The J - St. Louis Fitness & Community Center

Fantastic experience: I bit pricey by the month but worth it. The staff is very nice (unlike a different reviewer I've never felt like I was treated any differently because I'm not Jewish), and the Trainers are top notch. The members are very diverse and generally friendly. The atmosphere is accepting and safe. Every thing is kept very, very clean. Equipment well maintained, when something does break it is fixed. Worn down equipment is replaced and new stuff brought in on a regular basis. My only complaints are a lack of parking during peak hour (but if your there to work out what wrong with a little walking?) And frequent shortened hours / closings for just about every holiday (secular and Jewish).

Fantastic experience: One of the best centers to work out at. Clean facilities, towel service, cafe, amazing sauna&steam rooms. Free trial for a day that you can print off their website. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a center for their physical activities. For both of themselves and their families.

Fantastic experience: Love the workouts, love the staff at this location, and love my crew. They literally know everyone by name and make you feel so welcome from the minute you walk in to the minute you walk out. The coaches are just as awesome and have helped me with my fitness journey in so many ways!

Fantastic experience: Great facility for exercising, nice swimming pool in and out, clean facility with nice showers hot tubs sauna. Always activities and a beautiful gym to play basketball, badminton, pickleball , volleyball. Starting pickleball again check the times. They now take renew active for membership dues..

Fantastic experience: Great friendly staff. This place is full of things to do. The inside pool is wonderful. The kids had a great time too. This is a place has something for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Very family oriented facility for all your family's athletic needs

Fantastic experience: Great fitness center, pre-Covid 19 towels were provided and a sauna as well. The J was one gym that changed to swim lane reservations, which I loved (Although I thought that reserving for an hour was too long for me, it worked out great to be able to get into the pool and get your workout in without waiting. I appreciated the J's adherence to safety in 2020. The virtual classes I have attended have had enthusiastic instructors ready to guide you to fitness and help you have fun, and they are even funner in person. Overall a clean gym, not having to provide your own lock is a plus. The mask requirements have recently been lifted.

Fantastic experience: Most people in our community, at first glance, see The J as a place for health and fitness and also assume it must only be for those who practice Judaism. What I have learned in spending more time with members of the staff, is that it is a place for young and old, it's a place for art and culture, it's a place for friendship and philanthropy, for volunteerism and community support. The J offers too many programs to mention them all. Film Festivals, Book Festivals, Fitness and Wellness, Parties, a Garden that donates tons of food annually, reading mentorship, school, programs for the able bodied and the less able bodied, etc. I recommend anyone looking for a way to meet others and support the broader community at the same time look into membership at the The J. This is a place for everyone of every color, creed, and race.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful Facility , Clean, and the evening maintenance supervisor Termaine is always polite and ensures all members needs are meet, I overheard another member complimenting him saying this facility always runs smoothly when you are here and I have to agree. Great staff overall!

Fantastic experience: We hosted my friend's bridal shower here. Its a really neat place.

Fantastic experience: My family is not Jewish, however, the J has been a huge part of our lives over the years from summer camps and early childhood to fitness and even employment. We love it!

Fantastic experience: Clean, a/c works great. It’s a relief from the heat to exercise there. Taking Covid seriously. I feel safe there. Even better when fully functioning.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, friendly staff, affordable rates, all around excellent experience so far. Thumbs up!

Fantastic experience: I feel safe and secure working out in your facility. Thank you for providing me with an opportunity to continue my physical and mental well being during these difficult times.

Fantastic experience: The staff and fitness trainers are some of the best people I've met! Facilities are always clean. There's a workout for every member of the family - barre for me, weights for hubby, pool for the kiddo

Fantastic experience: The key to any organization's success is its people, that is true for the J. The facilities are nice and well maintained and that is important, but what keeps people coming back is friendly and knowledgeable front line employees.

Fantastic experience: My family have been members at The J for many years. Over the past three weeks, I have watched the annual maintenance cycle occur: the gym floor is stripped and rewaxed, the outdoor pool is closed for the summer after 13 weeks of use at the end of Labor Day weekend, and the indoor pools reopen the day after Labor Day after two weeks of yearly maintenance. All of this on schedule. Ready for another school year!

