I was disappointed to find out that the 6am MWF Bootcamp with Jimi had been canceled (this class was the only reason I had a JCC membership). The JCC did not even give even a week's notice that it would be canceled. Furthermore, the management lied to its membership stating that Jimi was no longer doing the Bootcamps because of "scheduling conflicts". The only scheduling conflict was that he wanted to be there, and they didn't want them there.

When I canceled my membership, I requested to not have to pay for next month's dues because of the circumstances listed above. I was charged today for another 30 days, yet I will never be stepping foot back inside of that Fitness Center.

The JCC Fitness Center is old, boring, and extremely expensive. For a basic membership (no frills locker room, no sauna, no jacuzzi), it's $65 a month. For the Executive Locker Room access, which includes a nicer locker room, sauna, and jacuzzi, the price is $110 per month. It's a rip off.

The management at this establishment is in need of replacing. There is nepotism abound and most, if not all, of the equipment is donated. The gym is advertised as "State if the Art"...really?!?

Don't waste your time or money. This place is a dump.
