Shames JCC on the Hudson

"The best community around! Offering amazing fitness programs to learning, artistic and spiritual opportunities. The staff: warm, open, fun and hard-working......2021.......things have inevitably changed per the pandemic. The staff remains amazing and hardworking. Follow up: And here it is 2022, almost 2023 - better than ever! So many opportunities for all. Thank you hardworking JCC leadership team, facilities and all teachers and coaches.!"

"A very warm welcome it's just the beginning of this immaculately clean Athletic Facility. It is filled with many warm and professional people that staff this great complex. I've been in gyms and fitness centers all over the world and this place is beautiful because it's so clean. It has much to offer families and little ones. It has a nice size gym for those who like that kind of exercise. It has a magnificent pool with lifeguards and a warmer pool for older people and it's bright filled with sunlight. The locker rooms are spotless. There's even coffee for the morning and a place to lounge and relax and just sit back and relax. It would be great if every community could have something like this but unfortunately that's not the case. I highly recommend this institution to the people of Tarrytown and neighboring places. I had an excellent tour and I'm going to become a member because I see the due diligence. That is most important. It's the workers that make a facility great not just the facility on its own. This well-run complex is a winner. If you're looking for some serenity in a peaceful, family environment, this place is highly recommended."

"My happy place! The JCC is a wonderful respite from the daily grind. A positive, clean, supportive environment where the focus is on wellness and personal empowerment. There's a strong sense of community here too, and I've made many friends along the way. I highly recommend it!"

"The facility is great. I thought it was supposed to a community center with trust and respect for the community. However, my bag was stolen out of a locker and the staff doesn’t seem to interested in trying to help find out what happened. I’m not asking them to replace anything, I understand they are not responsible. However, there is someone in the “community” who feels comfortable going into lockers and taking what is not theirs. This bag had all my swimming gear as I am training for boot camp for the USCG. It’s a violating feeling."

"Just went to pick up our key fobs and have our photos taken. We'll have to find out where to go whem we arrive for the first day of camp this coming Thursday. The new J is squeaky clean and brightly lit with lots of windows and high ceilings. The fitness center, gym and pool are up and running. The cycling room looks ready for workouts but light was off so not sure. The gym has the ability to lower a lot of the basketball hoops for younger players. The pool looks terrific and the locker rooms have nicely sized showers and a sauna. They provide towels. You must wear a swimming cap no matter ow.much hair you have (or don't have), don't love that but understand it. They don't have any spaces to sit and have a snack you've brought with you so sit outside on the grass or on one of the few picnic tables."
