How to purchase a JCC group fitness class card
Cards should be purchased online in advance of class using a credit or debit card. A special reduced rate of $5.00/class is available, and may be purchased for a single or multiple classes.
The reduced rate is available only for people attending the practice teaching Sunday yoga classes. Card purchasers will have full access to the Jewish Community Center fitness facilities the day of the class. The special rate cards expire February 22, the day after the last class is offered in February.
When completing the online form to purchase a fitness class card, add the following after your last name: -GADON/YOGA.
Further down on the page, select the '10 class card' option for $120.00, then submit the form. By adding the term '-GADON/YOGA' after your last name, the JCC will know not to charge you the regular rate for group fitness classes. Your credit card or checking account will not be automatically charged when you submit the form. That's handled separately by the JCC administration.
Your group fitness class card will be waiting for you at the fitness center front desk (accessible from the north end parking lot). Inform the desk attendant that you purchased a group fitness class card online at a special rate, and that your card should be waiting for you at the desk. Tell the attendant how many classes you wish to purchase (from 1 -7), and you will be charged accordingly.
