Living at the Marriott definitely has some perks. For us, one of the most utilized perks is the gym. Brian often works out on base during or after work, but since I'm a little less mobile, I take advantage of the gym at the Marriott. It's not terribly big, but it has everything anyone would need for a quality work out.
Here's a look at our gym:
In addition to what you can see in the photos there is also a rowing machine, bike, and a small rack of free weights.
My usual routine is to work out sometime between 0930 - 1130 for about 40 minutes. I have only once ever come across another person working out at the same time. Since it is a smaller gym, it's SO nice to have it to yourself! If Brian is unable to work out on base, he'll use the gym in the evening and it tends to be a little more crowded.
Side-note: The local (German) Mom's Club meets in the mornings to take their kids swimming at the Marriott. They all meet and prep in the room adjacent to the gym. An interesting thing I learned from the Mom's Club is that after they swim they take their toddlers into the sauna. Not sure if I'd feel comfortable taking a toddler into a sauna, but it seems to be the norm around here! Has anyone ever heard of taking young children into a sauna?
With all of the tasty beers and heavy German food we've been consuming, we're SO grateful to have a nice place to exercise.
