As well as an Olympic-size pool, complete with sun loungers, there's a gym, with weights and cardio equipment, and a studio where soldiers and civilians mingle overstep aerobics, the Tae Bo fitness system, a weight loss program, and African dance. There are tennis courts, seven-a-side football pitches, volleyball, beach volleyball, and a restaurant run by the Southern Fried Chicken franchise.