Fantastic experience: The J offers an excellent variety of equipment that is easily accessed due to the number of machines and the large spaces allocated to each machine. The Entire staff at the J are very helpful and knowledgeable as well as responsive. The facility is always clean and offers a welcome environment in which to enjoy classes, workouts or using their excellent trainers. As a member since 2018 I have used the facility daily and highly recommend it to any one who inquires.

Fantastic experience: Always a great place to visit host the Senior Olympics yearly love it

Fantastic experience: Everything. It's a great value for the price. For me, the best gym in town that's not pretentious, lots of workout machines, tons of programs, best Racquetball players in town. It's very clean and properly cared for. Plenty of friendly people. What more can you ask for?

Fantastic experience: Rather than a gym, the j is a true community center. In any given day I can hear 5 different languages being spoken in the locker room and interact with people of all ages, races, sizes, and abilities. Everyone at the J is a valued member who is treated with dignity and respect.

Fantastic experience: I attended the Jewish Book Festival and found the employees to be incredibly friendly and helpful. The facility was clean and well-maintained, and parking was plentiful.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, plenty of classes and activities. The staff is very friendly and the locker rooms are amazing. People at the kids zone are extremely nice so I am happy to leave my baby while enjoying the classes.

Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful, diverse fully formed community/gymnasium where everybody is welcome. Plenty of knowledgable staff to help and assist you. I highly recommend this facility.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to The Wellbridge for awhile. In comparison I’d have to say Wellbridge has better equipment. But this is one of the nicest men’s health club locker room/ spas I’ve been to. Especially in the STL area. Great spot.

Fantastic experience: I have yet to encounter a staff member that has been unpleasant. As a competitive athlete, I have experienced several fitness facilities and community centers, but none that have felt so welcoming. The only complaint I could possibly have is a lack of specialty strength equipment. Strength sports like powerlifting and Strongman are growing in popularity and it would be cool to see more specialty equipment... That being said, I understand the cost and the space for some of them is unrealistic, just noting that it would be cool.

Fantastic experience: Very nice environment. Always you find some group classes if you find bored to workout alone. Neat and tidy locker rooms.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of the Chesterfield JCC since November of 2018. My family and I are using the services of a trainer and a swim instructor and we are very satisfied. There was an initial misunderstanding with the billing but it was handled very professionally by the JCC Director. My wife loves the clases and I love the pool and how clean the facility is. Wish we had joined sooner.

Fantastic experience: We attend the adult day care program. Began late 2003. Seen many gestures of kindess daily. The staff.....praise. These people truly care!

Fantastic experience: Clean and very pleasant. Beautiful inside and out. The women's locker room is luxurious, and has a hot tub, steam room and sauna. The showers are clean and spacious with shampoo, conditioner and body wash included. There are towels aplenty. Lockers are included and lock with a code you enter yourself. I teach and attend exercise classes here and the classes are welcoming and inclusive. There are over 200 classes to choose from as well! This is one of the best gums in St. Louis.

Fantastic experience: Love the community, the classes are endless, you can find classes of all levels even the ones which will give you a great workout Everytime you go there. The space have sauna, steam, wirlpool and massage service as well

Fantastic experience: Great place for anyone to come and hangout. The facilities are great and the staff is excellent. The basketball courts are very popular and the outside swimming area is always crowded in the summer. Hope this helps!

Fantastic experience: Last night was my first night working there for ABM . I have to say this place is phenomenal. It has everything you can imagine. There is nothing left out . There does seem to be a few adults and kids who are messy but messy is a part of life and is no biggie . I hope to work this location for quite some time .

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for years and the facility is top notch. New exercise equipment, racquetball, squash, basketball, ping pong...so many activities to chose from. The membership is pricey, but worth it if you take advantage of all that the facility provides.

Fantastic experience: Excellent accommodation, I work out 4 to 5 mornings a week and enjoy moments of camaraderie with quite a few of my friends. It's a great value to me and my family.
