Fitness FAQs

OPENING JCC ROCKLAND’S FITNESS AND WELLNESS CENTER

We are diligently planning the process of reopening the Fitness and Wellness Center as soon as it is safe.

We will adhere to guidelines from the CDC as well as federal, state, and local authorities. It is paramount that we keep our members and staff safe and protected while they are at the J. Our plan is to open in phases, and gradually evolve to our new normal.

The FAQs below pertain to our “Phase 1.” Think of “Phase 1” as our Soft Opening. This will be new territory for all of us. We want to make sure we have the perfect balance between safety and meeting your fitness needs appropriately.

This situation is very fluid. We will be reviewing guidelines regularly to make sure we comply with the most current recommendations set forth by federal, state, and local authorities. We will communicate all operational changes (including when we can safely advance to our Phase 2) through email, this web page, and social media.

We will continue providing virtual resources for our members who are still sheltering at home.

Can’t say enough about how amazing you all are in putting these workouts up and running! Thanks for the motivation today!!! So amazing! Can’t thank you both enough.
Armchair Aerobics class
R.P.,

We seniors need Armchair Aerobics class so much. Too easy to find yourself suddenly unable to move the way you need to. So thanks to both the J and Rafael.
You can’t beat the atmosphere; it’s great.
Sharon Schneider , NY

I have been a member of the JCC’s fitness center since the day it opened. I just can’t see going to any other gym. It really is a fun, warm place. It just feels like home.
I saw immediate results!
Kyla Basso , NY

The personal Pilates sessions are really amazing. I literally saw results after the first session. I looked leaner, my posture was improved, my muscles more toned. It was remarkable. Read more.
This is a friendly neighborhood gym

The staff here has really made us feel welcome and we’ve recommended the J to all our friends and a lot of them have joined. We have a great time while we are here.
