Jewish Community Center

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here since 2009 and it’s super well kept, clean, and they have up to date equipment and a class A gym with great hoops. I love coming here!

Fantastic experience: I am so happy to be a member once again of the JCC. I find the facilities in Baltimore and Owings Mills to be convenient, clean, and offer a large array of options for keeping healthy.

Negative experience: Terrible customer service Staff extremely rude and unprofessional

Fantastic experience: Great workout classes

Fantastic experience: BEST PLACE TO WORK OUT!!! + THE STAFF IS AWESOME! So friendly and warm!!!

Fantastic experience: Love the classes and instructors!

Negative experience: I just left the Owings Mills JCC to explore membership for seniors. It has many great things but lacks so much more, particularly for seniors. The fitness areas look great and expansive. That’s it for me. I belonged to the JCC when my children were young and we took full advantage of camps, programs and other things that were offered in the 1980’s and 1990’s. I am looking for a place to work out, take some workout classes and meet some people. I was hoping there would be social activities for adults such as card games, lectures, book clubs, classes for those who have hobbies or want to learn about creating new hobbies. These types of activities used to be offered in the “old” days. This JCC is good for families but that seems to be the main and only priority. I am so disappointed that this is NOT a center for the community. I was told the Park Heights campus might offer other activities. I live around the corner from the Owings Mills campus and it would take me 40 minutes to get to Park Heights. Also, Park Heights is not part of my community. I hope in the future there are more options developed for all people, not just for children and young families. Linda Bertell (a very disappointed senior who will not be paying over $600 just to take a few exercise classes.

Fantastic experience: I am at the JCC four days a week to play racquetball in the morning. I am always warmly greeted by the staff of the "J". Everyone there is friendly and helpful. My wife enjoys the facilities for her exercise classes. Also, both of us love attending shows at the Gordon Center, a fabulous venue. We both highly recommend using the JCC for many different activities.

Negative experience: This place is racist!! I have been asked if i was jewish and after saying no I was told i needed to be jewish in order to receive assistance! They aren't even the original jewish ppl so technically i am!! What a disgrace! You need to advertise that you only aide your people.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars. An amazing gym. Gym equipment is tops. Love the swimming and there are many classes to choose from. If they install a ladies sauna or steam room I would give it 10 stars !!!!! As that would be the icing on the cake

Fantastic experience: Friendly and inclusive environment, warm and helpful staff, and the fitness center is state of the art!

Fantastic experience: Perfect place for a family - babysitting for 2 hrs so you can work out/do work, Women’s only classes, and J Play / a place to bring kids. They really work at making it a community center. We end up spending between 2-6 hours a day there…

Fantastic experience: The Park Heights JCC is amazing. A great place to exercise where there are separate areas and times for men and women. They are constantly improving and making the space better.

Fantastic experience: Group fitness is awesome. Love the instructors!

Fantastic experience: The JCC has incredible services and facilities, the membership fee is very reasonable, and I feel comfortable and at home in a predominantly Jewish space.

Fantastic experience: Caring staff. Clean facilities. Feels like home.

Fantastic experience: I love water aerobics!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE the WONDERFUL JCC classes!! The instructors are outstanding, and the supervisors are quickly responsive to our needs. There is a GREAT variety of classes to enjoy! And I deeply appreciate that there is a diverse roster of terrific Zoom classes in addition to the awesome classes on the roof of the Park Heights JCC in the evenings too.

Fantastic experience: I love the group fitness classes. The range of days and times they’re offered and the highly trained and devoted instructors. I also love being able to go for a yummy and reasonably priced kosher meal with my family

Fantastic experience: Very positive. I go there for exercise. The staff is friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly staff and trainers -- great equipment!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to workout ️‍♀️

Negative experience: Ever since covid the jcc has really gone downhill! They are so short staffed with the pool, gym etc... When I ask for a spot at the gym the fitness trainer cant be bothered... Its like the trainers get paid to be on their phone and not be bothered with anything except for getting all in the face about the mask not over the nose. Not to mention no one is really in the gym. Maybe 4 people. The jcc charges an arm and leg for offering not much! I have been coming to the JCC for 20 years and had enough!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff and programming! They have been so committed to continuing to offer us invaluable services during these crazy times from zoom programs, to drive-in movie nights, to modified in-person fitness classes to curbside pick-up crafting kits for the kids. They are innovative, flexible, and caring and make Baltimore Jewish life vibrant.

