I was actually really surprised by how nice the theater was at JCC last night when I saw the production Into the Woods. The play itself was fantastic, I had never been to JCC for anything prior (I had ridden by on the canal path on my bike a lot of times). I wandered around the facility a little during intermission and before the play — this is a really great looking place. The sound system and lighting in the theater was great also. Highly recommended for a great spot to see a show at a very reasonable price.

Everybody is welcome can join and love it. They have the usual machines and weights — fun classes to work out or learn computers cardio help– individual trainers and a warm pool. They teach swimming to all ages. All this plus BABYSITTING while you work out. There’s a good theater and a tasty deli. Good hours and great staff

Wow! I’m from out of town and haven’t seen anything close to the JCC. Wish I could bring it with me!

This gym is great! The machines are clean and classes are very fun!!! I have been going here since I was 8 and love it!!!

Great gym with beautiful facilities. Brand new cardio equipment, spacious weight room, track, basketball courts, and indoor pool. A wide selection of group fitness classes and events. Many programs for children, young and senior adults. Nice staff. There is a coffee shop serving drinks and light food 6 days a week. Geulah’s café serves kosher style lunch food 5 days a week. The Hart theatre always has top notch local productions year round. There are facilities for kids birthday parties, including a «play gym» which reminded me of discovery zone. There are many great offerings at the JCC.

Awesome awesome awesome. It’s a huge place with new equipment (and a lot of it), a pool, a variety of classes, and other great amenities. I love it! It’s a very comfortable atmosphere, and it wonderful for someone like me who is just starting to work out. The staff is also unbelievably friendly. You can’t beat the JCC!
The only thing I can complain about is actually sort of a big deal to me: the hours. They just aren’t very convenient and they don’t stay open very late. Fix that and it’s the perfect gym!

So, this place is OK… lots of older people and no meatheads which is a plus. They also did just get a bunch on new equipment. My biggest problem, though, is that they have horrible hours. Not sure if it is due to the Jewish religion, but they close at 5:30 on Fridays and don’t open on Saturday until noon. Extremely frustrating.
My daughter’s jacket was stolen from the sitter service room. They had a list of the family’s that were in the room at the same time my daughter was. The woman in charge refused to put up a sign I wrote about the jacket, and would not return my phone calls. Also, they advertised the sitter service as being free, and I did not pay for many months. One day, they decided they were going to charge me because I had the single membership, not a family membership. I am a single mom and my daughter is 3. They already charge $ 63/​mo, and now they want to tack on an additional $ 7 per visit for sitter service.
Don’t waste your money here. Their customer service is a joke. Planet Fitness is $ 10/month…money better spent with more equipment available.

Best gym deal in the Rochester and none of the high pressure sign up business.

here’s to the jcc for years of swimming and art classes, for a great weightroom and nice racquetball courts, and of course for rearing a couple of little indian day-​care attendees and making them think they were jewish…
