The HITT Program occupies a permanent indoor presence on the joint base with the opening of the HITT Center in the Cpl Terry L. Smith Gymnasium. HITT centers are unlike any other fitness facilities in that they allow for optimal performance enhancement, combat readiness, and physical resiliency. The center, “Where the warrior and the athlete become one,” is open only to active duty personnel and Marine reservists.

The USMC HITT program is a comprehensive combat-specific strength and conditioning program that is essential to a Marine’s physical development, combat readiness and resiliency. Program emphasis is on key components with relation to superior speed, power, strength, flexibility, endurance, and overall combat readiness while reducing the likelihood of injury and ensuring that all Marines are physically prepared for real-time combat/tactical situations while in theater.
