Member Testimonials
Wonderful instructors! Great supportive atmosphere.
I enjoy the workout classes . I think that the instructors are purposeful in their classes . They push participation but also are careful about preventing injury .
The JCC is a very warm and welcoming place - everyone is kind and helpful.
I love the indoor and the outdoor pools!
Thank you.
The facility and staff are great.
I am enjoying walking in the pool
It's facilities, it's pleasant work force, and it's convenient location to my home.
I have belonged to the JCC for a long time and I find myself liking more each time I am there. Everyone is so welcoming. It’s my happy place!
I only use the pool and the locker room. It is comfortable and attractive but not overly luxurious, which I do not need. The jacuzzi and two saunas are great. It has flexible hours (except the after 3PM limitation, which I very much dislike but as a retired person I was able to adapt).
The staff are friendly and courteous, the newly renovate3d lobby is very attractive.
In the past I used to take various yoga classes and liked them, especially the wide range of choices of instructors and times.
What's there not to like?
People that I have gotten to know and the feeling of belonging.
Gym that feels like home
I would like the lobby to have a second floor.
The facility is beautiful, there are many programs, classes, types of equipment, staff are great.
Pleasant and helpful staff, great facility and many types of classes.
A rich roster of age-approptiate offerings for seniors. Jill Meyer's "Forever Fit" classes are extraordinary (as is she)!
Everything is really great. My only suggestion is to install more bike racks since the one you have is sometimes full.

When I leave, feeling refreshed and healthy!
I love the variety of activities that I can engage in at the JCC - weightlifting, pickleball, jogging, swimming, Spin. . . and community activities.
Great facilities—pool, gym, class area, and sauna. Amazing community—highly professional trainers for a variety of classes, with a super friendly, supportive, and fun atmosphere.
The physical facility is now on par with the most upscale gyms in Newton. Combine that with the clear vision and dedication towards building a strong Jewish community at all ages, and you've got my loyalty for B"H another thirty years.

Pickleball!
Pilates with Lynn Lieberman.
Renovation looks great!
The facilities have many different programs and equipment for a wide variety of age groups, and the staff and instructors are pleasant and helpful. There is a noticeable concern for safety and security. The recent upgrades are lovely. The building is clean.
I feel like there are so few places that are welcoming and helpful to parents of young children so I am so glad the JCC is there. From the indoor playspaces, babysitting and classes, there is so much to do with my infant and toddler. My whole family also loves to drop in to play basketball and I’m not sure what I would do without the indoor track. We haven’t been members too long, so I look forward to increasing all that we can do at the JCC.
Nice surroundings and generally good equipment (although the lack of connectivity with TV etc. on the equipment is a real headache. Everyone has to bring their own device. Locker rooms are nice and well-equipped.
I mostly use the JCC as my gym, and it's a terrific gym. But I see that it offers so much more. It feels good to be at the JCC.
Great facilities, great staff!
The exercise area is clean and bright, though the cycle loft is quite noisy. I would appreciate one or two more machines which the gym that I belonged to in North Carolina had. I mentioned this to someone after the new space was opened several years ago and the request never went anywhere.
The jacuzzi in the women's area is too small!
Everyone and everything is awesome at the J!!!
Clean friendly and has enough equipment available so you aren’t ever waiting. Very capable pt specialists. Looking forward to the end of construction however.
JCC is part of our community, and it is great to connect with other families there. And the fitness center is excellent, between the equipment, cleanliness and most importantly, the fantastic trainers. Thank you!
