Close to my home. All of the options and amenities that are available.
I like the variety of classes offered, the courtesy of the members and staff, the summer program for campers, and the lovely pools available.
Love the fitness classes and that there is a coffee bar. Love the sense of community. Love that it is so inter generational with people of all ages
Pricing is reasonable. Love all the class options.
I enjoy all my activities at the J. I am involved in water aerobics, cardio classes, stretching, and yoga. I ALSO take art classes and enjoy the book club.
Great facility, warm and helpful staff, lots and lots of services. We use the heritage center, the athletic center, youth sports, after care, J Camp, pool (indoor and outdoor). Just a great facility with so many opportunities under one (really big) roof.
Great, kid focused outdoor pools. Very fun camps, tennis lessons (that I will sign my kids up for next year probably) and of course the CDC is wonderful.
The whole community. All the options and opportunities
Mostly to remain connected with the Jewish community in Kansas City. But it is also an excellent gym with many amenities, most of which I still have not used (the pools, classes, etc.).
The community. My kids LOVE the teachers and their friends. We are lucky to have the J in Kansas City!
The variety and frequency of fitness classes offered, excellent facility, friendly staff, pool, hours of operation, and infrared sauna.
I love the friendly atmosphere and I use track and both sides of the workout equipment. I usually don't have to wait long if a machine is in use.
I like the programs, especially fitness classes, offered through the Heritage program. My only disappointment is that I have been excluded from my favorite class with Piper Tuesday mornings due to a change in summer scheduling of the rooms available. I was out of town in May when the sign ups for her limited number class took place, so when I returned the first week of June, I was told I would have not be able to attend the class since I was not on the list of people who were allowed to be in the small room that was limited to 13. Piper is the reason I came to the J KC. I took a class from her through JCPRD in the spring and summer of 2024, then followed her to her class at the J KC.
There is such a wide variety of options for any level of fitness. The facility is clean, well staffed, and provides wonderful amenities. The fitness classes and instructors are topnotch. There are ample courts for all manner of ball sports. We love the J!
Excellent facilities, outstanding instructors and helpful staff! Great number of classes every day.
I am able to drop into classes around my inconsistent work schedule
I like the instructors. I value the cleanliness.
