News
Based on community feedback, we’re happy to announce several changes that should simplify your fitness facility access at Bernard Horwich JCC in W. Rogers Park. Beginning in just a few weeks, you’ll need only your new JCC Chicago membership card to navigate throughout the building, including the men’s and women’s workout areas and weight room. The locker rooms will no longer require any swipe for entry, and will be open and accessible. Work on the improvements will begin tomorrow and should be completed by the end of the month.
