Facilities

Wellness is in our DNA

Whether you choose to get fit with group exercise classes, self-guided workouts, personal training sessions, swimming, etc., the J-Fit Health Club has indoor and outdoor options to meet your needs. Facilities include spaces for the indoor fitness center with separate weight and cardio areas, outdoor turf gym, swimming pool, full court gymnasium which also houses full and half-court basketball set-ups and 3 pickleball courts, as well as our cycling studio.

With so many fitness spaces located throughout the wellness wing of the Pozez JCC, members can enjoy large workout spaces that allow for safe physical distancing between members. Unlike most gyms in town, J-Fit is not a box gym with one large workout space.

Indoor

Fitness Center

The J provides everything for a complete cardio and fitness workout, seven days a week. We have partnered with Precor for our new fitness center in both cardiovascular, weight training, and selectorized equipment. Our cardio equipment has integrated video screens allowing you to watch your favorite show, listen to music or set up a workout. The space includes cardio and weight machines, free weights, and more.

Gymnasium

The gymnasium is a regulation-sized gym with 4 standard basketball backboards for cross-court or half-court play and 2 glass basketball backboards for full-court play. The gymnasium floor is constructed of wood and is taped to show the boundaries for 1 full-court basketball court, 2 cross-court basketball courts, 2 volleyball courts, and 2 field courts for activities such as soccer, floor hockey, scooter hockey, etc. A portable aerobic sound system is available and is stored in a secured area within the gymnasium. Basketballs and other various balls are available for use and are kept in a basket near the cage in the gym.
