A phenomenal organization doing so much for the community and families. The gym is second to none with tons of machines and equipment for all levels. The pool is one of my favorite parts of the jcc. It's a great pool and very well maintained. I highly recommend looking into all that it has to offer. If you have little ones there are many classes and swim lessons and things like that and if you're older there's nice things to do to relax like a nice sauna after a long day in the pool area

I joined recently, and honestly, the experience has been a big adjustment. The number of rules in place here is overwhelming, especially around the pool area. It feels like you can’t walk ten feet without being scolded by the staff for something. I’ve been used to gyms with a more relaxed atmosphere, like BigSky, where I never felt like I was constantly under scrutiny. While I understand the need for some rules, the sheer volume here makes it hard to enjoy the space without feeling like you’re being watched all the time. If you’re used to a more laid-back gym, this might not be the right fit. Will post an update soon.
