The J is part of my silver sneakers program and here's the situation there. It's a lovely facility…read more New equipment, beautiful pool, tennis courts and pickleball. When snowbirds are here you can't really get into classes ( most are great) unless you set alarms for yourself and sign up a couple of days ahead. The place skews older and I although there are high school kids there in the afternoons it's not age diverse. Plus side is it's very forgiving and a great place to start weight lifting and more. There are paid programs for that and I think that would be worth it. I belong to a few other places so it's not a problem. I really like yin yoga there and trx . If this is going to be your main place you will be frustrated.

Okay... how did I NOT know this place existed?! That's…read moreexactly what I was thinking the first time I stepped foot onto the JCC. I discovered the Tucson Jewish Community Center after they hosted the Hot Cocoa Run 5K (hands down one of the funnest, most vendor-packed races I've ever done ), and let me tell you--walking into the JCC feels like stepping into a whole other world. This place is HUGE and has everything.They gifted a week pass in our swag bags from 5k and I fully leaned in--and I'm so glad I did. First off, the community + programming here is next level. I got to participate in pottery and ceramics classes (SO fun and surprisingly legit), and I love that they partner with local creatives and groups. It gives the whole place a collab, community-driven feel that I'm always looking for. On the fitness side--they're not playing around. I took multiple classes, and their cycle class (aka performance ride ) was actually really solid. Great energy, great programming. I also hit a strength-based class that delivered, and the gym floor itself is super clean, spacious, and not overcrowded (major win). The crowd is also refreshingly diverse in age, which I loved--it truly feels inclusive. And can we talk about the Cafe at the J... because YES. Tons of vegan options , actually flavorful, and super affordable. Not your typical "gym cafe" situation at all. Beyond that, this place is basically a mini campus--tennis, pools, art spaces, events, rentals, and even traditional Jewish baked goods (fresh bread, hello ). They also host a TON of events--like so many it's hard to keep up--so definitely check their calendar because there's always something happening. Overall, I'd absolutely go back. Whether you're going for fitness, arts, community events, or just to explore something new in Tucson--this place is a whole experience.

The whole place is out of order and sketchy, director constantly hiring, you have current employees…read moretraining teachers and then telling all the drama to new people, current employees if it's such a bad place then why continue work there? And say horrible things about director(boss) 1 teacher tells everything , there's actually 3 of them ..about the whole place and how it's ran how new people don't last and this is how the boss is and if she continues to treat people like that she's going to continue losing people. New people don't last hours are not guaranteed it's only closers. Every young woman of all the teachers has complained to new teachers about hours and how they do what they want. They clean the tables with white thin cloths and rinse them out turn around wipe every nose and hand of every child and reuse on table. Witness a teacher telling multiple kids do u want a spanking? For misbehavior, they all walk around with attitudes no communication act like they don't want to train. Had a teacher also say cameras are in place just for the look cameras don't work they don't want other parents watching other children also it's also bad because there's no way to prove that's all the teachers are on there cellphones keep them in there hand all day and in pocket hide them under the child's sleeping mat as soon as the assistant or health and specialist walks in. They know that employees are on there phone won't do anything about it. They also get the parents numbers as communication to text thru out the day and say that's the reason why they need there phone. They like blaming teachers for diapers and putting blame on not having enough diapers or putting wrong diaper on a child. There's no way to prove all the teachers are on there cellphone but make employees sign a phone contact but there on there phone 24/7. Teachers call out alot and complain why are other teachers going home early.theres is a lead teacher there's that always has panic attacks n saying omg to the kids u guys are bad she calls off everyday never there then says u dont get hours. They bounce teachers around never in a consistent room there was suppose to have a new room open and never opened for kids to be in and start new teachers in. Witness a teacher popping a child on the hand, never got direct deposit information up until the last point. The teachers currently here talk about the director and said very bad things but continue to work there not sure if she knows it but they have workers there telling any and all new oncoming people stuff and then say that's why they don't last they really tell everything that's going on there but continue to stay there. There is also a couple that works there have the same skedule and constantly in one another's room sneaking and hiding when there not suppose to be out the room witness a teacher giving something to another while the director was across the way and she got scared and said I think the director saw me so the other one told her to go around the other way so she wouldn't see her. Teachers try to find out personal information ask a bunch of questions then gossip everything is gossip. They talk to u like ur stupid like as if u don't know what's going on. Send people home early if they get mad at you as well there is favtsm there. Quite a bite race going on there too if there not able to communicate. One teacher talks so badly about the owner but reports everything back to her on cellphone. Text her .. Teachers complain about having another class in there class and why can't they go to there own and be with there teacher. Everything was late in paper work I had to keep asking for my ADP login and direct deposit when other teachers got there. They say 1 thing but body actions doing another they make it seem all nice n good and it's not do not take your kids here at all ! They need to get rid of some of the workers currently there is why there messing everything up for incoming people telling stuff and discouraging new workers everything is negative out there mouth towards about the boss and towards her I though it was so messed up.

