If I can only this place no stars, horrible gym, expensive, the pools are gross, managers are lazy and don't care about customers. Security are Latinos and racist against their own kind. Parking is a BAD!!!

Our son swam a couple of times there. After the most recent one last Sunday, he got bacteria infection and a lot of hives on his belly area. He is very itchy and urgent care doctor pointed out this. Be aware, the indoor pool is clean!

This community center is the best one in Mountain View. We are extremely happy to have JCC next to us and being able to enjoy what JCC offers.

We were pleased to meet Matt, membership representative, who helped us with joint membership bundle. Please ask for Matt to work with when you are there.

Amount of things that they have onsite are unbeatable and definitely worth the membership price.

My favorite perk is two types of saunas. (Two types). It’s very clean.

Gym has many freshly upgraded equipment. Really love it.

The community here is a treasure. Many very interesting, well educated and intelligent people.

Gym also has pretty good and experienced coaches you can work with.

Strongly recommend it.

Guys at the front desk were not friendly at all. Sales person wasn't interested in selling us memberships and did a quick facilities tour almost silently. Outdoor pool is nice, lockers and showers are nice and clean, gym is equipped with modern stuff. But anyway, this place is overpriced.

I was given a tour by John yesterday and the gym was absolutely stunning. I was impressed and it made me want to join as a member straight away. There is a steam and sauna room + swimming pool. Looking forward to starting classes today.

Outstanding place! Just started going to this gym recently, and have been absolutely delighted by the following:

- Respectful signup: I connected with Matt over email and he responded to my questions quickly and kindly, with full transparency over pricing, benefits, etc. He even provided me with a no-obligation trial week and -- unlike at other gyms -- never nagged or pressured me.

- Month-to-month billing: No year-long commitments!

- Clean, comfortable, safe environment. Never once had an issue getting access to equipment, getting into a class (no RSVP's needed except for cycling classes), hitting the shower, or really anything at all. This is the only gym I've seen in my life that's *blissfully not-crowded* even during peak hours! Oh, and convenient, safe covered (garage) parking, too. With badged access and visible security guards on campus, I always felt protected here.

- Incredibly convenient. Don't need to bring towels, mats, shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer, hairspray, etc; everything is right there for you. Even the lockers have built-in touchpad-locks!

- Amazingly-welcoming community! Not only did class instructors warmly welcome me when I first jumped into their classes, but so did fellow group-exercise classmates, even when I was clearly joining a class full of regulars. No one is judging anyone here; it's clear that respect is the default.

- Huge variety of equipment. Pretty much anything you could want cardio or strength-wise, it's there. Even high-end bikes by Peloton and Keiser, the best-of-breed rowers (Concept 2), etc. And again, *never* a wait (!).

- Also great class variety. Two kinds of yoga, Pilates, Zumba, other dance classes, even pool-based classes. And every instructor is clearly passionate and engaged. Oh, and class music volume that'll get your energy up but won't shatter your ears -- THANK YOU!

In summary, this gym is a rarity; it's a welcoming oasis where you feel like you belong and you ENJOY going (and sweating!).
