'Fitness on Request' Kiosks Can Save Air Force $10 Million

With tight budgets at military fitness centers, keeping services for members high and costs low is a balancing act. In an attempt to offer popular group exercise classes in the face of potential staffing cuts, the United States Air Force is expanding its "Fitness on Request" exercise kiosks to 66 bases, saving the Air Force as much as $10 million.

 

"With the bulk purchase, the cost per unit was approximately $23,000, which includes four years of maintenance and six years of class updates," says USAF media relations specialist Michael Dickerson. "With the Air Force spending an average of $2 million annually on group exercise instructor contracts, this works out to $12 million over the same six year period compared to just $2 million for all the kiosks and updates, potentially saving the Air Force approximately $10 million."
