With New Year’s resolutions known to drive gym crowds, Simon Family JCC’s JFiT gym got in shape early to offer three unique, budget-friendly services to kickstart sustainable routines without hassle or high costs. And, while JCC membership offers myriad benefits and is recommended, these specific programs do not require membership.
• Virtual personal training is designed for travelers and those with busy schedules. Participants can train via video with any of JFiT’s trainers for specialized Cardio/Strength, Pilates, or Yoga sessions. Skip commutes, avoid missed appointments, and enjoy tailored 30- or 60-minute workouts on their own schedule. This is ideal for maintaining momentum during vacations or hectic days.
• The Buddy Up program sharply cuts costs. Buy one personal training package and get a second free. Train side-by-side with a friend at JFiT, sharing the trainer’s expertise for the price of a single session. This doubles accountability from trainer and partner alike, creating fun and social motivation.
• Nutritional coaching with Julie Giarrana, MS, RD completes the trio. Clients receive one-hour consultations blending education, custom meal plans, weight goals, and dietary restriction guidance. Giarrana also offers strategies for combating diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, celiac, and anemia across all ages. Access it in-person or online to drive lasting health changes.
A JCC membership is not required to take advantage of these sessions. Enroll via the JCC membership portal or email Tom Purcell, JCC wellness director, at TPurcell@SimonFamilyJCC.org with questions or to get started.
