The Mandel JCC is easily the nicest, most welcoming, and most lavishly equipped gym to which I have ever belonged. Since joining (about 9 months ago) I find that I look forward to my semi-weekly workouts more than usual! I look forward to remaining a member here for as long as I live on the East Side!
I really enjoy the friendly, welcoming environment of the JCC, which is far above and beyond most gyms in my experience.
The staff also keeps the facilities absolutely spotless and clean - a fundamental asset for a fitness center!
The JCC also offers some niceties that many gyms do not: your membership includes access to the pool, sauna, steam room, and whirlpool, which I try to make time for as often as possible. It's a real added value!
Though I am not much one for group fitness classes, they are abundant here. If it is your thing, you'll be well covered!
