The JCC is a wonderful community institution. I love the gym, the heated pool, and the many activities that take place there. The pool offers water exercises, and once one has taken a few classes, one can do the exercices on one's own on the days the classes are not offered. The health club is warm and inviting, and always has a daily copy of the local newspaper.
In short, the JCC is a place where everybody knows your name, and is an asset to the community.
