Fort Hood Physical Fitness Centers
Rec Trac - Tired of signing in? Just swipe your card.Don’t worry because things are changing! Gone are the days signing in with a pen and paper at Family and MWR physical fitness centers, as we’re implementing modern strategies into facility usage.
Beginning March 15, patrons will only need to place their ID cards into a reader, upon entering the facility, wait for a beep and head on to their workout with the Rec Trac System.
The tracking of physical fitness center patrons is not the only purpose that Rec Trac serves. The system allows Family and MWR managers to track not only when customers are using the facilities and services, but the frequency of visits, the demographics of who is visiting when and more, allowing facility managers to decide on staffing needs. The system also integrates financial data into the mix, tracking receipts and inventory, giving managers one more tool to leverage to make the best decisions for the facility.
Get ahead of the game and register now! Check out a variety of available fitness classes by visiting http://www.hoodmwr.com/abrams_fitness.htm
