When I joined the Margate Jewish Community Center (JCC), my main focus was on aquatics where I could enjoy an early morning swim. I soon learned that the JCC was so much more than a place to enjoy an array of programs, with state-of-the-art gym equipment, and specialized programs for people of all ages. In addition to these benefits, the JCC also offers a sense of community and belonging that is akin to a supportive vibrant family. Displayed outside is a sign that carries a profound message: “This Is Where You Belong” It’s simple, but it captures what I feel and the essence of the JCC’s mission based on Jewish tradition and values, to offer a sense of belonging, inclusivity, welcoming all in the community to participate in these wonderful programs. The JCC is a special place where people connect, share ideas, and make great lasting friendships. From serving children and young adults with educational and sports programs to senior wellness classes, the JCC has a remarkable staff of expert trainers and instructors offering the finest techniques in healthy physical activity. Whether it is aerobics, yoga, cycling, basketball, or aquatics and many great social programs and events, the JCC offers us the best experience and it is where I belong.

I have been a member of the JCC off-and-on for years, and I will continue to be a member for a long time. The staff are all friendly, the facilities are always clean, and there are a great group of people that are members. From the gym to the pool, basketball courts, fitness classes, and social events, the JCC offers a ton of benefit for your membership dollars.My main use of the JCC is the gym, where you will find a ton of cardio equipment, a bunch of weight machines, and a good amount of free weights. At peak times you may have to wait for a weight machine or bench, but it is not usually an issue. Saturday mornings during the summer seem to be the worst time for this, but the rest of the time throughout the year you are good to go.The only knock I would give the gym is that when a piece of equipment breaks, it does take too long to fix. I don't know who they contract with to fix the equipment, but they are not timely in my opinion. Recently the backrest on the leg extension machine had a bolt that broke. This could have been removed with pliers, taken to Colmar to find a replacement, and fixed within the hour. It is about four weeks later, and it is still waiting for someone to replace a single bolt. That gets to be very frustrating.All-in-all, the JCC is a great place, and you will be happy to become a member.

The KATZ JCC in Margate is a vibrant part of life in our community. The gym has everything you need for a great workout, from weights and aerobic machines, to classes that include strength training, yoga, zumba and stretching. The programs throughout the year are excellent too. Whether you live in Margate all year or just summers, it's worth belonging.

Nice facility, except that a number of the employees don't really seem to care much, and it shows in their attitudes when asking a question, etc.

Looking for a place to call your second home? The JCC is a great place to work and work out. Great classes, amazing staff and co-workers. So much more than just a fitness facility. They are your community and your family.

JCC group fitness classes have provided me with not only great workouts but a consistent morning routine. If you are looking for the ultimate workout, you have to try Veronica’s Step and Sculpt class on Saturday mornings! ?️♀️

I have been going to this gym for years just about all the staff members are great except for one women Antoinetta wood. She is the gym bully and the sad part is she is also a staff member. There has been several cases where i have seen her Antagonizing other members about moving equipment, Tell them that she is going to check the cameras. Another time I saw her yelling at the kids about a ball telling them to stop because they were going to break her bikes in the gymnasium then proceeded to ask them “instead of standing around why don’t you help” after they refuse because they was she asked was extremely rude she said “you think you’re too good to do this don’t you” like are you kidding me what this is coming from a staff member???. Any person with a half of brain knows the basketball is not going to break a bike machine. It is a lawsuit waiting to happen with her constantly asking members to move things on her behalf god forbid they get hurt. The way I’ve seen her talk to guest she has no reason being on the gym floor she is probably better off stuck in an office away from people. I have talked to other locals and not one single person had something nice to say about her.

Only three of six showers have shower curtains in the men’s locker room. The wood on the walls in the sauna over the heater do not reach the ceiling. 1/5 of lights in the pool area are not working. Paint on Wall over pool windows is peeling along the full length.
