According to current statistics, the bottom 25 percent of the leaner and lose weight,” Mustermann said. “Resistance training
Army has issues meeting required standards or is borderline to
meeting them.
Fortunately, the personnel who make up the Fort Irwin Army
Wellness Center teams are highly trained, motivated profession-
als, who can impact Soldier readiness, improve health and help
servicemembers to meet – and exceed – those same standards.
The mission focus of the Army Wellness Center, co-located
in the Resiliency Center, is first and foremost to increase the
readiness of local servicemembers and work to improve the
health of the Total Army Family – Soldiers, family members
and Department of the Army civilians.
“We get a lot of inquiries from Soldiers who recently become
more active, who want to do well on their PT tests, or want to
improve their overall health,” said AWC Project Lead Andrew
Munsterman. “Our staff provides answers and solutions. Our
comprehensive and state of the art fitness assessments includes
detailed health risk evaluations, blood pressure, resting heart
rate, body composition, VO2 (oxygen consumption) max, and
strength and flexibility testing.”
Mustermann added the best part is that AWC services are
free.
“These same tests would cost thousands in the private sec-
tor,” Mustermann said.

The AWC is in a unique position to leverage all of the ben- Fort Irwin Army Wellness Center Project Lead Andrew
efits the Resiliency Center offers in “The Box” CrossFit gym. Munsterman (right) conducts a fitness assessment with a
Soldier at the AWC here, March 19.
“A lot of people think that cardio is the only way to go to get
helps to burn more calories, lose fat, increase bone density and
lower risk factors for disease, and increasing flexibility helps you
improve your range of motion, posture and balance.”
“The Army is moving from a system of health care that treats
illness to one that focuses on prevention and wellness,” said Col.
Jason Wieman, commander Weed Army Community Hospital.
“The Army Performance Triad is proving to be an important
key in making that move successful.”
The Performance Triad, according to Army Medicine, seeks
to create a system of behaviors that will support Soldier perfor-
mance and overall unit readiness and effect a lifestyle of healthy
behaviors not just for Soldiers, but their families as well.
“It’s about encouraging and promoting Soldier readiness
through a more active, healthy and fulfilling lifestyle where
health and fitness occur – how we balance sleep with work,
how active we are, and what foods we eat,” Wieman said. “The
AWCs make that easier for the Soldier.”
The AWC is scheduled to incorporate phase two of the
Army’s Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program beginning May
1, offering Soldiers more tools to stay ready and resilient. The
AWC is located in building 127 on Inner Loop Road and First
Street; hours are 7:30 a.m. to noon and 1-4 p.m., Monday -
Friday. Call 380-7373 to make an appointment.
