    Mathis Sports and Fitness Centers Goes 24 Hours

    SAN ANGELO, TX, UNITED STATES

    Story by Gary Jenkins 

    17th Training Wing Public Affairs

    Reporter:
    THE DECISION TO EXPAND OPERATIONS TO 24 HOURS A DAY CAME AS A RESULT OF A SUCCESSFUL INITIATIVE FOUR YEARS AGO WITH SELECTED AIR FORCE BASES ACROSS THE NATION.

    NOW ALL AIR FORCE BASES ARE OPERATING THEIR FITNESS CENTERS AROUND THE CLOCK. FITNESS AND SPORTS MANAGER MARCEL GIBSON SAYS MATHIS STAFF WILL BE ON HAND MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 4:30 IN THE MORNING TO 9 AT NIGHT, SATURDAYS 8 A.M. TO 8 P.M. AND SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS 10 A.M. TO 6 P.M.

    BEYOND THOSE HOURS USERS OF THE FACILITY WILL HAVE TO USE THEIR CAC CARD TO GAIN ACCESS…..

    Gibson Soundbite: We will take their CAC card and input the information into the data base, the system and we will use that card and put it on a proximity reader which will read that card. And once that’s done we will save all the information and they’ll be good to go.

    Reporter: FITNESS CENTER PATRONS SAY THE EXPANDED HOURS ARE A BIG HIT BECAUSE IT’S ALL ABOUT CONVENIENCE……

    Skrivanek Soundbite: I’m actually really excited about that. It gives me the chance to actually get out, start my day out earlier instead of later and having to wait.

    Reporter: SO IF AN EARLY MORNING WORKOUT JUST ISN’T YOUR THING, NOW YOU CAN COME TO THE MATHIS SPORTS AND FITNESS CENTER WHERE YOU CAN WORK OUT ANY TIME, 24 HOURS A DAY. GARY JENKINS, GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, TEXAS.
