Outstanding Recreational Center, Theater, Cultural Center and more โœก๏ธAt age 70 I have started to work out vigorously again, after years of not going to a gym. My life has changed due to the results of once again making my health and fitness a priority! Now my routine embraces JCC as part of my active disciplined lifestyle! I love the JCC and grateful my Medicare Fit-On Health benefit supports the membership. Feeling Blessed!

The pool and gym are really nice. The showers are gross and frequently cold or in need of repair. The dance instructors, specifically Carlos, Crisanta and Doris are absolutely phenomenal and super fun. Unfortunately, the JCC recently laid off multiple staff members who had been there for years in favor of having younger employees absorb responsibilities (probably to save the JCC a buck or two while paying the newer employees less). I know many of the employees and they are all extremely hard working. Iโ€™m on the fence about cancelling my membership because itโ€™s a hard pill to swallow to go to a facility for their pool, gym and classes and watch these employees who run these departments get shit on. The ymca might be a better place to spend your money.

I just recently became a member of the JCC and have been extremely pleased with my experience so far. The staff from top to bottom have been fantastic. Everyone is pleasant and welcoming which makes for a great environment to improve your physical and mental health.

The facilities are top notch and extremely clean. The JCC has every type of equipment you can think of for weightlifting and cardio. The pools are spacious and great for laps or just relaxing in via the family pool.

The spa services are wonderful. The spa locker room is clean and stocked with everything you need to refresh before or after your workouts. If you join the spa plan, you get a private locker that comes with a mesh bag that you put your dirty gym/swim clothes in. Within 24/48 hours anything you put in the bag and leave in the dedicated hamper will be cleaned and waiting for you in your locker for your next visit! I have never been to a gym that does that but now Iโ€™m not sure I could go without it! The locker room has a private whirlpool, dry sauna and steam room for you to use. Then the sinks have complimentary single use razors, shaving cream, after shave, mouth wash and lotion for you to use. Itโ€™s awesome. Plus there is a seating area with recliners, a flat screen tv and coffee to further unwind in. Itโ€™s a total package Iโ€™ve never experienced in any other fitness center.

All in all this is by far the best fitness facility I have been a member of and I look forward to my workouts now because of everything the JCC offers.

Canโ€™t go wrong here.

The JCC is the best bargain for taking fitness classes, yoga, swimming laps, lessons and aqua classes in the Olympic size pool. There's a nice indoor 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 & outdoor tennis courts. Check out Fox's Deli offering bagels & delicious sandwiches to go. The JCC 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. Check out the JCC to meet all your fitness and social needs! Nothing compares to the JCC!

The place is great and the people are fantastic. The staff members are friendly and the fellow gym-goers make it a really welcoming environment. However, there's a bit of a snag when it comes to their operating hours. They shut down at 4 PM for a good chunk of the week, which is quite early, especially for folks with 9-5 jobs.

I totally get that they close early on Fridays for religious observances, and I respect that. But having the same early closing time on Saturdays and Sundays can be a bit of a bummer. It'd be awesome if they could reconsider and extend the hours a bit more on the weekend. That way, everyone, including us with the regular daytime commitments, can also enjoy a good workout in this nice gym.

Place and staffโ€™s are not bad! But there is one lady at night shift around 7pm she Doesnโ€™t even know how to talk! To someone Iโ€™m a muslim when she see my first name she didnโ€™t even allow me go in she made excuses saying alot stuff she is racist its not only me alot of my friends told me when she is there she give bad looks to black people and all! Our request is to remove that staff or else we gonna stop coming to jcc and we gonna have a group of people and we not gonna let someone come up to us being racist! No Racism!!!

It is a beautiful place to come with your family. I just joined free of charge until January but I just came a couple of times. Lucky that I am not paying now because if I pay I would feel guilty that I would waste my money. Gym, squash, running path, basketball court, swimming pool and many other things. I definitely recommend this if you have enough energy to spend after long working...

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
