Jewish Community Center of Omaha

Not a very welcoming gym if you are a young woman trying to learn how to lift weights. I've encountered hostility and judgement from the old men at this gym on multiple different occasions I've worked out. I work out almost daily at my college gym and never experience trouble. Yet every time I come home to workout I feel belittled, and uncomfortable. If you are a young woman I suggest going somewhere else with a younger crowd. There are other things I love about the JCC, as I have grown up attending various programs, as well as working for their summer camp. Unfortunately, I cannot get over all these encounters as it has hurt my love for working out and reinforces the sexism many women face from working out.

Put in a deposit for a spot at the JCC Early Learning Center for our children over 2 years ago, contacted them more than once to inquire about when we would get in, and was never contacted saying a spot had finally opened up for us. They took our money and scammed us.

Thank-you Jewish Community, staff & visitors for making my fused art show so successful. I appreciate all the hard work Lynn Batten did to make it successful. The kind individuals who came through to see it & those that just happened upon it. I am very grateful to you all. Many thanks!

My family has been members of the JCC for over 40 years. I now travel frequently back and forth between my West coast home and Omaha and signed up for a membership in August of 2023. I had never seen the women’s health club and signed up for that to be added onto my membership. Unfortunately during 2024 I used the facility no more than 3 or 4 times due to a number of family emergencies and monthly work trips. I never thought about my locker or the items I had left in there because I didn’t think there would be an issue. I went back finally the beginning of this month. Imagine my surprise when I found a different name on my locker! I had one of the gals from the front desk come back with me and she then opened all the lockers in the vicinity. She mentioned several times there had been “a lot of turnover”. I checked in over the next 3 weeks to see if my items had been found. I was asked to send a description of each item, which I did, along with pictures. Last week I received an email telling me per the “liability” policy I was not going to be reimbursed for anything, along with the comment “we couldn’t find you had a health club membership”. So now I am also getting a veiled accusation that I made this up. Does the liability policy cover employees assigning a locker to someone else and removing items? Apparently so! This has left me with such a bad feeling I never want to go back. I’m afraid to leave my purse in a locker now for even a short workout. It really is too bad when a facility cannot admit that they made a mistake.

I love the JCC! They keep everything so clean! All the staff I have had the pleasure of communicating with have always been great, my daughter loves going to fit and sit while I workout and I feel comfortable leaving her knowing the teachers in the room are great. We have utilized many of their offerings over the years from summer camp to swim team to personal training to exercise classes and I simply cannot say enough good things. The only downside I see is that it can be challenging to get a spot for my daughter in fit and sit especially in the summer. I recommend everyone looking for a gym to check it out!
