A Danger Room works on the spikes constantly being activated, and thusly repeatedly stabbing up and down to make the dwarves dodge/deflect/block them. Either connect your spike(s?) to a repeater or set the lever to be pulled on repeat, thusly putting some idle dwarf to work.

Also, instead of stationing your military, try building an armor or weapon stand and creating a barracks from it, including the space the spike(s) are in, and set it to be a training area for the dwarves.
