Jewish Community Center of Greater Baltimore

"Regarding Owings Mill: Very clean, well-appointed facilities. Great fitness classes. Ample parking. I like the fact that the monthly fee includes the fitness classes. I personally don't use the outdoor Waterpark, but brought my grandkids this summer and they loved it. Note: I did compare this with the Y in Towson. The Y lets you sign up for classes (e.g., yoga), but arrivals are first come, first served 30 minutes prior to class. They can fill up. I'm not willing to drive there and HOPE that I get in a class."

"Exercise and socialization are what is important to me. The J meets those needs. I like pickle ball. This activity helps me to stay active and make new friends. I have a group of 5-6 seniors like me with whom I play on Tuesdays and Thursdays. With camps in session, this has been disrupted somewhat, requiring that we play outside in the summer heat. With air quality being what it has been lately, plus the heat, this makes it difficult to play without putting us at risk."

"Great Opportunity, Great community and people to work with! Been going to the J ever since I was like 6 years old! Feels like home!"

"Nicely maintained exercise equipment, fun group fitness classes, solid hours (especially during weekdays) and amazing indoor and outdoor pool facilities. I love to end the day with a stop in the sauna. Well worth the detour, especially during the summer."

"Clean, well maintained exercise areas and pool. I exercise here often. But truly annoying phone answering menu. A whole sentence about the phone number of the Gordon Center BEFORE the menu. Another sentence claiming that the menu has changed, and you should listen to the whole menu when the menu hasn't changed in years, and nobody ever listens to the whole menu. Delete that stuff and just give the fershlugginner menu up front."
