Although the facilities as well as everything else are adequate the CEO, Mr. Josh Bender, is an autocrat wannabe who does not care about members, especially seniors. He has a very thin skin and is not open to suggestions or comments. He does not believe in freedom of speech. He terminated the memberships of many people who dared to speak up, including me after having been a member for more than 20 years. He did that without a warning or having the decency or courtesy to speak to me before terminating my membership. He is a disgrace as a CEO and as a Jew. After Mr. Bender disgracefully terminated my JCC membership I sent certified, return receipt letters to the Chairman of the Board of Directors as well as the incoming Chairman telling them about the disrespectful, disgraceful way I was treated by Mr. Bender, asking to speak to them about Mr. Bender's behavior. Apparently they don't care how members feel either since they did not have the decency to get back to me. I was going to put the JCC in my will because I enjoyed my 20+ years there so much but not now. I recommend going elsewhere to exercise, especially if you are a senior. Go where you will be treated with respect and dignity and where freedom of speech is appreciated, not met with you having your membership terminated without warning.

A great facility! I actually recommended the JCC to three others in my community this past Fall; all signed up and all have told me how happy they are to be there. An excellent outdoor pool that stays open and heated to about 80 F all winter. Very friendly; very down to Earth.

Well equipped with trainers who know how and when to modify training regimes to fit the needs of the client, whether young and fit, or old and very needy, as well as everyone in between.
