Kaplen JCC on the Palisades Reviews

Perfect place for the family. Fairly priced, updated, clean, and amazing programs for the kids. Welcoming to everyone; a special place.

Fantastic facilities! Excellent programming. Something for every age. All are welcome!

I'm not Jewish and the staff and members are very friendly and nice and welcoming. There's a huge group of Christians and people from other religions who are members. They have an indoor saline pool, which is clean with less chemicals. This is the only indoor pool I have ever been to that doesn't irritate my skin. They offer 1:1 and group swim lessons and also beautiful outdoor pool. There's a year round swim team for kids. The summer camps are sleep away or day camps. They have the kids ride these amazing race cars and other activities I don't see in other day camps. I would prefer this sleep away camp over a public one because it seems like the kids at this camp are well behaved.

Admittedly I am writing this as an employee, but I love the facilities and programs offered here. The senior and special services departments are always doing great work for their communities, and the athletics facilities are top notch. Admittedly crowded at times, I have still success getting workouts in. The facility obviously functions around a Jewish calendar / schedule, but even as a flakey-Catholic I quickly picked up on it.

Lovely community and beautiful space.

Been going here for over thirty years. Great gym staff. Plenty of very knowledgeable trainers. Place is very clean. Pool is spotless. It's expensive, but you certainly get what you pay for. Towels, plenty of equipment. Great hours. The membership fee I pay includes many great programs and services I don't use. At 65 I still can't yet admit that I'm a senior citizen and so I don't take advantage of the many services offered to the elderly. Ouch!

They also have an incredible nursery and kindergarten program. And although I'm very immature for a Senior Citizen, it might look weird if I were to sit and finger-paint with toddlers. lol

But seriously Folks, if you want a fantastic place to swim (indoor and out), great gyms (I lost count), exercise rooms, great restaurant, endless programs and events, then check out the JCC on the Palisades.

Beautiful, expansive building that offers everything from preschool, activities for elders, gym, exercise classes, professional pool, music lessons and many many more.

There are so many things to do here! The options are endless! this is the perfect place to do activities with family or friends. Everyone I've met that workers there has been very friendly and kind. The gym space is clean and there are many cool classes to take. the Zumba instructor is so energetic and positive and the classes are always supportive of each other. Great place!
