Good things to come for Yuma Proving Ground employees who are trying to stay fit without burning up in the summer heat
The Kofa Cantonment gym is reopened with upgraded equipment and a new look
The new additions to the gym include a spin bike, punching bag, ab bench and yoga mats. Users will also notice the back wall is painted a bright blue and with a Morale, Welfare, and Recreation decal proudly displayed. There are plans to expand upon more variety of upgrades throughout the gym based on usage and funding that is available
Alongside new materials a new security camera system has been installed to improve safety and accountability, allowing for more rotations of larger equipment throughout the gym
To further improve safety the Fitness Facility Manager Dani Compton asks that, “all users follow posted rules, sign in at each visit, and complete the required waiver. These steps help us track usage, justify funding, and ensure the facility remains safe and available for everyone.”
Outside of this current refresh, Compton plans to host a soft relaunch and open house once the interior and exterior are complete. Allowing employees to give feedback, see improvements, and learn about sign-in procedures
