Touchless Sign-In System for Fitness Centers

MWR Fitness Centers are implementing a touchless sign-in system! ACTION IS NEEDED FROM YOU!

To access the gyms, you need an active WebTrac household account and to activate your ID card with our new system. 

There are 3 ways you can create your household:

  1. Visit MWR WebTrac to create an account. Then visit Smith Fitness Center to have your ID card activated.
  2. Visit Smith Fitness Center to fill out an information form. Our staff will input your information during your workout and you can activate your ID card before you leave.
  3. Visit Smith Fitness Center and a staff member will help enter your household information and activate your ID card while you wait.

Note: Account creation and ID card activation will be available at other fitness centers once the new systems become available.

Instructions on how to create a household on WebTrac can be found here.

If you already have an MWR Recreation household account (commonly used for Outdoor Recreation events and pool reservations), you do not need to complete this step.

We recommend accessing the WebTrac website through a desktop or laptop. Mobile devices may not be compatible. 

24/7 Sign-Up

So, how does it work?

  1. Stop by Smith Gym or Whittington High Performance Center and fill out a 24/7 agreement form and do a walk through / orientation on the 24/7 rules. We advise that you allow at least 30 minutes to complete the registration and walk-through process.
  2. Receive your access card
  3. 24/7 access: granted

We know that being a TRADOC installation means that the schedules of many of our patrons vary greatly, so we’re excited to enhance soldier readiness - day or night.

NOTE: In the near future, your CAC or DoD ID card will work as your access card, but it will need to be registered in RecTrac during normal business hours. Stop by Smith Gym for more information.

24-Hour Fitness Center Membership Application and Agreement

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I register for an access card?  Stop by Smith Gym  or Whittington High Performance Center and fill out a 24/7 agreement form and do a walk through / orientation on 24/7 rules. This is not a quick process, so patrons will need to allow at least 30 minutes to complete the registration. You will be put into the system and given an access card that allows access to the facility when it is closed.

NOTE: In the near future, your CAC or DoD ID card will work as your access card, but it will need to be registered during normal business hours.
What is off limits / closed?  There are several areas that are blocked off during 24/7 access and these will be shown during the initial orientation.
Is there a fee?  24/7 access is free, but there is a $5 fee to replace a lost card.
What can revoke 24/7 access privileges?  All of the guidelines for using the facility after hours will be discussed during orientation, but the big three rules that can revoke access are allowing others in that are not registered, stealing equipment and any destructive behavior to the facility or its equipment. This will not only revoke 24/7 access privileges, but it will also revoke use of any MWR fitness facilities on Fort Moore.
How do you know who breaks the rules?  There is a 24/7 video recording of all areas of the gym. This footage is reviewed. Anyone breaking any of the rules will lose all gym privileges, not just 24/7 privileges.

GRIT: These HIIT workouts build cardiovascular fitness while improving strength, building lean muscle and maximizing calorie burn. A 30-minute high-intensity interval cycle workout helps you smash goals faster! Series: Cardio, Strength, and Plyo

STRONG by Zumba: Combines bodyweight, muscle conditioning, cardio and plyometric training moves synced to music  designed to match every  move.

Zumba: A fusion of Latin and international music/dance themes that create dynamic, exciting, and based on the principle that a workout should be fun and easy to do.

MixxedFit®: is a people-inspired dance fitness program that is a perfect blend of explosive dancing and boot camp inspired toning.

Zumba® Toning: This class is designed for those who want to party, but put extra emphasis on toning and sculpting to define those muscles!  The challenge of adding resistance by using Zumba® Toning Sticks (or light weights), helps you focus on specific muscle groups, so you (and your muscles) stay engaged!

Zumba Sentao®: combines strength and resistance training with innovative dance moves, using a chair as your dance partner.

Yoga Flow: A full body Vinyasa yoga class linking breath to movement with a focus on posture fundamentals and mindfulness. Expect to begin each flow slowly with a detailed description of pose form, and then transition to breath to movement pace in subsequent flows. Come on in and unroll your mat for an hour of inspiring tunes and positive self-care!

Yoga Fusion: Yoga Fusion incorporates stationary poses to challenge your balance and staying power with elements of flow to challenge your whole body. Designed to create smooth transitions from one pose to the next. Suitable for all levels.

Power Yoga (Ashtanga Inspired):  This class will use various synchronized poses coupled with breath work to create heat and energetic movement.  It is great for building core strength, and toning the body.  Be prepared to sweat and move through a set sequence.  This class is appropriate for intermediate levels.
