Miami Beach JCC — Attraction in Miami Beach

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...

Was a member for many years. Even after being charged during covid when the gym wasn’t even open, and them raising the membership price 20$ for no reason at at the same time offering NO NEW AMENITIES. i still was a member. I had planned to put my membership on hold for a few months, told them put in the paperwork ( which CAN and should be done over the phone or online instead of filling out paper like it’s 1920)so i had been charged and paid for July on july 5th. I went off and on until the 28th, when I tried to go my account suddenly was suspended and not allowing me to check in when I paid for the entire month of july. it seems petty, but over the years the shady activity of this place is too much. I was a member since they opened up too. Great way to treat your neighbor and...
