January – May 2018 PROGRAM GUIDE ON THE COVER THE JCC HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! The JCC has changed my life in a positive way since joining in January 2017. Suzan assisted me when I first joined and has helped me repeatedly in learning the weight equipment and is always so accommodating whenever I have a question. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Group Exercise classes, especially Judy’s classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Judy is the very best in teaching style and personality. We all love her so much and get so much out of her classes. I wish she could teach more classes. I also want to give kudos to Alycia’s “Dance Fitness” class. Alycia is great in both her personality and teaching style. The JCC is family to me and these gals contributed to my well-being and I look forward to every single week of participating. When I first started in January, I was diagnosed with mild arthritis in my shoulder and upper arms. It has totally disappeared and I am no longer in discomfort! I have also lost weight and beginning to tone my muscles!
