Fitness & Wellness Testimonials

My husband and I felt we needed to make big changes in our health and fitness routine. I had recently retired and finally had the time in my life to explore more fitness options. We decided to give the JCC a try after having been away for over four years and signed up for the Healthy Start program. After my first meeting with my coach, I set goals and had a clear direction as to what to do to get started again. As the weeks have passed I have found new joy and confidence in my workouts, whether in trying out different group classes or in the gym using the equipment. I love the feeling of being part of the total community here. It makes me smile.

I have been very happy with the Healthy Start program. For me, it was just the right amount of “push” (not too little or too much) to get me motivated. I actually enjoy going there and doing my routine, which has incrementally increased. I feel strong and actually see arm muscles. My endurance has also greatly improved. I think seeing these results alone is a significant motivator for me, both physically and mentally. I also appreciate the staff providing a clean, comfortable environment.
I have been trying out different equipment and interval training. One of my favorites is stretching it all out with the TRX. It’s a good relaxing ending for me.
Well, you have a very happy satisfied customer.  I feel I am going strong and have no intentions of stopping.

It’s good to hear from you! Yes, our conversation was very motivating. I have been to JCC multiple times after we spoke. I’m still trying to come every other day. It’s been a bit difficult with the holiday season but I’m doing my best. I’m coming today at 6pm to meet with the personal trainer and I’m looking forward to it!

My husband and I have been JCC members for over a year now and have enjoyed swimming at your beautiful indoor pools during the cooler seasons.  I recently availed myself of the free orientation at the Fitness Center and worked with one of your personal trainers, Marianna. Tina, at reception, accommodated my appointment request expeditiously. I was so very impressed with the quality of the equipment and the cleanliness of the Center.  Marianna took time with me, listened to my health issues/concerns and built a program that I believe I can stick to in order to achieve my goals.  I just wanted to let you know how very pleased I am with the orientation session, Marianna, and the Center.
