New Orleans JCC - Uptown

"I want to thank all the gym users who broadcast their coughs without covering, or cough into their hands and then grip the equipment, or never clean their hands at all. Thanks to you all I now have a very nasty case of COVID. I guess everyone, including the administration, would prefer to forget all the hard earned lessons from the pandemic. It ain’t over folks."

"One of the finest institutions in Uptown New Orleans. I walked right by it for years and assumed it would be "exclusive". But I saw their wonderful Olympic size swimming pool and envied the people who could swim there. I love swimming and there just aren't a lot of pools to choose from. I had gotten horribly out of shape and my doctors referred to my "morbid obesity" and recommended I go there to try to stave off "morbidity." Starting on my son's last birthday, last year, I started going there and it has changed my life. My only regret really thinking what a shame it is that I didn't start going many many years ago. It is super clean and extremely well maintained. If you know New Orleans at all, you will understand how rare and unusual that is in this city. Everyone there is super friendly and always helpful. Nobody is an outsider. All are welcome. I try to go there every day but can oy manage about four times a week. But every time I go I feel better afterwards, and every day I don't go I think about it and wish I were there swimming (they have a fabulous indoor heated pool, slightly less than Olympic size, for our brutal winter weather here in New Orleans, where sometimes it gets as low as 40° F or even a few degrees below). I love the JCC and I have never met a disagreeable person there. That makes it nearly unique!"

"Nice outside heated lap pool. Open only in the mornings and late afternoons. They don't accept Silver Sneakers but they reciprocate with other JCCs. The staff was very nice and accommodating."

"Very nice facilities. Recently updated. Indoor pool area is awesome and so is the snack bar and outdoor pool area. It's a much nicer JCC compared to Metairie. Parking could be difficult during peak season."
