Second, we know that many of you want more intensive options, and we’ve added two new HIIT (high-intensity interval training) classes. Our morning HIIT class offers a classic approach, while Greatest HIITs provides a variety of workout approaches, incorporating HIIT, weights, balance, and core work.
Another way that we’re focused on serving young families is through our afterschool classes for youth and children. Explore our fall offerings, and check out the newest ones, including golf! Last, but certainly not least, we have been inundated with requests for pickleball, the nation’s fastest-growing sport. We heard you, and we’re delighted to launch adult weekend pickleball this fall. We’re doing our best to give you more and more reasons to come to campus, and we hope to see you soon! at the J!

Dear Friends, As our summer season comes to a close, we are celebrating a highly successful camp season. Our days were filled with games, crafts, swimming, outdoor play, rock climbing, and more! We are excited to build off of this summer’s success with an expanded Vacation Day Camp program that will be offered during vacations and holidays throughout the year. Space is limited so be sure to register early. We are also pleased to continue the expansion of our group exercise class offerings. First, we’re adding lots of options to strengthen your core. From Senior Core – a gentle, introductory class that focuses on your core, to Intermediate Core – offering a mix of low-intensity and high-intensity exercises, to Advanced Core – specifically for conditioned individuals with experience doing high-intensity cardio workouts and weights, we’ve got a class for you!
WELCOME

As we continue to expand our services, we are pleased to announce the return of evening drop-in childcare.

Aquatics Program We offer a comprehensive aquatics program. We have a 25-yard lap pool and a Warm Water Pool which is ideal for relaxation, recuperation, and recreation. Both pools offer ADA-compliant accessibility lifts for those who need assistance getting in and out of the water. Our staff can show you how the lifts operate and can even assist you.
Current region- and nation-wide aquatics staff shortages have kept our programs small as we work to hire and train instructors in order to offer the quality lesson programs we all love. We post monthly lessons on our website and include them in our weekly "What's Happening" email. Thank you for your patience as we work through these challenges!
For those interested in pursuing swimming as a sport, start the transition from lessons to competition. Focus on technique and learn all four competitive strokes in a team environment.
