We Appreciate YOU

Thank you all for being part of the JCC Rockland Fitness Family. It is our pleasure to have you!

Whether you take group fitness classes, lift weights, sweat it out on the cardio equipment or a court — behind the scenes we are working hard to provide an excellent experience for you, 7-days a week.

New Equipment Alert!

A new boxing circuit is now located on the second floor, opposite the TRX Studio!

This will include a 6’ hanging heavy bag, double-end bag, speed bag, teardrop bag and a Boxmaster, which is designed with pads placed at different angles to throw any punch or combination as if you are in a real boxing match!

Boxing is a fun workout, and a great way to release endorphins to help improve mood and anxiety. It can be adapted to all fitness levels. This full-body workout combines cardiovascular exercise and strength training to improve heart health, endurance, balance, and coordination.

Here are some tips to get started:

  1. Throw light but sharp punches. It’s OK to use the strength of your arm and shoulder muscles to punch with power, but you need your entire body to throw the punch.
  2. Shorter Combos. There is no need to perform intricate boxing maneuvers. More punches can be added to your combos as you improve. Think Jab-Jab-Cross!
  3. Drink plenty of water. A great boxing workout can make you sweat a lot, so you will need to rehydrate.
  4. Keep your elbows tight to your body and hands high.
  5. Boxing gloves are recommended. We have community pairs to borrow, but suggest using your own. For convenience, we sell boxing gloves in the Fitness Center. See staff to purchase. 
  6. Fun Fact: A 15-minute boxing workout burns about 100 calories for a man weighing 150 lbs. *

Our team of Certified Personal Trainers is here to help get you comfortable with the bags. Contact Fitness Manager Lisa Goldstein, to schedule.

Fitness Spotlight: Core Stretch Studio. ELEVATE YOUR CORE!

The Core Stretch Studio includes equipment specifically designed to stretch your entire body, as well as equipment to strengthen your core muscles.

Earlier this week, we added an ELEVATE Core.
We love this machine because it strengthens all of your core muscles while recruiting your abs, back, hips, and shoulders. They work in unison for better balance and stability.

Our team of Certified Personal Trainers is here to help get you comfortable with the Elevate, and all of the pieces in the Core Stretch Studio. Contact Fitness Manager Lisa Golstein, to schedule.

Complimentary Smart Start Package

We encourage all members to participate in our complimentary Smart Start training program, which is two sessions with a certified personal trainer to help get you started on a new fitness routine. Been a member for a while, and need a refresher? Our complimentary Fitness Reboot is perfect for you. Contact Lisa to schedule sessions.

Fitness Etiquette Reminders

  1. Bags and coats belong in our gorgeous locker rooms. Do not take them into group fitness classes or leave them in the fitness center. There are now coat racks outside of the studios for your convenience.
  2. Go easy on the cologne and perfume.
  3. We added back-to-back Fitness 450 and 450 Cycle classes. Kindly register for one class, allowing your fellow members the opportunity to participate. See below.*
  4. Talk less. Workout more. Please hold your calls while working out.
  5. Smile. It looks good on you!

How to Choose the Right Group Fitness Class


With more than 70 classes on our weekly schedule–choosing the right class for your fitness goals can become overwhelming. Many times, we have several classes happening at once in different studios. The best part is, if you tried one type of class and didn’t love it, there’s probably still another fitness class that might be a game-changer for you. Here are some tips.

Seated Classes – Intended for those who cannot stand and exercise (for any reason) for 45 minutes.

Active Classes – Low impact classes with no transitions from the floor to standing.

Body Conditioning/Functional Fitness/Dynamic Strength Circuits – Classes include cardio movements and strength training. Might include repeated floor planks, burpees, overhead strength moves, etc. Participants should be able to perform these moves as intended and find them challenging.

Fitness 450/450 Cycling/Pump and Agility/HIIT Cardio/Fit Fusion/Boxing – Intended for those looking to push themselves outside of their comfort zone. Think: Go breathless, recover, repeat.

Barre/Pilates/Yoga – Intended for those looking to improve core strength, balance, and posture. Strength movements typically include light weights, straps, and bodyweight exercises

Booking & Reservations

The booking window for all reservations opens 3 days prior at 2pm. The most efficient way to book is on the app. You may also ask our reception team to make the reservation for you, but we kindly ask that you do not ask our receptionists to book a session before the window opens. They will not be able to accommodate this request. You can set a reminder to book any future class as soon as the booking window opens by simply hitting the bell icon on the reservation list.

You may find yourself on a waiting list for a class or court time. When spots become available, everyone on the waitlist receives a notification at the same time. Bookings then happen on a first-come, first serve basis.

If you book a timeslot and decide not to play, kindly unbook yourself.
