Fitness at the J

#GetFit at the J!

The J has something for everyone to get fit! From the largest fitness center on Mercer Island and our various courts, to our large selection of fitness classes, our fitness staff can help you find the best way to #GetFit.


Marchโ€™s theme is โ€œBe Happy, Move Happyโ€ or the Hebrew phrase ืฉึดื‚ืžึฐื—ึธื” ื‘ึทึผืชึฐึผื ื•ึผืขึธื” (Simchah ba-T’nuah). The Talmud states, โ€œWhen Adar enters, joy increases,โ€ making it a special time of year for increased happiness and good luck. Just like we do in the celebration of Purim, weโ€™re promoting fun โ€” but through exercise and movement, which boosts endorphins, improves confidence and cognition, and reduces stress and anxiety. Movement is our medicine, for both the body and the brain. Keep an eye out for special March programming, including high-energy workouts, mindfulness opportunities, fun in the pool and a few exciting upgrades around the J.
