Exercising AT Home During the COVID-19 Outbreak

If you’re staying at home, you still probably want to continue your workout routine. “Focus on the basics such as planks, pushups, squats, leg lifts, or bicycles and burpees for an easy workout that will build strength and get your heart rate up. To build a workout is to do 4 rounds of 5 exercises for 45 seconds of work, followed by 15 seconds of rest. Choose exercises that target different areas of your body and you’ll have a full-body workout in less than 20 minutes.

For people looking for more guidance during their home exercise, there are plenty of tutorials available online, whether on YouTube or other portals. One such example is the online yoga platform EkhartYoga, which is offering free gentle yoga and meditation classes online to people during the outbreak to help counteract the escalation of stress and anxiety that comes with it.

We thank you all for your patience during these trying times. We will continue to provide updates and look forward to seeing you all again!

PAC Inclement Weather Policy

As we head toward the 2018-2019 winter season, the Pentagon Athletic Center (PAC) wants to take this opportunity to remind our membership of the PAC’s operating procedure during inclement weather.

The PAC is committed to providing the highest-level of customer service and satisfaction without compromising the safety of our members and employees. During severe weather conditions, natural disasters, emergencies and other incidents which may cause disruptions of operations at the Pentagon and its annexes at the Taylor building and the Mark Center, the PAC’s operating procedure is to comply with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) guidance on dismissal and closure procedures.

* If OPM announces that the Federal Government is closed, the PAC will be closed

* If OPM announces a delayed opening, the PAC will have the same delayed opening.

* If OPM announces that the Federal Government is open, with unscheduled leave authorized for employees, the PAC management will make a determination on whether the facilities will be open, closed, or have a delayed opening.

When the PAC is operating under any of the above conditions, the facilities website, Facebook page, and voicemail message will be updated as soon as possible to reflect the current operating status. The operating status can also be viewed at the below link.

Sink and Countertop Renovation Project - July 12, 2017

Please excuse the dust and debris as we are in the process of renovating and replacing the sinks and countertops in the locker rooms.

The project will start on 17 July and run through 4 August. Work will take place in the evening and over the weekend. The men's locker room sinks and countertops will be completed in two phases- one bank of sinks at a time. Temporary sinks will be placed in the women's locker room during the project's duration. The women's locker room will be closed the weekend of 22-23 July (members may still access lockers) and women are encouraged to use the family changing room.

We hope this improvement to our facility has a minimal effect on your experience.

Thank you for your patience.

PAC Water Infiltration (Leaks) Analysis - April 24, 2013

The ongoing in-depth analysis will require non-destructive and limited destructive methods to address and resolve continued water infiltration issues in the PAC.

The multi-disciplinary engineering team utilizes the "big picture" approach so that nothing of importance and relevance will get lost or overlooked during this complex research and analytical process.
