I think it was unwise to not cancel the January 20 performance of Courderoy. This play is for preschoolers. The weather was projected to have a -20 degree wind chill. It is unrealistic to take small children out on a day with such poor weather. Every recommendation on the news said to only drive if completely necessary.
During this pandemic, I'm writing reviews for the businesses that have been essential to our family lately. Before the lock down, this was the go-to place for my family on the weekends. They have a huge family pool, an outdoor spray park pool, and an Olympic lap pool, a two-story gym with top of the line equipment to meet every need, lots of play areas for children, fun classes, a cafe, a theater and much, much more. Everyone of all faith and walks of life are welcome there and it is just a great place to go overall. Definitely check them out once they re-open!
I took a class on self-defense and how to remove a gun from an attackers hand. It was truly one of the best classes! Along with the self defense class, I took a class on Russian K-Bell workouts and it was great. One of the best gyms in the world and I have been to a lot of gyms.
It is with sincere pleasure I endorse JCC of Rochester, NY as THE best lo cation and staff service. I am a happier person since I actively participate in courses such as NIA and yoga. The pool is next!
Thank you all for making this possible; I am writing this at the Memorial place in the middle of JCC!
Great place staff friendly people are nice have plenty of programs for all ages. My kids love this place, while I workout there in the babysitting room playing then we hit the pool afterwards.
The weight room is awesome, the staff is fairly helpful with a few really great standouts, and the facilities are kept clean and in amazing shape.
Very welcoming. Great staff and great time. Beautiful !
Amazing facilities! We went to a kid birthday party and the staff was great. BIG heated family pools, toddler pool area, outdoor splash area, family changing rooms, pool noodles, balls, flippers, water tables, and a separate pool for diving and laps, amazing!
The only thing I didn't like was the gym had many under inflated basketballs with cracks and splits that didn't bounce well. But a very small thing compared to everything else.
Be cautious, they continue charge your credit card after cancellation of membership forever
My family and I have been members here for a few months now and have had nothing but positive experiences each visit. All the staff are all extremely friendly, warm and super helpful. Even the other members are super friendly and welcoming. It really feels like you've become part of the family from the first visit.
New pool is the best thing ever happened in Rochester! Group exercise room (aka dance studio) is very small, classes fill up so quickly. Yoga rooms have no mirrors so you cannot check your posture. Yoga teachers are great. Cafe is nice but pricey. Membership is way too expensive.
Can t ask for more then this!Nice facility with lot of activities for Kids and adults.Very friendly staff!!
I have been at the JCC almost 17 years, my grandkids love it, it just get better and better, It has the state of the art workout machines, and the great customer service, it has something for every age and the birthday parties are outstanding, the staff go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. I have developed a lasting bond with some of the members and staff.
This gym is very nice. There is a large area that has a large variety of cardio equipment, and a whole other area with resustance training equipment. If you're interested in TRX, they have a lot of equipment available for that as well. Group fitness classes that are free for members are varied--from zumba to kettle bell to senior-specific classes--and are taught with a great deal of expertise. Beyond that, this place feels like a true community. Sometimes it seems people end up talking there more than working out :p
GREAT place!!! Update: we went for swim lessons and it was magical!!! The instructors here and above and beyond the other places we tried. My little one had an amazing experience!!! And a heated pool with zero entry made a big difference!!
Great place, people and the staff is super friendly!
Absolutely gorgeous and well thought out. We all can nick pick but why when in the big picture we have something to be genuinely proud of.
Thanks to everyone that spent so much of there time on this project.
I really love this place for my workouts. Good place for whole family members.Price is very reasonable with the amenities they have inside . Atmosphere is awesome and staff is very supportive. Would definitely recommend this for anyone living in and around.
I go to use the gym, which is just stellar! There's very little they could possibly do to improve it. Highly recommend!
Love this place. They are very welcoming and my whole family has something to do.
New Fitness Center is awesome.
New pool looks good for small children but not deep enough for water classes
Members have to pay extra fee for Advanced Hydro rider class . Very upsetting . Membership is high enough to begin with.
The JCC is the best bargain for taking fitness classes, yoga, swimming in 3 "state-of-the-art" pools, a nice track, Pre-Cor fitness machines, an abundance of treadmills and stair steppers, stationery bikes, weight rooms, a big gymnasium with basketball & pickleball, plus racquetball courts. Check out Boulder Coffee & snack shop offering healthy foods and delicious smoothies, and it is the #1 diverse and friendliest fitness center in Rochester! There is "Silver Sneakers" at age 65+ offered and your health insurance can help make it affordable. Everyone belongs here! As of October 1st, 2019 there is "J My Way" offering new rates that are still affordable! JCC Centerstage & TYKES kids theater is the best theater in Rochester. The Jewish Film Festival & Jewish Book Festival is very popular & educational. There is a few tables for mah jongg players & people can play piano in the front lobby. Check out the JCC to meet all your fitness and social needs! Nothing compares to the JCC!
So happy there is a place in town that adds so much to the community and is an amazing place to work out and take fitness classes. Body pump morning classes are a must!!!!
I was a member for 3 months at $99.00. I never learned anything. I worked cardio equipment which is great state of the art but the help there? Non-informative, snobby, and not willing to help except for a nice gentleman named Ken. If it wasn't for Ken, I would have never learned anything from my workouts. After my membership was over, I got a bill for $258.00 for the next 3 months. Are they insane? I think just because they are renovating the place, I should pay for it?
I left and went to Planet Fitness. It took some getting used to but it's worth the price