This place is very image based and has a very high teacher turnover rate, and based on what I…read morewitnessed, it's probably due to lack of admin support and unprofessionalism. The kids (especially the school age kids) are completely out of control and under paid and under trained teachers have no support when dealing with challenging behaviors. They have no problems barking orders at staff, leaving them feeling devalued and under appreciated. They seemed to care more about a floor being swept than the safety of the children. At least the teacher I met seemed pretty nice.

I had my eye on taking classes for the last few years and after a few friends expressed interest, we took the leap and started what has been a very fun (and strengthening) journey so far. I started taking beginner silks in October of this year and I typically go about once a week. Katherine is a great instructor. She is patient and encouraging and even when I think I can't do something, she keeps me going. In addition to Katherine, there are typically a few advanced students at each class and they are also very helpful. The academy is a welcoming environment and I highly encourage anyone who is interested in circus arts to pop in for a class. Oh, and of course it's a great workout too!

If I could I'd give this place 0 stars. The front office and deck staff are rude. The instructors…read moreare inconsistent with their discipline and instructions to the children. My son is young and has a tendency to not listen. He is a quick learner but easily gets bored and wants to entertain himself. I've tried working with the staff and to communicate with them, which always got dismissed. In the beginning we had a variety of different instructors due to changes in staff or make ups. One instructor would kick my son out of class because he would go under water and play while the instructor was with other children. Others would scold him or ignore him and not provide him the same attention and instructions as the other children. Which causes unsafe conditions for my child. There was one incident where we intervened and pulled my son from class because he was not listening and the instructor was clearly overwhelmed. We recognized that our son's disruptive behavior was not ideal for the other students. The school reported us to DCS for child abuse. Parents shouldn't walk into this place in fear of being falsely reported for child abuse. My son doesn't listen. We left it to the instructors to correct and when one instructor was having a very hard time with him we intervened and pulled him from class. Somehow that counts has child abuse because we pulled him by his arm out of the pool as he tried to go under water. This place is a joke. Don't come here if you want your child to learn how to swim.

We love coach Adam for his passion and energy when teaching my daughter and improving her stroke. My daughter has learned so much from him and he helps her feel confident in her skills. Coach Cyrus has also been great as well, attentive to detail and encouraging my swimmer to improve. The facility is clean and spacious, they've added more chairs on the other side of the pool too for busier Saturdays. There are deck supervisors present who help answer any questions and can evaluate if your child is ready to level up. We miss Ash as a coach, but she have been amazing as a deck supervisor. She evaluated my son for the next level, gives constructive feedback for improvement, and takes feedback from parents. The portal is easy to use to schedule makeup classes and register for new classes when my kids level up, but even when I need to speak with staff about something, they are very friendly and helpful. I've spoken to Karen many times and she has been really great and with helping me get a class scheduled. I'm so happy to have found a wonderful swim school for my kids where they can learn to love this sport and be challenged to learn and grow each week.
