JCC Greater Boston - Community center in Newton - 333 Nahanton St, USA

I just love this place. There are so many different offerings, the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable, and the equipment is excellent. I mostly do personal training here, but also use the indoor and outdoor pools, do drop in pickleball, and - during the pandemic - took online courses.

Friendly staff! Fitness center well equipped. Clean and well maintained.

4 star for kids programs This location provides variety of kids classes that my kids enjoy. The program manager is easy to reach and considerate. Will keep signing my kids up. Edit: 3 stars for LKSA Below is review for the aquatics the instructors at LKSA are nice to kids, and provide good feedback when I asked about progress. I also love the Aquatics coordinator Deven who’s very helpful and accommodating. However, another coordinator needs some training to stop dodge customers questions. His job is to help customers. I have to keep asking THREE times in our back and forth emails for him to answer my ONE question related one clause of the policy, which could be avoided if he just get it explained in the first reply. But nope, he refused to provide any explanation related to this clause until I pushed THREE times. This is rude and unfriendly behavior in my view as a coordinator. Also I asked it because the clause appears to be applied to anyone but it only applies to certain groups per his statement ( not on JCC written policy), so LKSA needs to revise their policies to make it explicitly clear to avoid confusion, if what he stated is true. Even though what’s not written doesn’t apply, i don’t argue as long as they provide reasonable explanation to me as I’m very flexible and cooperative usually. I do however need to know my rights and my options. I can’t stay unknown which is unfair for the paying customers.Thus I can’t stand his behavior towards a small request. And aquatics never pick up phone calls it’s always straight to voicemail. For anyone like to sign up the swim classes, bless you meet a great coordinator that’s willing to help answer your questions and friendly.

Update: brand new gym exercise facilities, and locker rooms gain it a point. Friendly staff and patrons. Well maintained facility though it's probably 30 years old now. Nice gym, pool, locker rooms. Staff is friendly. Tons of cultural events.

Nice facility, friendly staff, and wide list of options to rest training and reloksation.

Great facility, I come here for the fitness center. The locker rooms look newly renovated, and most of their cardio equipment is brand new and has great features (connect to Apple Watch, browse movies, etc). Their staff is very friendly and the facility is always clean. I also like that it’s usually not busy- if you’ve never been to this JCC, it’s similar to a YMCA that’s much less crowded. Very glad I purchased a membership here.

Great place for indoor swimming. Outstanding facilities, private showers, clean and very nice staff.

We have heard about great reputation of JCC curriculums for years. After 1.5 years, we are very impressed by my grandson’s JCC in Sharon for it’s very friendly, caring, loving, safe, well organized, constructive, pleasant, and healthy development environment. Sometimes I would stopped by earlier to observe my grandson’s activities, such as his hands on motor skills, if he is sharing, his listening and reading skill, and his social skill, etc. Now we know that he will be ready for his kindergarten. You often see kids greet or hug each other, or hug the teachers before they leave, the parents talk and socialize in all kinds of curriculums. The entire staff (from Lauren, Cindy, Nettie, and Emma, etc.) seems to know every kid’s name and their progress. They greet every kid when they walk into the door. The office business is well organized and run very efficiently. Cindy who takes care of every single tasks so smoothly which makes parents’ lives much easier deserves our special thanks. This JCC deserves the Best Review. 2/7/2023
