Member Testimonials
I like the swimming pool. It is a good way to exercise in the cold months.
The newly, and not-so-newly, completed renovations have given the JCC a warmer, brighter, and more inviting environment. I like the variety of workout classes and teachers, the weight room and cardio center, the fact that there's a track and pool also available. I like being part of community, not just a health club.
Beautiful facility and equipment, friendly environment, variety of classes.
The pool, the exercise room, Jiwen’s balance and injury protection classes, Jiwen as personal trainer
The physical plant, the variety of group exercise classes, how friendly and helpful everyone is, the opportunities to participate (lectures, classes, etc)
Health club
I like that is clean.
I wish the pool area was brighter. I do the water zumba and it’s so dark at the pool.
Also I continue to request another day of water zumba/aerobics.
I spend a lot of time in Richmond VA and they offer it 4 days a week which is great.
I like the proximity to where I live.
I like that there are so many classes offerings.
I like the spaciousness of the gym facilities.
I like the mix of ages - seeing children attending the various programs.
i like the sense of community.
Renovation of the facilities. Courtesy of all people working there. Programming. In one freeze welcoming environment.
I gym,pj library activities for the grandkids
I use the JCC for the gym and it is adequate for me. The people, trainers and other staff are very nice. It feels like family.
My only complaint about the JCC is the ugly "sculpture" of a rib cage in front of the main entrance. Please remove it and replace it with something aesthetic, like a tree.
I guess that someone with means donated it to the JCC and the JCC administration does not want to insult a financial backer. Nevertheless, the rib cage is ugly and detracts from the JCC's building and grounds.
I take Table Tennis lessons with Lev Massarsky. He is unbelievably patient and I have progressed to a level of playing that I would never have dreamed possible. He is kind, thoughtful, patient beyond belief, and, above all, he really understands table tennis and is able to make me understand. I love the community of table tennis that he has created as well.
I also want to commend the fine work of Annie Rotman. Without her patience and attention to scheduling detail, the table tennis program would be impossible, so a particular thanks goes to her. She is awesome.

The J is a bright, clean welcoming place that offers excellent physical well-being classes for people at all level and stages of life. There are also opportunities to socialize and to learn. It is a good place for families with children as well as for single people of all ages, to keep healthy and keep growing.
