House Passes Bill to Open its Gym to all Federal Employees

(The Hill)

...a resolution to grant all federal employees, including members of the military, access to the House exercise facility also passed the House unanimously.

The gym, open for a little more than two years, is in the southwest corner of the Rayburn building.

Only House staff members are currently allowed to use its equipment.

The resolution put forward by Brady would grant gym access to active military members who are working in the House’s military liaison office.

“At a time when members of our military are being asked to risk their lives in the service of their country, we should ensure that they are offered every possible courtesy and convenience,” Brady said.
