About
Family-focused sports complex, clean and well-kept, with multiple pools and basketball courts.
The indoor pool is heated to 84°F, and the outdoor pool is heated to 82°F.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The JCC receives overwhelmingly positive reviews, frequently described as one of the finest institutions and the best facility in the city. Members consistently praise the staff for being exceptionally kind, considerate, friendly, and helpful, creating a welcoming 'home away from home' atmosphere. The facilities are highly regarded, including excellent equipment, multiple pools (Olympic-size, indoor heated, outdoor heated lap), and recently updated areas. Many reviewers highlight the JCC's positive impact on their health and overall well-being, noting its super clean and well-maintained environment, which is considered rare for New Orleans. Specific amenities like the aquatics department, cardio room, rowing machines, snack bar, and cafe are also well-received. While the general sentiment is very positive, recurring concerns include parking difficulties, especially during peak times. Additionally, some members request improvements such as more air conditioning in the cardio room, better cleaning and odor control in the weight room, air fresheners in the women's locker room, and better enforcement of rules like no cell phones in quiet areas and no dropping weights.

My name is Henry Jones, let me start off by saying the only thing better than the equipment, pools, basketball court, and too many other areas to mention is THE STARF!! I love seeing them, and truly one of the best parts of my day. So much consideration, and kindness. Home away from home. Parking can be an issue but a little walk never bothered me. Great neighborhood to park in and feel safe.

I love the Acquatics Department: Kathleen.and Greg and all the lifeguards, especially Violet and Josephine. JCC, without any doubt, is one of the finest institutions anywhere in New Orleans. I walked right by it for years and assumed it would be "exclusive". But I saw their wonderful Olympic size swimming pool and envied the people who could swim there. I love swimming and there just aren't a lot of pools to choose from. I had gotten horribly out of shape and my doctors referred to my "morbid obesity" and recommended I go there to try to stave off "morbidity." Starting on my son's last birthday, last year, I started going there and it has changed my life. My only regret really thinking what a shame it is that I didn't start going many many years ago. It is super clean and extremely well maintained. If you know New Orleans at all, you will understand how rare and unusual that is in this city. Everyone there is super friendly and always helpful. Nobody is an outsider. All are welcome. I try to go there every day but can oy manage about four times a week. But every time I go I feel better afterwards, and every day I don't go I think about it and wish I were there swimming (they have a fabulous indoor heated pool, slightly less than Olympic size, for our brutal winter weather here in New Orleans, where sometimes it gets as low as 40° F or even a few degrees below). I love the JCC and I have never met a disagreeable person there. That makes it nearly unique! I also like their health food automats (snack and drink machines) and their little Café.

I work out here three times/ week. It’s definitely the best in the city. Alvarez is great and perhaps could guide the others at front desk to friendly protocol. Women’s locker room is adequate. I’ve requested air freshener for toilet area several times to no avail. Super fan of rowing machine. No improvements needed. Cardio room is well endowed. Requested bin for dirty towels to no avail. ( Jake and Parker are excellent). Cardio room is too HOT. MORE AC. More AC , more fans especially over treadmills. Weight room is well-stocked. But it stinks. Never see anyone clean it anymore. No grey shirt ( employee) to clean or help with weights. Enforce the no dropping weights and get people off of machines while they text for 10 minutes. No complaints with stretching room, although it should be quiet. NO CELL PHONES. Nice touch lately with very pleasant young lady passing out yogurt and blueberries. Shows you care about us. Recommend the J to everyone I meet. Smile, Michael. 25may25. Still no air freshener. Guess we could spray deodo😆

Very nice facilities. Recently updated. Indoor pool area is awesome and so is the snack bar and outdoor pool area. It's a much nicer JCC compared to Metairie. Parking could be difficult during peak season.

Nice outside heated lap pool. Open only in the mornings and late afternoons. They don't accept Silver Sneakers but they reciprocate with other JCCs. The staff was very nice and accommodating.
