Minnesota Jewish Community Center - Capp Center — Local services in Saint Paul

It's a great place for most folks and most folks here are older or folks with families so it's a chill place with not a lot of pressure on looks ha.

Three main drawbacks:

The pool is sometimes full and it can be difficult at times to get a lane, it's a 4 lane pool and some folks choose to exercise in the lap pool so it can be a crapshoot sometimes.

There's gangs of rampant kids that run around the gym with no adult company. This can be somewhat weird because these gangs of kids come from nowhere and don't respect the general clean and chill vibe of the gym so that adds some excitement I guess but it's mostly an annoyance.

Sometimes the rampant kids do shenanigans, like leaving their electric scooter in the locker room. Don't even try and do something about it, the staff thought it funny. So yeah, shenanigans from rampant kids.

Other than that it's a great place for most folks and a place that is very inclusive, come...

This place is very amazing they have excellent facilities like a gym, sports court, and a pool but the reason I rate it 3 stars is because of some of the staff members ☹. All the staff and the reception are very friendly and caring except some of the life guards. When I went to the hot tub one of the life guards was persumptuous enough to tell me my age and kicked me out of the hot tub. I have been using the hot tub for a whole month and the life guard had seen me countless times using it, but because more kids than usual got in the hot tub he for the first time told me I'm not old enough and kicked me out even though I was at the age required and told him to check my ID. I'm very disappointed about how the life guard operates 😞and I hope this issue gets addressed. I don't want this happening to more people because a nice pool with life guards like that is not...

I canceled my membership and made it clear I didn’t want to be charged again. Despite that, the JCC charged me in June and claimed it was for May. When I pointed out that the charge didn’t even happen in May like they said, suddenly nobody wanted to take responsibility.

Nate and Jocelyn both said they’d call me back — they never did. Just ghosted me.

When I finally spoke with Jessica, the membership manager, she was rude and dismissive. Told me I was “not in the right”… and then issued a refund anyway. So if I was wrong, why give the money back?

This is not how a community center should treat people. Don’t gaslight members, dodge accountability, and quietly refund to cover your tracks.

Save yourself the headache and go literally anywhere else. I wouldn’t trust this place with a recurring payment again if my life...
