JCC on the Cohn Campus

Friendly staff, nice little gym, and good wifi. My son attends the daycare and it actually costs less to get a membership to the JCC for the daycare member rate than the membership so it was a no brainer to get one even if I never used it. Well, turns out since I work from home, using this as an office away from home has become incredibly useful. First of all parking is a breeze. They have a giant parking lot so I'm never worried about finding a space. There are a good amount of trees so some spots are shaded. You need a badge to get in the first door to the reception area and then to get to the rest of the building. The front desk is always super nice. They have fruit infused water for anyone who is thirsty. Once you walk through the second set of doors more often than not you'll find me. There are three tables with a couple chairs around each and they are almost never in use. I have never seen all three tables being used. There is also a TV that is playing the news. Most people belong here for the gym. The classes seem to be geared towards an older clientele. They have childcare, which is an older woman who seems like she is a grandma herself. I've never seen her watching more than two children at a time. The gym has tvs, ellipticals, treadmills, a weight area, etc. It isn't that big, but it has all the necessities for a good work out. There is a sauna and locker rooms. Even though everything is definitely on the older side, it is all clean. The other thing I love about these facilities are there are two tables with huge umbrellas outside. They also stream music outside, usually classic hits. The wifi is more spotty there, but it is a nice alternative if the weather is pleasant. I'll continue to belong as long as my son attends the pre school here.

A GREAT alternative to your typical gym!  Located at the Tampa Jewish Community Center in Citrus Park on Gunn Hwy, just past the Walmart and before Citrus Park Mall.  They offer a wide variety of fitness classes including Zumba, pilates, Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Stretch & Flex and Tai Chi. Also have Meditation and a class in Israeli Krav Maga which is a self defense class that I definitely want to take.  In addition, the  Fitness Center includes:Cardiovascular EquipmentFree WeightsSteam Room/SaunaLocker Room with Handicap Accessible ShowersHeated 25-meter Junior Olympic Swimming PoolFour Lighted Tennis Courts & Racquetball CourtsFull-size Outdoor Basketball CourtAthletic FieldThey also offer a water fitness program twice a week.  All this and it's practically in my backyard!  This is open to the public and your first class is free.  After that you have the option of paying $4 per class or you can pay a monthly fee of $30 for unlimited class and use of the facility.  Or you can just pay for the year up front.  Love the flexibility of options!  There is an additional fee for the Krav Maga class, I think it is $10 for members, $12 for non members.  I took the Vinyasa Yoga class and it was one hour of stretching, poses and relaxation.  The teacher was fantastic and I look forward to her weekly classes. The room was large enough to accommodate all who showed up and the a/c worked great!  A major requirement in my book!  No hot yoga for moi!     The only downside to some will be the limited time schedule of classes, which are only during the day except for the Krav Maga.  Closed on Saturday but they do offer a class on Sunday Not a problem for me as I have flexible hours and it's close to home.   Will upload a pic of the current schedule of classes.
