Love this place! Very welcoming and friendly people. Nice campus and new leadership that really care. Very clean fitness center and pool. Best camp and youth programs around. Highly recommend.

This review is the Kids Time program. As a working parent there are only two daycare options, the JCC and MELC. The J is wonderful. I am so glad that MELC ran out of space for us three years ago. The programming is excellent. The staff are friendly and fun. They live my kid and he loves them right back. My kid is safe, engaged and happy. What more could you all for

This is a review for both the daycare and the gym – The daycare has classes divided by age of the child. My kiddo seems happy there and she just started, so maybe that’s all that really matters. However, there are a some pros and a bazillion and one cons… FORTHEDAYCARE: PROS: — You, the parent, can easily drop off the kid and go for a work out. They’re group classes seem to be timed to be just after school starts so it is convenient — Staff seem to be flexible with your needs if within their restricted hours. — Entire JCC is enclosed so at least you know when your child is running outside, there is minimal traffic and no strangers wandering about — Your child’s tuition covers the cost of gym membership for you and spouse CONS: — Lunches are supposed to be nut free AND meat free — Lots of school closures for both christian and jewish days off — Lots of random rules(ex. if your child is wearing a skirt on gym day, forget it. She will be sitting on the sidelines) — Classes are not anywhere close to racially diverse. ATALL. — Restricted hours: for any household with two working adults, you will have to deal with a 9a to 3:30p day care schedule with an «early care» option starting at 8am. This is pretty unbelievable considering the car traffic around here. FORTHEGYM: PROS: — As above, the link with the daycare seems to be the best reason to use this place — Sauna(but it is co-ed) — Several group classes offered CONS: — Everything is outdated even though they apparently just renovated the bathrooms. — Kiddie pool is kind of a joke… it’s just a shallow outdoor pool that is covered with a thin film of dead flies and leaves — No towel service — The place reminds me of a YMCA … from the 1960s. Overall though, I’m still using this place primarily due to location convenience and the ease of working out. I don’t require a lot in a gym other than just needing the machines to work so this is fine enough for me. But just beware of the many many drawbacks that come along with it.

I just cancelled my membership — horrific customer service and terrible facilities. I tried to use the baby pool with my little ones and they close the pool for camp 9 – 3:30 every day in the summer. And even though I am a paying member and both pools were empty due to lunchtime for campers, they wouldn’t let me allow my baby & toddler to use the baby pool for 20 minutes AFTER their front desk clerk told me it was open and I spent 20 minutes getting everyone into swim diapers, required plastic pants and swim trunks. When I pleaded my case, they said that they couldn’t do anything about it. So I did — I took my money elsewhere. They told me it would take 60 days to cancel and I told them that if I got charged for a MINUTE more let alone 60 more days, I would file a complaint with the owner and investigate legal options. I am a reasonable person but I am also logical and if a pool is empty and a member is standing there asking for 20 minutes in the BABYPOOL you oblige. No negotiating — you just oblige.
