The AWC, Army Wellness Center, is one of them. I've been using it for the last 4 months and my experience there is just great. Basically, this is a center that helps you with everything that is wellness related like stress management, weight control, sleeping disorders or even tobacco cessation. In my case, I use it for weight control, they give you different test to know where you are and get you in the right track. From body fat %, measured by a Bod Pod that in any other place would cost you from $150-300 to metabolism rate, rated by your breathing in a 15 mins. With them I keep track of my body fat more accurately than just taping my neck and belly. The staff members are very professionals and well prepared, at least a health related Bachelor Degree, so you won't be talking with a Gym Rat with a book of Bro-science.

I am very interested in the weight issues since it seems to be such a problem these days for our young and old Soldiers. What more could you ask for. Great tool.

Do you have any suggestions to leverage this for the reserve and national guard types?

I think they offer a really good look into your overall health and the facilitators here are extremely knowledgeable in their field. I did the metabolic test, Bod Pod, and Fitness Test and each assessment has been really accurate. I wanted to make sure I was maintaining a healthy lifestyle and not letting my overall fitness suffer while on profile/recovering. I honestly wish I had visited sooner!
