The pool is absolutely amazing! Two water slides, a lazy river, diving board, lap lanes, this pool has it all!

The women's steam room literally smells like fish all the time. The gym is nice with many workout options. Parking is accessible. And again tha women's steam room literally smells like a fish market. read more

This place is awesome. Wonderful fitness classes and the most insane water park pool. They also have camps, festivals, a preschool, adult sport teams, and plenty of family friendly events! Lovely community and place! read more

This place is incredibly. They have added so much to it these last few years! The possibilities are endless. They basically have whatever workout style your into. From swimming pools to racquet ball you should have no problem keeping yourself entertained! Their personal trainer Craig definitely does not play around...but in a good way! He will not let ya slack :)! They also have a few aerobics studio that seem like a whole lot of fun! Not only is this a gym, but its also a school..and so much more. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for something a little more than the average gym membership! And no...you don't have to be Jewish to belong here hah! read more

I came here for the Jewish Film Festival and so only amenities which I used was the loo + parking lot + the Belz theater, where the movie was being shown, so that's all this review is basically limited to. So first observations - not a lot of parking, and I had to loop back around before I finally got a spot. Walking in, it's a lovely warm, welcoming space and after purchasing my tickets, I was directed by the usher to the Belz Theate. So its kinds like a high school theater, but with cleaner and more comfy seats. However the AC levels were seriously out of whack and it was freezing cold in the theatre, and it didn't help that this was in February. I kept my coat on while watching the movie. Everyone was very friendly. I supported a local Boy Scout's troupe by buying snacks and water from them before settling into the movie. Final Verdict - If there was another movie that I wanted to see, and the Belz theater was the only showing in town, I'd come here again, in spite of the AC issues experienced during this visit.

Great facility with lots of activities for everyone in the family. Love the outdoor water park in the summers as well. So glad we joined and that we get to spend more time here. read more

Memphis Jewish Community Center - Gyms Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I can't say enough good things about this place. I've been a member here for about 5 years and my son has been going here for almost the same amount of time. It has a lot to offer so I will try to break them down in a somewhat organized way. First and foremost, this place is awesome for kids. The early childhood program runs from about 1 year old up to kindergaten. Daycare is offered from 7AM to 6PM I believe. Everyone I have ever dealt with has been amazing. The facilities they have for them range from big indoor play areas to wide open fields, a great outdoor pool and water park, a big basketball gym, tennis courts, indoor pool....the list goes on and on. They have a wide array of additional activities that go from cooking classes and tae kwan do to tennis and swimming and everything in between. Soccer, basketball, and baseball leagues play both internal teams as well as some teams around town. The main two people that run these, Austin and Jason, are as good as you get and an incredible asset to the JCC. The workout facilities for adults are nice too. The indoor gym was redone a few years ago and, altough it isn't huge, it's very nice, well maintained, clean, and rarely crowded. Hours most days are 5:30AM to 10PM I think. As mentioned, big basketball court inside, a couple racketball courts, indoor and outdoor pool, etc. Nothing is on the scale of Lifetime, but thats a good thing sometimes. This place really has just about everything you need in terms of fitness. The locker rooms are a little dated and could use a remodel. They have plenty of other things going on at the JCC, but I really don't use them enough to comment on them. The biggest downside of the JCC is the hours. Not open Saturdays and closed during every imaginable Jewish holiday. As long as you know that on the front end, you can't go wrong with this place, If you have kids, I would encourage at least looking at this place. The summer camp they do is very well done, and I think the facilities, especially the outdoor pools, are hard to beat in Memphis. Its also nice to be able to get a quick workout in while you kid plays a basketball game or something. Parting shot: if you are looking for a place to workout, for the kids, or for sports, you owe it to yourself to give this place a good look. Its awesome and there are very few places in the country (and maybe none in Memphis) that you can do so much under one roof!! read more

Went here tonight for a circuit suspension class and got my hind end kicked. I was gassed at the end. Good thing my office chair has wheels at work - I think I will use a cane to push myself around the office tomorrow. I had no idea the Memphis JCC had a huge gym with many amenities. They have 24 acres of stuff to do. Inside was clean and well organized and there were a lot of people making use of the facilities. They have tennis courts, soccer fields, the usual gym equipment, workout classes and rooms, 2 indoor racquet ball courts, an indoor pool, an outdoor pool and a lazy river. read more

