Addison-Penzak JCC in Los Gatos

Fantastic experience: SVJCC is great. State-of-the-art fitness center, sauna, steam. Great trainers. Friendly staff. Outdoor pool is great for laps because the water is pretty warm (83 degrees). Only issue is that sometimes the parking lot is crowded.

Fantastic experience: I have been an APJCC member for several years. I enjoy the programming and special events, and am a big fan of the Wellness Center. The Center has all the equipment and classes I want. The place is not crowded, and I am able to get on the equipment I want with no issues. The Center is clean and well maintained. I give high marks to the trainers, massage staff, and the recent locker room/shower upgrade.

Fantastic experience: There are many things to love about the JCC other than the outstanding fitness facilities, including after school classes for kids, adult classes and a truly outstanding preschool. Because I have two children in elementary school, my favorite things are the family-friendly events: The Silicon Valley Jewish Music Festival, Float Nights during the summer, Jewbilee, holiday celebrations, etc. The Summer Camp program is also excellent. My children have been attending for the last 5 years and though we sometime try other camps, this is by far their favorite and the one they want to spend most of their summer at.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the APJCC for many years, and it is our "second home". The preschool is incredible and the summer camp is my kids' favorite place to be every summer. Both are excellent because of the wonderful, caring staff and fantastic programming. I work out at the gym almost every day as well and the trainers/instructors are helpful and fun. The equipment is state of the art. In addition, the overall programming at the J is interesting, stimulating, and much of it is free or low cost for members. Some of my favorites: Jewbillee, the Jewish Music Festival, Reader's Theater, South Bay Teen Idol, and this year, Hannukkah on Ice. I could go on and on!

Fantastic experience: We moved to Los Gatos from Montreal, Canada in 2006 and the SVJCC made our transition a pleasure. The facilities are excellent, the environment is welcoming and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Two of our children have attended the excellent preschool and we have another child starting in 2014. It really has become our home away from home! I highly recommend becoming a member of this amazing community center.

Fantastic experience: Great club. Lots of weights, machines, aerobic equipment and a big swimming pool. Staff is very friendly.

Fantastic experience: I love the JCC and love the diverse atmosphere. I am worried that any feedback communicated to the JCC which is intended on helping them improve their offerings especially their summer camp is then redirected as criticism towards one's family. So, beware of providing your feedback or be ready to deal with the consequences such as them showing you the door out. I am hopeful that the JCC will adopt a more open stance so that families will feel welcome at the campus.

Fantastic experience: Very clean Great steam room that works. Value investment for the Los Gatos Monte Seren

Positive experience: We used to be club members here before and compare to other swim facilities, JCC swim staff is well organized and friendly. My son attended JCC summer camp and took 1 month of group swim lessons and he loved it. However, I never heard anything from both teachers or swim staff so there is always room to grow for better communication or any feedbacks. We will continue with the group swim lessons and maybe consider joining the swim team next year.

Fantastic experience: Amazing swim lessons for my two children. Well-trained and friendly staff, beautiful and clean facilities, and welcoming, up-beat atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Manager Bill and Teacher Sandy Baker are amazing!! Extremely helpful and were willing to set up virtual classes for me when I broke my foot and could not exercise, drive, or get to the gym. Sandy is extremely knowledgeable, positive, and truly cares about her pilates students. Highly recommend coming to APJCC and taking a class with her!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility with pool, gym, clubs and organized events

Fantastic experience: 수영장, 잔디 축구장, 실내 농구장 등 훌륭한 시설을 갖춘 헬스 센터. 학교도 있습니다.

Fantastic experience: The JCC membership is so much more than just a place to exercise. It's a gathering place for community, family, and individuals alike where a sense of belonging and friendliness persist. I appreciate the amenities, spaciousness, and attention to cleanliness at the gym. This great atmosphere is something I would almost like to keep a secret, so others don't come and disrupt its special vibe. Visiting the JCC has consistently proven to be a rewarding experience, as I have been exposed to new art exhibits, cultural celebrations, and unique community engagements that demonstrate its capabilities beyond gym facilities.

