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!\n\nI really enjoy the friendly, welcoming environment of the JCC, which is far above and beyond most gyms in my experience. \n\nThe staff also keeps the facilities absolutely spotless and clean - a fundamental asset for a fitness center!\n\nThe 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!\n\nThough I am not much one for group fitness classes, they are abundant here. If it is your thing, you'll be well covered!"^^ . "5"^^ . "5"^^ . "0"^^ . . . "0"^^ .
