Guys at the front desk were not friendly at all. Sales person wasnt interested in selling us memberships and did a quick facilities tour almost silently. Outdoor pool is nice, lockers and showers are nice and clean, gym is equipped with modern stuff. But anyway, this place is overpriced.

I cancelled my gym membership at OFJCC over 3 years ago. Now they are texting me once a week to get me to rejoin. I have requested three times that they stop with the spam texts but the texts keep coming. Crazy, crazy behavior for a gym. If someone needs a gym membership, theyll find you. Has anyone ever responded positively to a spam text from a gym? Hard to imagine so.

The JCC stands for Jewish community center, my parents used work here they stopped becuase we got busy not CAUSE off the jcc itself. there isnt really kosher food but there is sushi sometime and snacks at the cafe the playground and pool is really nice. Its mainly reformed jews that go there. but for big events there sometimes is rabbis and kosher food stands (hint my parents run the kosher food stands) But i really love the jcc my sister had her batmitzvah there and my other sister too! i genuienly love this place.

I love this place! An awesome facility and even better staff. I would highly recommend James Ward for training sessions.

Theres no synagogue. Calling this a JCC is a bit misleading unless the JC stands for someone else.

It’s a nice place, but it’s a little bit boring.

Even though membership is prepaid, they require a 30 day cancellation notice. You might reasonably think you can cancel your membership at any time during the month you already paid for, but you will be surprised to find that you also have to pay for the next month.The indoor childrens pool is nice.

If you are Israeli especially if you moved from Israel recently, this is an incredible place to start and enter the community. There are tons of youth programs, Israeli artiststs and preformers, and community events. And many, many people speak Hebrew, too!Highly recommended!!

Clean, well looked after. Has a new sports field on top of part of the car park. The chessboard is in the shaded space near the field.

I was seriously badly treated when attempting to try the gym they give a 3-day pass to try the gym but even though I registered online I wasnt on the system; the salesperson wasnt working on Thanksgiving, and the man on the registry upon not finding me in the system instead of trying showing more understanding and perhaps finding a solution, seems like he assumed I was there for wrong reasons when maybe it was a mistake in their system. Any way, he made me feel so very uncomfortable and almost humiliated me in from of others by elevating his voice when it wasnt necessary. In a nutshell, he was awefully rude and unhelpful. This man has blue eyes and is in his late 30rs or early 40s.

We love this facility. My son and I swim apx 2-3 weekly. The pool is perfect for little ones because it is mostly waist high on them and heated. They also reduce the chlorine content by using salt. The gym is nice too as are the locker rooms. There is a family room, a boys locker room, girls locker room and then Men and Womens locker rooms (separate) include steam and dry sauna. Also children under the age of 13 are not permitted in the adult locker rooms. They have so many classes to choose from, massage, childcare, special events and a great playground. I also love their little cafe. Parking is secure and easy.

Great facility with nice, friendly staff. Offers a variety of classes at all times of the day. Clean and spacious. The parking situation is the only item that is not ideal - one can always find parking, but the parking garage seems not optimally designed.

We just use the pool -- great for children! Warm and clean water. Their family locker room is also very comfortable to use -- except for some times when its VERY crowded.

I love the variety of classes. Theres a sauna and steam room and swimming pool. Theres lockers to out your things. Just make sure you keep an eye on your things as I heard of people losing things. Receptionists could at least greet clients.

They signed me up for membership.once i decided to cancel it, they said you will be charged for 1 month which i was never informed. when i contacted them regarding, this guy who acts very polite keeps saying that it is our policy.i explained for him that such policies should be verbally explained to customers and not like oh it was on such and such form. no one reads through the forms but seems like he does not want to hear his customers. to be perfectly honest, to me this is kind of a scam.why should i not be able to cancel at anytime anyways? it is not a real estate that would remain empty for a month.absolutely dint enjoy the way they approached. i hope they decide to change their behavior otherwise they will piss other people off too.

A very nice, modern facility. I havent explored the whole place yet, but what I have seen its great.I joined mostly to use the gym and pool. The pool is better than the ones at any other health club Ive toured -- six Lanes and rarely crowded. Its outdoors but heated, so I dont yet know what it will be like in the winter. Theres also a big indoor pool for kids, with a slide and other water features.The gym has a huge number and variety of cardio machines. All the usual kinds of treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes, plus rowing machines and arm bikes. Theres also a decent selection of strength training machines and lots of free weights, TRXs, balls, mats, etc.The locker rooms are a bit small if lots of folks are changing at once, but otherwise nice. They provide towels, and the lockers have electronic locks on them so you dont have to bring your own. There are 4-5 places where you can dry your hair, put on makeup, or whatever. There are ~8 shower stalls (one handicapped), a sauna, and a stream room.

Limited parking. If you attend an event, be prepared to find the parking full, and good luck finding street parking in mountain view...

This place delivers amazing value given the price. I would have never though to get a gym membership here and would have looked towards traditional gyms had a friend not recommended it to me. For $70 something a month you get access to a big enough gym for your average person, access to all of the classes at no additional cost, Wifi at ~20-30mbs for those of us who stream things while working out, and a clean facility. There is even a valet service that comes with your membership albeit I have never used it. Stop by for a tour because the only downside I can think of is the OK pool outside.

We enrolled only for the swimming classes for children but every enrollment time has been a nightmare. The admin team handles the files very bad, they forgot to send me a notification that members registrations started and my daughter lost her place ! But they dont care you need to accommodate their mistakes due to the high demand

I was a member for 8 month and I loved it. Its the cleanest fitnesstudio Ive ever been to:) Its so nice. The classes were fun, the people were nice although a lot of older people over 40. There were TVs on each equipment. The outdoor pool was great and never crowded. They had security. Great front desk service. I loved the steambath! The lockers were for free and you didnt need a lock to close it. Just enter a code. They had free big towels, free shampoo, conditioner, shavingcreme, lotion, mouthrinse, qtips etc:). I found out I love cardio kickboxing and they only had it 2 times a week which wasnt enough for me so I went to a cardio kickbox studio. But I can recommend the JCC. It has everything I wanted in a fitnessstudio.
