Miami Beach JCC

My kids attended winter camp here and it was an amazing experience. Both of my children require extra help managing their hearing devices. They did a fantastic job making sure they were able to participate. They came home happy and excited to go back each day. We will be back! Thank you so much!

I’m very sad to write this because I’ve always had a great experience at the JCC and never had any complaints—until now. I recently had an uncomfortable situation with XIMETTA, the instructor who teaches the Monday yoga class from 6:00–7:00 pm. For a while now, her class has been ending late almost every week—sometimes at 7:05, 7:08, or even later. I understand that running late can happen once in a while, but it’s become a regular issue. What makes it worse is that she never apologizes or explains. Instead, when members mention it, she often responds in a rude and defensive way, saying things like our phones have the wrong time, or calling people disrespectful. What really upset me happened outside the class. After one of her sessions, she approached me in the bathroom and began speaking to me in a harsh and disrespectful tone. She told me I should “know my place” and “learn how to speak to older people,” even though I had not been rude to her in any way. The way she spoke made me feel very uncomfortable and disrespected. I don’t believe anyone should be treated like that—especially in a place like the JCC that is usually so friendly and welcoming. I hope this feedback can be taken seriously so that all members continue to feel safe and respected here.

My two year old takes Lil tumblers class which he loves. Facility is very clean. Nice selection of toddler programs.

Great community services. Membership required. Awesome front staff.

The Miami Beach JCC reminds me of the 92nd St Y from when I was a kid. Absolutely fantastic, and the staff is incredibly helpful. Classes and activities for people of all ages and all backgrounds. The facilities are brand new. Looks like a great way to train in some obscure sport to get a scholarship to college. Rowing anyone?
