I love everything about the JCC, and I want to acknowledge the timely and clear communication regarding building and schedule changes due to the ongoing renovations. The building already looks awesome, and we look forward to the upcoming improvements!
The J is an amazing place to work and be part of a community. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else! I've made incredible friends. Its home away from home! My family lives it also!
I am a Park Heights JCC person. I go to many of the group exercise classes. They are the best!! The instructors are fabulous, knowledgeable, funny, and caring! The facility and equipment are state of the art!
If you never tried the group exercise classes, you should. The energy is uplifting; the people are friendly; and did I mention that the instructors are top notch?! No distractions from trying to exercise at home. No watching the clock on the boring treadmill. You get your workout done and have fun at the same time.
I love the sisterhood of the fitness classes, the expertise of the instructors and the support I have gotten to reaching my personal fitness goals!! I love the way the classes have continued throughout the renovations and how the aesthetic improvements have contributed to my feeling supported and cared for throughout the past few years.
Thanks for your support. Love the jcc!!
Very satisfied by the variety of fitness classes and quality of the instructors.
Not so happy about the length of the renovation and the phasing of the work. Very bad idea to affect both locker rooms at once, given the duration of the work.
I also see some shortcomings on the room finishes. Durability and ease of maintenance should have been a priority.
The group fitness room's walls are peeling, and will not withstand the wear and tear caused by the equipment; they really need wainscotting as protection.
The pool has lots of female swim time. It's very nice to be able to swim in a friendly place. The front desk is always welcoming.
The library lady is awesome. The lady who is in charge of the library is so friendly and knowledgeable about almost every book there! She knows what my family would appreciate and recommends good books for us.
Also, I love that they text updates about the pool so we don't get all ready for the pool to find out that the lifeguard is not the right gender or that it's closed for various reasons.
Thanks!
The jcc is working hard to accommodate separate classes for women and men. They are updating the facility and adding pickle ball which I am very excited about!
The options for exercise. The friendly atmosphere. The brief escape from the daily challenges and tensions, while we take some time to invigorate ourselves.
