Great pool
I try to attend every Sat morning for my routine at the pool and gym, it is a life saver. I also just feel good about being a member of the JCC community, and am a strong believer in bringing the local Jewish community together. Thank you for what you do.
I love the fitness classes that are available.
I love everything about this place. The people who work here are amazing, my fellow members are varied, interesting and friendly. There are numerous classes available with knowledgeable and engaging instructors. There are so many facilities worth mentioning. The pools, both indoor and outdoors during the summer months, the office space available and the many clubs and events…..the list goes on.
The new renovation has certainly been worth the minor inconveniences over recent times.
I love seeing the campers in the summer months, as well as the preschoolers who waddle through the building. Their presence gives me renewed confidence, hope and excitement about the next generations.
I’m so proud to be a part of this community.
Being part of the Newton JCC community since the beginning; having my kids go to the pre-school and now having my grandchildren go there!
The JCC has learned to employ people who greet members with a smile and an overall welcoming attitude. This improvement reflects lessons from past years, when we chose to discontinue our membership in part due to staff, particularly at the entrance, who were rude and disrespectful. We are happy we gave the JCC a second try. We are really enjoying it. I am taking a Barre Fusion class with Tracy. She is an amazing instructor!!
I recommend the JCC Newton for aquatics, health and wellness classes, diverse and wonderful
new members of all ages, ethnicities and gender. ALWAYS friendly, caring, helpful Staff!!! Spacious NEW private and public area to meet, read and share ideas with friends: new and old.
My late father was a JCC Exec Director in the East and Midwest for 35+ years ,and would be excited and delighted to see this incredible, dynamic building with so MANY informative programs, plays and multi-cultural themes. They have tennis, ping pong, basketball, pickle ball and art and creative courses. Visit and you'll want to be part of the fun and energy!

We've enjoyed all our years of membership. It has kept us fit and we love walking in and knowing so many of the staff and interacting with them whether at the front desk, pool, fitness class or all the other staff working hard at improving our JCC experience. It's so welcoming. I tell everyone to join! Don't know where the years have gone; we take pride in belonging since the doors opened. Herb's father was a JCC director. He would love that we're enjoying our membership so much.
