Want an amazing gym? Go somewhere else. Imagine a giant gym, full of crazy useless equipment. Want to do squats? Good luck, theres probably somebody curling in the squat rack. No adjustable safety bars, fixed railings instead. Smith machine? The bar spins in place on both machines (by design), so good luck getting a good grip, and the notches on the railings are terrible. Machines? Yea, they have the usual preacher curl, but no standing calf machine, instead they have two thigh abductor machines. Been there an entire year and they have yet to get a half-seat, or military chair for shoulder press. 2 million treadmills, and only 3 flat benches in the weight area. Are you a normal adult with a regular 9-5 job? Oh, you are? Then youll never make it to the gym on Fridays because they close at 6pm, so kiss 4 days out of every month for your overpriced 1yr membership goodbye. Music? Terrible music. And they use the excuse that they cant change it because its playing from an iPod in a locked office, and only managers have the key. Three managers- Reese- Rude and MIA half the time. Isaac- Awesome. Some other blonde woman- good luck finding her, EVER. Old people? Everywhere. Absolutely everywhere and theyre in the way and they dont do anything. Temperature? Ice cold. Work up a sweat and feel the ice cold breeze that wafts through the gym, but they cant make it warmer because "the old people dont like to sweat". Yup, thats right, they wont make it warmer in the gymnasium, the place people come to exert physical effort in order to work up a sweat and stay healthy because old people dont like to sweat. They sit on machines and recumbent bikes for 45 minutes at a time peddling at the speed of smell. Over $40 a month for this nonsense. Never again would I sign up for this gym or any gym like it.

The Susan and Saul Singer Early Learning Center at the David Posnack Jewish Community Center is a wonderful preschool and I could not be happier with our experience there! The teachers and staff are warm and nurturing. They know every childs name and everyone is greeted with a smile. The teachers are knowledgable and the curriculum is vast. Not only are my kids learning the skills appropriate for their age, but they are also taught Jewish traditions and history that create a sense of community that is hard to find elsewhere. Both of my sons look forward to going to school every day and come home excited about what they learned and expereinced that day. My oldest son is completing his Pre-K year and I am confident he is well prepared for kindergarden and has a great foundation for his entire educational career. The facilities are clean and well managed. The children enjoy a state of the art brand new playground everyday and have access to great indoor play areas, gyms and swimming pools. The children also have access to iPads in the classrooms and participate in extra curricular activities such as Karate and Yoga. My sons also take part in the DPJCCs Camp Kadima every summer. Everyday of summer camp is jam packed with activities, crafts, sports, shows and field trips. There is not a single dull moment at summer camp. Our entire family enjoys the DPJCC and we are so glad to be a part of this community!

This is the WORST establishment! If you are a non-member, you will definitely be treated that way! In our experience with the sport of basketball-we found that this establishment teaches and promotes violence from the players (minors I might add) and by some of the coaches. Absolutely horrible! I witnessed a player verbally attack a parent and tried to attack her. When a complaint was made, this establishment blamed the victim. Recently, a coach from one of the basketball teams attacked a 15 year old boy (actually grabbed the kid and pushed him) and viciously came after him (witnessed that one too)...about 15 people tried to stop this guy. Again, nothing gets done! Nobody cares about the victim...by the way, the victim is a non-member! This place plays protects their own. I have never seen such a disgraceful portrayal of team sports! Even most of the refs dont know what they are doing-one ref made derogatory remarks to a grandparent and not even a phone call of apology has been made! I do not recommend this establishment to anyone-especially if you have children and you want your children to be respectful and moral citizens. This place is a disgrace!

I joined the David Posnack Jewish Community Center for the sole purpose of training with Julia Steiner. I have worked with many other trainers in the past and I have never had a trainer that truly dedicates herself the the specific needs of her clients. I have had several injuries that do not allow me to do various exercises that most people can. Julia has done research and has dedicated herself to working with me to strengthen those areas that I have difficulties with so that I can strive to work harder towards my goals in getting into shape. Most trainers work you on machines and push you harder where you could truly injure yourself. Unlike Julia, who dedicates herself to each clients individual situation and truly cares about that person. I have been training with her for the past 3 years 3 times weekly. I can honestly say that without her expert abilities I do not believe I would be have been able to regain the functionality that I had problems with due to my previous injuries. She truly is a Major Asset to the David Posnack Staff.

Best preschool in town. Great teachers who care about my daughter. Top notch early education. My 4 year old daughter already uses iPads in school and knows how to write and recognize most letters and numbers. The classrooms are clean, well maintained and with the most appropriate toys and educational material for her age. They even have new toy kitchens and utensils and plenty of books. Mindy, the Principal is very professional and is always available to listen to parents. She holds monthly PTO meetings with parents and family events such as the last PJ party that was enjoyed by children and adults. The curriculum includes early math, literacy, science, computing, PE, music, and even karate and yoga. My daughter loves coming to the J. Its our extended family. Both my kids also attend camp at the J and sports and other extra curricular activities such as ballet, hip hop and Spanish. And I get to enjoy the fitness center with several classes on weekdays and weekends and even have free baby sitting if needed while working out.

my whole point of putting my daughter in preschool at the jcc is because it was jewish private and i dont want my daughter to be in a public school. you pay a nice big amount every month and your kid doesnt even have jewish teachers or helpers. Dont get me wrong the teachers seem professional but if you are like me and understand what the difference is from a jewish teacher to a non jewish teacher then u wont be happy here it is better paying less and sending them to public you will probably get the same. second of all They love trying to suck more money from you on everything little thing so be ready...and too much kids in 1 class, found multiple mistakes the teacher had made with my daughter like saying she napped when i know she didnt, putting a diaper on her when she is fully potty trained and she was coming home every week sick. i was expecting so much more :(
