U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground’s two micro-gyms located on the BROC and Kofa Cantonment recently received new equipment. Fitness Facility Manager Dani Compton said, “We have added new weight benches to both, with some dumb bells and kettle bells. We added medicine balls and some different weighted material that can provide more of a workout then they would have been getting with just the cable machine or the cardio equipment.”

U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) employees, if hitting the gym is one of your new year’s resolutions YPG’s two micro-gyms are now better equipped to help you reach your goal.

The micro-gyms found inside the BROC building accessible via the restrooms and the Kofa Cantonment at the Kofa Wellness Center recently received new equipment.

“We have added new weight benches to both, with some dumb bells and kettle bells. We added medicine balls and some different weighted material that can provide more of a workout then they would have been getting with just the cable machine or the cardio equipment,” explained Fitness Facility Manager Dani Compton.

The micro-gyms can be used by individuals with a Common Access Card and access to those cantonment areas. The BROC micro-gym is available during business hours. The Kofa Wellness Center is available 24-hours a day however to gain initial access, employees must contact the Fitness Center for a waiver and the door combination.

Army Test and Evaluation Command employees can enroll for the Army Civilian Fitness and Health Program by contacting Wellness Officer Michele Dominguez at (928) 328-4090. Garrison employees can contact Wellness Officer Miranda Choate (928) 328-2167.

Dominguez credits the Ready and Resiliency Council for conducting a user survey that jumpstarted the momentum.

“If you haven’t been in there, check it out,” Dominguez said to the workforce.

Dominguez and Compton share that YPG will continue to improve the wellness facilities including the Fitness Center on Main post which is gearing up to provide access 24-hours a day.

“We are always looking for input of what people would like. That doesn’t mean we can necessarily give it to them, but it gives us an idea of what the patrons that are using the facilities do want and need,” said Compton.
