I.C.E. COMMENT

NEWS AND NOTICES

COMMENT: The remodel of the 24/7 gym at Purdy Fitness Center is both unsafe and an incredible inconvenience for those who do shift work and can’t get to the free weight room. What was the thought process here? Why are half the machines gone? This was a horrible decision. Please change it back or even better open up the weight room 24/7. Do something please.

RESPONSE: Thank you for your feedback on the Yokosuka Quality of Life programs. The family friendly workout spaces provides parents/legal guardians the opportunity to workout while maintaining line-of-site responsibility for their children as instructed by Commander, Navy Installation Command. The previous spaces did not meet the requirements

in the CNIC instruction. The policy mandates that the child play area accommodate infants and toddlers/children separately. Designated areas must be sectioned o� by a 36-inch barrier with accessible entry/exit to the adult � tness area. The current location turned-out to be the most logical option with less potential impact on operation and patron

usage. Many of the machines in the � tness room were moved around to accommodate the child play area, but only two were relocated to other parts of Purdy Gym. The Fleet Recreation Gym also has a full exercise area, cardio and weight rooms for patrons 15 and older. We hope that you continue to utilize our facilities to achieve your � tness goals.
