Free Strength & Conditioning 8 week sessions / Photo Gallery
Eligibility: Military, DA Civilians, Retirees, Dependants (18+).

Developing operational fitness for military and civilian personnel. Register up to 68 people (per session) to emphasize mobility, strength, restoration, and energy system development. Sixty minute sessions are designed to improve physical fitness and functionality. Our program works the body as an integrated unit instead of isolating specific body parts.

If those who are registered do not attend at least one class every two weeks, they may be removed from the class roster.  Class participants will only be allowed to sign up for one session per day, meaning members are not allowed to sign up for M/W/F 5:30 am and M/W/F 6:30am or 11:30am together.  Registering for T/Th 6:00 am and M/W/F sessions together is acceptable.  There will be a walk-in list at each class for those who were not able to register, or just want to try the class.  If the class is not at capacity (68), walk-ins will be allowed to fill the remaining space, on a first come, first served basis.

AEROBICS Classes

Pay $71.00 for a 10 week session / Pay $36.00 for a 5 week session
Pay-As-You-Go: $7.00 per class for the walk-in fee

Fitness Class Fees
Fort Belvoir Sports and Fitness pays a contractor Non Appropriated Funds (NAF) in order to provide aerobics classes. Charging a small fee allows the fitness centers to recover a portion of the NAF costs as well as provide a highly desirable aerobics program. Without a fee based program, we would not be able to offer the quality or quantity of aerobics classes that we currently have. Thank you for your support.