The MJCC has grown and thrived in its welcoming location in East Memphis, on Poplar near Kirby Parkway. The main components are the camp, the gym, the pool, theater, and preschool. The early childhood preschool program is well-rated and feeds into great schools like Richland, Lausanne, White Station Optional, Hutchison, PDS, and St. George's. The athletic center is very impressive, with racquetball courts, free group exercise classes in everything from Zumba to boot camp, a large open cardio and weights machine area, and SO many pool choices. There are about three pools just for the kiddies, if you could the splash pad, toddler play area, and shallow pool. An indoor pool is also kept for swim team, free swim, and water aerobics classes. If you are considering a gym, this place is worth a look. Summer camps are now housed both outside on the fields as well as in the new camp pavillion, to help keep things cool. Swimming is a part of every camp day. read more

The guys that work at the pool are super rude. They throw down the chairs as your sitting in them. Horrible experience here at this location. The lifeguards are super rude and mean and obnoxious!!! They are mean to the kids and scream at them in their faces and blow whistles as loud as they can inches from their faces. They complain about kids there constantly. This is not a family orientated establishment. Do not bring kids to the pool here it's literally a nightmare! read more

I can't believe I had not heard about MJCC until a few weeks ago. I attended a circuit suspension class last week and barely survived. It was a tough class, but the instuctor and his workout playlist were very motivating. My body was sore for days. I also attended the Stott Pilates, which was very interesting. They are very thorough with explaining the moves so you won't hurt yourself. It was a lot of fun trying something new. They offer several different classes, as well as many other amenities. I might just have to get the membership because the pool and lazy river sound very tempting, especially with this Memphis weather. read more

This place is awesome. Very clean and friendly staff. In the gym equipment are always new, they are always trying to renovate. Outside water park is outstanding. Kosher cafe Holy Cow inside. Locker room is so fancy!!! Thank you guys!!! read more

I have heard about MJCC, but have never had the chance to actually go in and see what it is all about. The fitness equipment, the amount of space in the gym, and the variety of workout classes blew me away! I tried the suspension training class two days ago and I am STILL sore. I consider myself to be a person who works out regularly, so to still be this sore shows how effective the class is. Everything is clean and everyone is nice. Might just have to get a gym membership because I loved it so much! read more

Very poor service at the restaurant, tried to increase the price at the end sneakily when I tried to pay

Why can't I put no stars? The facility itself is fine. Basic. No bells and whistles but that's fine. The outdoor pool is incredible so we gave it a chance. I wish we hadn't been taken in by that. The staff taking care of the kiddos are clueless (for the older kids, I cannot speak to the Early Childhood). They don't watch the kids and have a ratio of child to staff that has to be questionable. And the worst part, they do NOT have a zero tolerance policy. Really. Kids can hit, kick, punch, bite, name call, and they do not do anything about it! Oh, when they eventually see the wrongdoing, they will tell the kid to stop but that's it. Then the next day, the same thing. Really, such a shame. Why are they afraid to tell the parents about what is going on? Why do they not expel repeat offenders? Sadly, we will not be going back. Had high hopes but oh well. I'd rather send my child to a non-Jewish place that actually watches the kids. read more

After reading the negative review about the MJCC pool & lifeguards, I felt I needed to write my own review. I have been a member of the Memphis JCC since 1982. I've seen the facility go through many & incredible changes. The pool I brought my kids to was very different from today's pool & we enjoyed every minute there. Today I go w/ my grandkids to the MJCC pool. I defy anyone to find a better pool. This pool is now a waterpark complete w/ slides for all ages, a lazy river & amazing splash pad. The lap lanes are still there for the serious swimmers. The MJCC pools (there are indoor & outdoor) continue to be used for city swim meets & various classes including kayaking. I have never once experienced a rude lifeguard in all the years I've gone to the JCC. If you're looking for a place to workout, the MJCC fitness area is top in the city. I take many classes each week & have a personal trainer. The MJCC offers so much to the entire community. They host the Jewish Film Festival, Health Fairs, basketball tournaments, speakers, artists, programs for the elderly & so much more. It's a wonderful facility open to all who wish to enjoy all it has to offer. read more

I enjoy coming to this place. The staff is nice and friendly, very clean and new equipment. Great price and highly recommended.
