I joined the J in August when I moved to Birmingham. It's so close to my home, which makes making…read moreit to the gym in the morning much more doable. The front desk staff are always so friendly - even early in the morning. I have enjoyed a variety of classes, such as spinning, body pump, grit, body flow, etc. The fitness instructors are encouraging and make the classes fun. I have met some really great people through the group exercise classes. The cardio equipment is a bit older, but there are plenty of machines. I almost never have a problem finding an open machine. While I haven't been a member through the summer yet, I am already looking forward to getting to spend time poolside in the summer. The cardio equipment room has a great view of the pool and it's making me excited for summer! For anyone considering joining or wanting more information, the J gives a free week pass. Utilizing one of these passes is how I first decided to join the J myself. My only complaint is the frequency of closures during Jewish holidays, but the staff does a good job of putting out reminders. On those days I just find home exercise videos or get outside for a run.

I've been hearing great things about the JCC for years now, but have never had the chance to visit…read moreuntil yesterday. I live less than 1 minute away, so it was about time I showed up! A friend gave me a free week pass and I decided to try out their RPM spin class with her. I am SO glad I went! Upon walking in we were greeted at the front door by a security guard smiling then the desk by two workers who checked us in. The building needs some updates, but I believe that is already in the works. After checking in, we walked up some stairs and I noticed an enclosed basketball court with a track held above for walkers while other folks can play ball below. We walked over to the gym to grab some water and I noticed several useful equipment and out the window a pool area. Can't wait to try that out! The gym wasn't packed but it wasn't vacant either - it had the perfect amount of people there. We then headed to the cycle room and to my surprise had several stationary bikes in there. More bikes than what you would see in a YMCA. There were two instructors present - one was training while the other taught the majority of the class. By the time class started, there were about 10 people total in the studio. The tunes were upbeat and fun which really helped guide me through the intense workout. You can tell major calories were burned in the 50 minute class. I'm looking forward to experiencing more classes and potentially becoming a member of the LJCC!