Fantastic experience: My kids and I joined APJCC about 2 weeks ago and are absolutely thrilled to be members. Carolina in membership was super amazing and had such patience with me while I asked a million questions regarding my kids and what they could do there. Since joining, my family and I have to say that the employees are always so nice and willing to help and the trainers (especially Melanie) are just spectacular! We absolutely love Melanie! The facility and fitness center are always clean, well kept, and never overcrowded. Even during high traffic times, one can always find a machine outside. We have not tried swimming in the pool but I already have my daughter signed up for lessons. If the swim instructors are anything like the trainers, I know it will be a huge success! Overall, this place is great and I highly recommend checking them out and meeting the fabulous folks there.

Fantastic experience: Nice facilities

Fantastic experience: It's very clean, the outside gym is great, lots of distance between other members, friendly staff, nice members, great trainer. Lots of parking.

Positive experience: Lower end weights machines than I had hoped, and there is much less equipment than I expected. On the up side, it's all new or will maintained. Just packing in variety and quality for that trade of. That makes it a toss up. Has town service, and clean locker rooms, as well as steam room and sauna. Sadly, there is no hot tub in the locker room. (So there is no gym in the area that has a "safe" hot tub for women (duo gender hot tubs are ALWAYS occupied by gross old men who stare, and make women feel very uncomfortable.) ). Has outdoor pool (82° year round), and outdoor soccer field (which can also be used for running laps - 6x around the goal posts =1 mile). Price wise, and for the equipment, 24 Hour Fitness wins. Cleanliness, JCC wins. Also if you want tennis, soccer, and social programs, or need the gym too wash your shower town, JCC wins. If you don't need those services, well, you'll pay for them anyway. Locating, if you're near downtown Los Gatos, or in the Santa Cruz Mountains, JCC is closer. For 24 Hour Fitness,, I'd recommend the club on Almaden Rd in San Jose over the Hillsdale Ave in Los Gatos location. Notice that the Los Gatos club downtown, next to the high school does NOT factor in. It's pricing is comparable to JcC, but is facilities are awful. Their equipment is essentially the same line as JCC, but very old. So is very maintained, not high end. Locker rooms have had three same broken lockers and tagged out carpet for AT LEAST a decade. Their staff is true, and think too highly of themselves. Their attitude is that they are "Los Gatos", so you should pay for the snobbish locating. Yet is one of the worst clubs I've ever been to. Sure is location is perfect of you live down town, or in the Santa Cruz Mountains. But that's it. Oh, it does have a hint tub in the women's locker room. It's depressing, but it has one. That's really the only reason to join. You'll pay ridiculous fees for the "privilege" of their name. Sure, they FINALLY are renovating, or say they will. But they upped their price, for you to use it based on promises. They*should* renovate, THEN raise the fees. Instead they're ripping people off, and have created a bad name for themselves aground town. Then probably eventually recover, super because of location. But honestly with JCC fairly clue, there is no reasonable excuse or reason to support the Los Gatos downtown club owners. If you can afford that price range, definitely choose JCC over downtown LG Club. JCC much friendlier, and offers more. If both are out of your price range, or you need more equipment variety/quality, choose 24 Hour Fitness. Though depending on which location you choose, it may have more traffic, and you might need to bring your own towel. Also, 24 Hour Fitness membership can give you access to ALL locations world wide. And dozens just here in the bay area. Some are as bad as the Los Gatos Fitness Club. But some are even nice than JCC. Unfortunately, jCC does not offer a limited membership, giving access to just the workout rooms and locker rooms. (with extras such as tennis, pool, activities), at a lower price. But I guess that keeps the small gym less crowded, and easier to maintain. Also, maybe filters or less desirable members. It's would be too difficult, and less friendly to have to monitor people once they've gained access anyway. Overall, I recommend JCC !
