I used to belong to this gym, only stopped as we weren't using it enough, which speaks to my own laziness and not any fault of the gym whatsoever.
The facilities are amazing, very top of the line and spotlessly clean. There are options for privacy in the changeroom and in the showers, which I appreciated (shower stalls are used and not a communal space). There is even a machine to wring out your bathing suit after a trip to the pool. The JCC is filled with little niceties like this.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool is a saltwater pool with a very cool children's area, and the temperature of the pool is perfect.
I really like Schmoozer's Deli that is on the campus and right on your way to the gym (perhaps too convenient, it's very hard to resist their delicious carrot cake!). The Deli is a Dairy restaurant, which means they do not carry meat. They are Kosher, and no outside food can be eaten on campus. The quesadillas are especially yummy, but everything there is good in my experience. Even the coffee is decent, which is usually rare for a smaller restaurant that doesn't specialize in coffee.
They have a ton of programs avail from cultural to learning to athletic for all ages. The Berney Theatre is located there, Gray Academy (Jewish private school for K-12), Aleph Bet Daycare, and a library. There is also a Holocaust Memorial and Jewish Child and Family Services are located there, too, the total area being called the Asper Community Campus that contains the JCC.
There is ample free parking, and you can get a parking pass for parking closer to the JCC with your membership.
My only critique is that their inclusion services are not the greatest. My daughter has a disability, and we found the inclusion programs offered were for much older individuals. We attempted swimming lessons for her and it was a disaster, the staff didn't seem to be equipped to deal with a non-neurotypical child. There are private lessons, but we found these to be too expensive. read more
