Fort Liberty

Eleiko is proud to have been chosen as the bars and discs provider of choice for several of the High Performance Training centers around the base at Fort Liberty.

Fort Liberty is a military base of the United States Army and is the largest military installation in the world (by population) with more than 50,000 active duty personnel. They are home to the XVIII Airborne Corps as well as the United States Army Special Operations Command. The physical demands that are put on the soldiers based at Ft Liberty are great, and Eleiko is proud to have been chosen to for several projects including becoming the bar and disc provider of choice for several of the High Performance Training centers around the base as well as transforming a 10,000 sq ft space into a state of the art training for the 82nd Airborne.

Fort Liberty switched to Eleiko when they had trouble with other bars bending and not being able to support the incredible physical demand and stress put on the equipment. Bars are used non-stop throughout the day with some facilities operating 24 hours a day to support all the people working and living on base. No other bar was able to withstand this constant use until now.

Eleiko had the honour of transforming a 10,000sqft facility into a state-of-the-art training facility for the 82nd Airborne at Fort Liberty’s Ritz Epps Fitness Center. We provided over 27 tons of equipment and weights in a facility that can now comfortably allow over 140 Soldiers to utilize the facility comfortably and work within built-in stations.

This facility was designed to support the Army initiative of “Functional Zones” where we’ve coupled layout solutions with programing to better prepare and set up military facilities to maximize the utilization of space and equipment as well as soldier performance, which allows them to safely accommodate the physical training of a larger number of soldiers.
