★★★★★Ogechukwu WilliamsVery comprehensive center. Has a nice gym, a daycare/early childhood development center, and after school care. Large playgrounds and outdoors pool.
★★★★★Antonio Garnhamthe JCC has been a lifesaver for me as a grad student. I have been coming to use the gym for a bit over a year now and I’m really happy with the center, staff and equipment. Front desk staff is friendly and welcoming, it is always nice to get greeted by them and having a laugh by reading the whiteboard with funny messages before going for a workout! While the JCC has a lot of things to use such as pickle ball courts, classes and pool I have mostly been using the Cardio Equipment and Weight area. The machines were renovated shortly after I joined and they are really nice! (you can even switch the treadmills to metric, which is really nice for me). I did like the old rowing machines better (Concept) as opposed to the newer Peloton ones. But they are great still, just a personal preference. If you wanna get started to be more active I feel this is a very welcoming environment, not only that but as you progress there is lots of equipment to keep yourself challenged and engaged! Everything is clean and the crowd has great vibes! I really cannot recommend this place enough to be honest; from great staff, good equipment and a very pleasant experience that makes those days you only wanna stay in bed and skip the gym not an option! Keep up the good work :)

★★Nykr67AWFUL experience. I joined a few months ago, and the women/members were the most unfriendly people that I've ever met!! In fact, I encountered this very nasty, arrogant, old lady in the pool; I had asked a question about the class that was about to start and was really taken aback by her reply and attitude, so I left the pool!! IN ADDITION, I am moving out of the area, so I canceled my membership on the first day of the month because of a prior commitment the day before. I've reached out to the Manager TWICE to get a credit and have been ignored. There's absolutely no reason why I should have to pay for a full month when I returned the key fob and never returned!!!! Overall - a VERY FRUSTRATING AND UNPLEASANT experience. UPDATE; A very kind Mgr reached out and I was credited, but I have no desire to ever return.
