Who has the authority to modify the hours of operation for a Fitness Center?

The authority to modify the hours of operation for a Fitness Center primarily lies with the Installation Commander. This individual holds overall responsibility for the management and operations of facilities within the installation, including fitness centers. As part of this role, the Installation Commander can make decisions that affect operational hours in order to align with mission requirements, availability of resources, and community needs.

While the Fitness Center Manager typically oversees the day-to-day operations and might propose adjustments based on user demand or staffing, any changes to the set hours ultimately require the approval of higher authority, often leading to the Installation Commander. The Head of Recreation Services and the Chief of Staff also play significant roles in overall recreation policies and command operations but do not have the specific jurisdiction regarding operational hours at the fitness centers. Thus, the Installation Commander remains the final decision-maker for such modifications.
