Good afternoon, JCC Family – I hope this finds you doing well and that you had a wonderful Pesach. I am pleased to report that things are going very well at the JCC as the facility slowly re-opens. The J is starting to feel like “home” once again. I am thrilled to announce the re-opening of our Fitness Center on Monday, May 3. The Center looks fantastic following a repainting and a deep cleaning of the fitness floor and locker rooms. We truly cannot wait to see everyone return to the Fitness Center and connect with friends and enjoy a workout or a swim. We have a new JCC leadership and fitness management team in place who are determined to provide our fitness members with nothing short of a top-notch workout experience and just as importantly, first class hospitality and customer service. We have partnered with WTS International, a company specializing in fitness centers all over the world, including many JCCs around the country. I am pleased to report that we have very comprehensive COVID-19 processes and protocols in place – which WTS International has used to re-open other JCC facilities they work with – to ensure a safe environment for everyone. For those of you who have been members in the past, we hope you decide to call the JCC Fitness & Aquatics Center home once again by re-joining today. For those of you who have never been a member of our Center, please give us a try. To make the Center even more accessible for all, we are proud to introduce memberships starting at $69/month. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your patience and understanding during the Fitness Center closure. We are committed to ensuring a safe environment for everyone, with a focus on providing exceptional service and a positive fitness experience for all. I am confident that we will deliver that and more on May 3. Keep your eyes open for continued communication from us over the next few weeks as we diligently prepare for a successful re-opening in less than a month’s time. In the meantime, we have prepared a comprehensive list of FAQs to help answer any questions you may have. We look forward to welcoming you back! Ed Nekritz JCC Board Chair & Acting CEO |
