Four distinct state of the art physical �tness centers, Natch-er, Gammon, Otto and Smith, o�er an extensive range of health promoting programs to the community. Active Duty, Retirees, National Guard, Reservists, DoD civilian employees and their immediate Family members may use the Fitness Centers.

Free services available at the Centers include the use of weight rooms (Nautilus, Body Master, Hammer Strength, Life�tness and Star Trac), racquetball and basketball courts, saunas, cardio rooms and lockers. A wide range of physical, health promoting special programs and activities, including the services of personal trainers are also o�ered.

Natcher Physical Fitness Center, located at 2341 Gary Owen Regiment Avenue, features free weights/strength training equipment, selectorized and plate loaded, steppers, recum-bent bikes, rowers, treadmills, cross trainers, suspended indoor running track, three full size basketball courts, vol-leyball, two glass enclosed racquetball courts, and outdoor ¼-mile running track.

Otto Physical Fitness Center, located at 6591 Abel Street, re-cently completely renovated, features state of the art equip-ment including free weights/strength training equipment, selectorized and plate loaded, steppers, recumbent bikes, rowers, treadmills, cross trainers, an extra large sauna for both men and women, lockers and showers, cardio room, a 6,000 sq. ft. weight room with overhead jogging/walking track, fourteen 55” �at screen televisions, stereo system and an 11,000 sq. ft. basketball �oor with electronic bleachers, goals and scoreboards.

Smith Physical Fitness Center, located at 5927 Cavalry Drive,

is currently undergoing an extensive renovation and expan-sion process. Extra large saunas, locker rooms and showers, a climbing wall, a 6,000 sq. ft. cardio and weight room are being added. Gammon Physical Fitness Center, located at 850 Radio Street, is open for most physical �tness activities in the areas of weight training, cardio and upstairs areas designed for func-tional �tness. Some areas at Gammon recently underwent a full scale renovation. The new construction includes an extra aerobic room to expand the existing program, a smoothie bar, childcare areas, and a therapeutic massage room which will be sta�ed by a licensed massage therapist.

Fuel Bar will o�er a variety of smoothies designed to boost the health and �tness of patrons. The drinks will be a blend of 100 percent all natural fruit based drink mixes combined with the highest quality supplements available. Fuel will o�er meal replacement smoothies, energy smoothies and muscle building smoothies that may be consumed before or after a workout.

Gammon's new "Kids on Site" childcare o�ers hourly child-care for parents who are attending �tness classes. Childcare will be available for children 6 weeks to twelve years of age. Childcare is limited to two hours per customer, per session.

“We are pleased to o�er these new services to the commu-nity, especially the expansion of our aerobic program and hourly childcare. Hourly childcare may be much appreci-ated by those whose sponsors are deployed as they can use Gammon’s facilities for relieving stress and promoting health,” said Shannon Wolfrum, Director, FMWR Sports and Fitness.

Halloween, celebrated each year on October 31, is a mixture of ancient Celtic practices,

Catholic and Roman religious rituals and European folk traditions that blended together

over time to create the holiday we know today. In ancient times, people were superstitious

believing that the dead can return to Earth on Halloween. They would light bon�res and wear

costumes to ward o� evil spirits and roaming ghosts. In the 19th century, Halloween became

a more community-based children’s holiday where people looked forward forward to parades,

costumes, and sweet treats to usher in the winter season.

Family and MWR activities are holding fun events where goblins, ghouls and other

costumed characters get together for some make-believe spooky, but harmless,

Halloween fun activities.

REMEMBERING THE FALLEN…ARMY STRONG FESTIVAL 2011

Fort Knox Family and MWR will host a Run for the Fallen on October 15 at 9:00 AM at the Natcher Physical Fitness Center. Run for the Fallen events are held across the nation to honor Active Duty service members who have made the ultimate sacri�ce for our Nation. The run/walk on the 15th of October will serve as an opportunity for Fort Knox community members to honor our fallen Military. Family members of our Fallen Soldiers are also invited to attend and participate in the event and are encouraged to bring pictures and/or memorabilia of their loved ones to display in a remembrance area.

"We want the Families of the Fallen to know that the sacri�ce their Soldier made will not be forgotten and that this community recognizes the sacri�ces they’ve made as well,” said Robyn Mroszczyk, a Financial Counselor with Army Community Service Survivor Outreach Services (SOS) program.

The run/walk beings at 9:00 AM at the running track behind Natcher Fitness Center on Gary Owen Regiment Avenue. The 2-mile course is stroller friendly and bicycles are welcome with appropriate safety gear. No pets allowed. The run is open to the public and all ages and abilities may participate. For more information about the Run for the Fallen, please contact Army Community Service (SOS) at (502) 624-1789 or (502) 624-2006.

Following the run, the Army Family Strong Festival will run from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Natcher Fitness Center. The Festival is free and open to Military ID card holders. “This is the third year Family and MWR has hosted this free event to show our appreciation of Soldiers and Families,” said Melinda Roberts, Division Chief of Army Community Service.

Weather permitting, the parking area adjacent to the �tness center will be �lled with in�atables, funnel cakes, hay rides, and carnival rides. Regardless of the weather, inside Natcher Fitness Center there will be more in�atables, crafts and activities for children. Free food, snacks and beverages will include hot dogs, chips, water, juice, and sodas.

Come rain or shine! Join Family and MWR on Saturday October 15 for a full day of celebrating our Soldiers and our community.
