but there is not much room for a solid pump when you want to throw weights around (not literally). If you are doing a dumbell fly you have to be careful not to hit the person nect to you. The exercise rooms are ok. They do not have CHALK??? If you are into cross fit its not the place. The gym is mostly machines and they have 2 squat racks.

Great place to work out! Love the indoor track on hot summer days.

Love this place it’s just too crowded!

Love this gym! It’s one of the best military facilities I have been too! Indoor and outdoor tracks, great group classes, nice staff and an awesome smoothie bar! I used to hate the gym but now I look forward to going!

Love this place!!!
Previous review pretty much said it all… this place has everything!
Including:
Olympic/​cross fit platform,
Bumper plates
Diamond/​trap bar
Land mine attachment
Also have a track right across the street and some outdoor equipment which include
TRX, GHD, Squat/​Pull up rig and a few other things.

Mi familia and I have visited Rambler multiple times. This place is as nice as any of the membership fitness centers in town, replete with racquetball courts, indoor running track, machine & free weights, and classes. Best of all, it’s free for military personnel and their dependents. Eight thumbs, way up.

The best part of working on base: free access to the state-​of-​the-​art gym!
The Rambler Fitness Center has it all, y’all: indoor and outdoor track, cardio/​free weights/​circuit training machines as far as the eye can see, a stretch/​ball/​abs area, aerobics rooms, a punching bag, indoor volleyball, basketball, and racquetball courts, a cycling room… oh, and outdoor pools and tennis courts. You want it, they’ve got it.
I generally bore at gyms… I like exercising in the great outdoors… but I love the Mon, Wed, Fri 11:15am spin classes. Donna and Holly are tough, but fun, instructors and I love that they change up their playlists for each class. Classes are $ 3 each, or just buy the 10-​class card for $ 25 or I get the 20-​class card for $ 50.
If I ever get a job off base, I’ll cry at the loss of my access to the Rambler Fitness Center… for reals…

Great equipment and plenty of it. Add towels and blow dryers and you’ll have my 5 stars.

Rambler fitness center is the most up-​to date military gym I have seen. Staff is very friendly. Gym gets very crowded.

Used to come here with my bf (at the time just friends) when we were training for a half marathon. The outside track is just your average track, nothing really special. But the golf course track is a lot more challenging and scenic. A lot of mosquitoes in the summer… And I mean A lot.
The gym itself is really nice, but after a few times I wasn’t allowed to be a guest anymore of my bf’s because «guest» meant for only out of towners. That sucked because in order to go to the gym together we now are paying to go to gold’s gym.
Anyways, on this particular Saturday afternoon, the weather was beautiful so we decided to play tennis on the outdoor courts where they don’t check for military or out of towners Id cards. (Just like the outdoor tracks I mentioned earlier.) The courts do need some work. Leaves everywhere, trash everywhere, nets not in their best condition, and just two courts (at least where we were playing). But they do have the practice board which is always nice to have.
The best thing about this center is that everything is free for my Captain boyfriend and I’m allowed to enjoy it as well for the most part.
Oh btw, Support your troops! :)

OPEN during Government Shutdown! Yay!

I am so thankful for this fitness center. It has many of the bells and whistle of Gold’s, Planet Fitness, etc. but without the cost of course. It’s part of our military benefits and I intend to make good use of it! I like to eat waaayyy too much. So I have to work it off somehow.
Elliptical, treadmill, stairclimbers, bikes, free weights, assisted weights, track, sauna, group exercise classes… I love/​hate them all ;p But I will show up and get work done! YEAH BUDDY. Then of course undo everything by lunch time. Sigh…
See you tomorrow, Rambler.

Awesome hours M-​F. If only they had the same hours on the weekends, but alas…
Anyway, plenty of cardio equipment and weight machines. Everything is clean and functioning and the staff is very nice. I truly enjoy starting my days working out here!

I have been here almost every day since we moved here and I love it! I have gone to the Jimmy Brought Gym on fort Sam quite a few times as well and that place just doesn’t even compare… Rambler is so clean and even when they are busy I never have to wait for anything. Also, I love the little family workout room. I just had a baby and I am able to bring him right in there with us in the stroller. We dont have any family here in Texas to watch him and he is too little for me to be willing to leave him with strangers so this room is an absolute life saver!

I loved coming here when I used to live on Randolph. The thing going for it is that it doesn’t get too busy on nights and weekends so you don’t have to wait for any of the cardio equipment. The facility is well maintained and the whole staff are friendly and helpful.

I LOVE Rambler Fitness Center!
I have been coming here for over a year now and it just recently occurred to me to start checking in for some reason… I come here about 5 days a week right after work. Sometimes I forget to check in even then! :(
Anyway, like the previous reviewer said before, it’s free to all military personnel, family members, or someone with a military ID can take up to 2 people in.
It’s awesome. Top of the line equipment, wet wipes to clean the equipment, it seems all of the gym goers are extremely polite (they always hold doors for the person behind them) I wonder if this is a good old fashioned military instilled value?
Anyway, my only complaints which I don’t think are even properly warranted is they have been doing construction on the parking lot across the street for a long time. Sometimes I have to park waaay out in the boonies because of this…
I know, I know, I came to work out right? Why am I complaining about a dang walk? Because I usually have my hands full of gear to change into, I sunburn easily and most days it’s hotter than a firecracker lit on both ends!
Anyway, the other thing is the pool. It is detached. That is annoying. I used to belong to Gold’s Gym back in the day, and the pool was conveniently attached to the locker rooms so you could stroll right on through with your swim suit straight to the showers. With Rambler, I suppose you would have to put your items in the locker, the walk all the way around toward the covered walkway, head to the pool, swim, walk all the way back around to the front entrance of Rambler to show your military ID again.
Yes, I have made sure about this, I have asked them at the front desk and they said unfortunately, this is the only way to do it, because of security reasons they must check your ID. I was fooled for awhile because many people sit in the sauna in their swimsuits, go shower off, then go back in the sauna and repeat. It appeared to me that somehow they had just come from the pool… alas, I was wrong.
Otherwise this gym is great. There are also workout classes such as Zumba and Step, racquetball courts, a tennis court (outdoors), an upstairs walking or running track, (even one outdoors across the street!) a large basketball court (which is always buzzing with players), a rock wall, a room for spinning classes, etc.

Rambler Fitness Center is my second home. I love how half of the weight room has windows across the wall. It really helps staring out into scenery rather than a wall when your on a treadmill/​weight machine everyday. It’s never too busy here and if the parking lot is full it’s usually because they have a game going on at the court. They have an indoor and outdoor track, 2 exercise rooms, courts, massages, cycle room, saunas, regular classes and lockers. What more can you ask for from a free gym!!!
