Oshman Family JCC

★★Laura Schuster

The weight room is super small and claustrophobic. The cardio equipment is also in the same room which considering the vast size of this building (the lobby alone is almost as big as the weight room) they could manage these spaces better. AND, if you get frustrated by members sitting on benches and machines scrolling and/or talking on their phones this place is not for you. One of them main reasons I cancelled my membership. No enforcement of the rules. Locker rooms are small and members also take up space sitting on benches using their phones. Huge privacy violation. All I wanted to do was swim and use the gym but it was not an enjoyable experience.

Gluttonous, a lack of knowledge, and terrible customer service are the words I would use to describe the people running this place. I have been a member for nearly 10 years, and in the past year this place has precipitously declined in quality while prices have increased in ways that feel unjustified and quietly imposed. When I reactivated my membership, I was explicitly promised that my original contract would be honored and that my monthly rate would remain steady. Instead, they raised the fee without transparency or a clear explanation, hoping long-term members would not notice. For a gym now charging roughly $130 a month, this bait and switch is indefensible. Basic equipment that even mid tier gyms provide is inexplicably missing. There is no hip abductor machine. Management claimed a study indicates it leads to knee issues, which is scientifically illiterate. Modern medical consensus actually shows that hip abductor strength is vital for knee health. To hear fitness professionals peddle the exact opposite information is alarming. The hours are wildly inconsistent, making it difficult to maintain any serious training routine. Attempting to resolve these issues through member services only underscored how far standards have fallen. Calls went unanswered, and basic billing questions were met with deflection. When I finally reached a representative named Tavanisha, her conduct was purely obstructive. She harassed me with calls during work hours and sent a flood of spam emails. A malfunctioning chatbot from 2010 would be more logical, helpful, and dignified than she was. I deeply regret recommending this place to friends and family over the years. Save your money and your patience. Go to City Sports for $30 a month, or join Equinox where the pricing, equipment, and professionalism actually align with reality

Overall, I like this gym to an extent but highly reconsidering given the new price increase. It has “premium” tier pricing which means the gym isnt overly crowded during peak hours and it is relatively clean at all times I would say 205 per month is too much and they will price out this age group. Per these google reviews, the price increase is going to be the final straw where membership in their 30-64 group will drop in 2026 If you’re in the 30-64 bucket, you might want to consider joining someone’s Bay Club membership for the same price The price I’m paying - I’m disappointed when the gym doesnt open late or closes early for JCC events. Tier Pricing: 13-19: 130 per month 20-29: 148 per month 30-64: 205 per month 65+ 160 per month

I have gone here for many years and seen a steady decline in the offerings. I come for good hours, good gym and weight room, to steam, to charge my car and for community. Only community remains strong. Hours on weekdays - once closed at 11pm now 9pm Steam room - closed and delayed for weeks after promised opening Gym - closed for 1.5 weeks when the resurfacing has always taken 3 days in prior years. Charging stations - down for months with new chargers promised but delayed. Going on 6 months now with now chargers Rates just increased as well. It feels like paying more for much, much less.

I’ve been a regular member and normally enjoy the facility, but the recent changes have been really frustrating. The steam and sauna renovation ran two weeks late, prices were increased, and the basketball court was closed—all within a short period of time. I understand renovations happen, but raising prices while removing access to multiple amenities feels unfair. Better communication and consideration for members would go a long way. I hope management takes feedback seriously and improves how these situations are handled.
