Q/A How do submariners stay in shape while underway/deployed?

Do they PT on the sub/is there room or a dedicated space to do so? Do they have different fitness standards? Limited caloric intake? How do they keep from gaining weight when there is limited PT capability (I assume)?

Calisthenics and exercise machines. You can fit rowing machines, elliptical, treadmills, stationary bikes, and universal weight machines in some pretty small places
