Sid Jacobson JCC Reviews

Fantastic community center. Membership required. Check the website for open houses. Has something for everyone in the family from infants to grandparents. Fitness center has swimming pool, indoor track, group exercise classes, basketball leagues and Pilates reformers to name a few.

Great fitness center. Lots of equipment. Weights are always reracked properly .

My son loves everything here. I love the parent workshops. A God send!!

Today i was humilliated infront of a group of my peers by the cruel employees of this establishment. I have been a member here for the greater portion of my existence and today I was turned away for having an expired membership of 20 days. Apparently after 20 days no one recognizes you here, as i was asked repeadetly if I was the person on the profile. I pleaded with them to have sympathy for a day and that i would notify my mother who would have gladly renewed, but they weren t having any of it. The bad morals displayed by this community center today are just one of MANY times they have shown their cold attitudes. My family and I will never be returning as the disrepect I recieved today is unforgivable. The Jcc clearly has no regard for a member of 20 years or a member of 1 day and that to me is not something I d like to be around. Bai

+1: Good people. "Working in" is expected, and "reserving" equipment (with a towel) is not.

+1: Layout is extremely well planned, with no wasted space, but also no over-crowding.

+1: Good community. I've forgotten to lock my locker on a few occasions, but never had anything taken/disturbed. This is very much a community center, and you'll feel good vibes if you bring your own too.

The children's programs are excellent.

The kitchen is clean, and well stocked.

+1: Staff is friendly, experienced, and helpful. Facilities are very clean, and well maintained. If you're doing something dangerous (to yourself or others) you'll get corrective advice (free of charge), but you won't be bullied by power-tripping staff.

-1: The regular hours of operation is often incorrect on their Google maps profile, and getting to their hours on their site (via mobile) isn't so fun.

On several occasions I've witnessed others u-turning in the lot(along with myself), and have been advised to call ahead to double check that they'll be open (only useful if you aren't an early bird).

. The staff are very good and friendly. The facility is amazing

Very nice place, they have a lot activities to choose.

Great place for exercise, swimming, various cultural prograns, and other things. Also, opens early and closes late. New pool and showers are tops. Roadwork in the immediate area that lasted for years is finally over. Only drawback: thefts in the locker rooms. Be sure to bring a lock and always check before you leave because the user population is not trustworthy despite the nominally religious orientation!

Do not join JCC, specifically Sid Jacobson center in LI, as they are refusing to give refunds/credits while being closed due to the CV pandemic. They are extorting donations, meaning they are keeping funds collected while being closed in exchange for a tax donation letter. If find this criminal on top of the fact that 3 NY JCCs have received Millions in SBA loans. This is just another example of a large company putting their thumb down on the avg Joe. If other organizations are also doing this then they are also unethical.

Great place for families and individuals for gym, pool, workout classes, and cultural activities. It has a very welcoming vibe and everyone is very friendly. Found out about this place through my neighbor. I never would ve known about it otherwise. It is very hidden. It s closer than my previous gym so much more convenient to get to. Wish the Friday hours were later but I understand since it s a Jewish center. Great workout classes and instructors. Can t wait to try more of them. Def would recommend.

I was never a gym type of guy.(I used to play team sports). I came here reluctantly because I had had surgery for spinal stenosis and was told I had to walk. It was last December and we had a long, icy, snowy, cold winter. My wife dragged me to the indoor track. What we found was that we belonged to a vibrant community. We try to go to the gym four or five times a week. We worked out with a trainer who ended up saving my wife's life. (She detected my wife's melanoma and thus, spared my wife from needed chemo and radiation). When we need the support of the Cancer Wellness Center, we go. We have met vibrant people and have attended some of the many cultural events this place has to offer. We have brought our grandson to some of the tot events. We feel like we discovered a gem and we hope to remain active members for a long time. Please join us!

Excellent place and fun programs. I even take my service dog here sometimes.