Fantastic experience: The JCC has created a very safe environment for exercise during covid19. We register for classes, get checked upon entering the building and wipe down equipment. The cleaning crew keeps the building spotless. It feels very safe to be there. What has not changed is the JCC as a fantastic exercise venue. I have been exercising at the J for 20 years and have taken advantage of the really great classes with top notch teachers and a great facility. 2/16/21 The JCC has really been here for me during this pandemic! First just virtually, then opening live exercise so carefully. And the virtual library is still fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Love the fantastic preschool, the group fitness classes, the aquatics programming, the summer camp options, the extracurricular activities for kids, and the family events, shows and carnivals.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities, well maintained, clean and up to date. Staff is very responsive.

Fantastic experience: The JCC has a huge, beautiful pool, amazing classes that cater to a wide variety of interests, and a dedicated, knowledgeable staff. I look forward to many more years of enjoyable membership there!

Fantastic experience: The staff are friendly, the place is clean, and they offer a variety of activities.

Fantastic experience: I have stayed with the JCC the whole time during the covid lockdowns (virtual classes) and with registration required, masks and social distancing and then no masks and now back to masks in the PH location (masks are not so bad). The instructors and classes are just the best. The attendees are the best. Amy and Surena are the best!!! Thank you, JCC , for staying open even with all the lost membership money! You kept safety procedures flawlessly and exercise options wonderfully!

Fantastic experience: We love the JCC! Amazing staff, facility, and members. A safe, inclusive, family oriented community center for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is very friendly there. They provide many fitness options that are sensitive to Orthodox Jewish tradition (for example, separate gender swimming hours, separate gender exercise areas, kosher food...). My grandchildren absolutely adore the J-Town room, which is temporarily closed to covid.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to chill, swim, shoot hoops, play racquetball, and exercise.

Fantastic experience: Nice place

Fantastic experience: I like the fitness workout area. All the employees are friendly, including the desk staff, fitness instructors and maintenance staff. The building is well maintained, secure, and convenient.

Positive experience: This was good to visited and good to get out for once a awhile.

Positive experience: Very friendly staff. Great gym. Good cafe. Pool facility looks a little tired. Can they sweep pool area daily?

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Great environment. Helpful staff.

Negative experience: Very racist environment they act nice to you (if your black) , I don't know what it is but once you give them money they try to be your friend. They stare at you and watch you.

Fantastic experience: My son goes to preschool here and it is amazing plus they have so much for us to do as a family. Their sports leagues and swim lessons are great for him and they have arts classes too!!! We also play everyday after school and he wakes up looking forward to going! The prices are good and even as a single mom I'm not going out of my pockets too much and my son LOVES it!!

Fantastic experience: Beautifully redone!

Negative experience: We did a tour of the preschool , it was not encouraging at all

Negative experience: The guest fee is way overcharged at $15 and the staff are rude. Might aswell become a member then or not come at all.

Negative experience: The park heights jcc is a waste of time if your black everything is catered to the jewish people that come . Really friendly at first but once they get your money they look at u like a zebra . The scheldule changes at will when they(jewish people) want the basketball court .They use the basketball court for everything but basketball unless your jewish then u can jus go down the other end of the court and they wont mind. Waste of time and money if u wanna play basketball they give you a 3 hours out the week to do so , but damn it if u cant go swimming when ever though . If u like to swim and play racket ball this is the place for you but if u jus so happen to be black and wanna play basket ball u can forget . Place is totally racist .
