I'm a big fan of the JCC--the facility is great, the crowd is vibrant and diverse, there's great…read moreprograms, and the staff is smart and genuinely helpful. So why only four stars? I joined to swim, and the pool itself is excellent. The problem is what happens right before people get in: no one showers. I've seen people go straight from the basketball court, still schvitzing, into the jacuzzi (ew!). I've even seen lifeguards hop in without rinsing off. When even the referees aren't following the rules, as stated on the sign there, it's not a great sign. All this isn't exactly appetizing. I've lived abroad and traveled quite a bit, and there's a cultural aspect to this. In France, skipping the pre-swim shower is unthinkable. In Iceland, someone actually supervises your scrub-down before you're allowed into the hot pots. In Mexico City, where I swim in a private gym akin to the JCC, it's definitely enforced. In Japan--forget about it. I've raised this three times with Steve Miller, the director of health and wellness. His view is that they add enough chlorine to kill the germs and that people should know better, but there's no real way to enforce it--lifeguards need to watch the pool, not police showering. (Though they do other distracted things like testing the water.) His proposed solution has been new signage--but who knows when? And I'm skeptical a sign will succeed where social norms have failed. It comes down to education. Most people in the pool where caps, for instance. Why? That's what they were told. So, why not tell them to shower? It's simply a matter of priorities, which this doesn't seem to be. Maybe I'm the only one who cares--based on the evidence, that might be true. But for a place that does so many things right, this one issue, for me, is hard to ignore.

I am not a runner at all and probably spent more time walking than running. But the class was so positive and to be honest, everyone was so focused on themselves that they didn't care what I was doing. I have to make sure I'm staying safe too and won't injure myself. I enjoyed the class so much that when I came back to the city, I started taking classes once a week at a location near my job. I feel so energized after every class and my cardio is definitely improving.

It's not a gym you join and go work out, it's a personal training playground. A myriad of trainers set you up to meet your personal goals. I've not tried any but have been approached by some to test drive a session. Right now I'm there for the row. In a separate room Row45 has two rows of rowers for group rowing . It's a workout for those of us who avoid high impact and want flexibility and strength training. There are those who are naturally strong and those that are naturally fast and those that are naturally flexible. This work out gives you what you need to level up. Beth is awesome at coaching you into perfect form. I love her energy. Kelly has been a collegiate rower so you feel you are part of a team. She has a fresh approach. Both have been my go to "coaches" in my journey up stream. There are two locations tI've been to and prefer the room at their Jericho studio.
