Memphis JCC Hours & Holiday Schedule

Remaining 2026 Holiday Changes

The MJCC also changes hours for Jewish holidays such as Passover, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah. Do not rely on a typical weekday schedule for those dates.

Address, Map & Directions

Memphis Jewish Community Center is located on Poplar Avenue at Aaron Brenner Drive, between Massey Road and Kirby Parkway in East Memphis, close to the Germantown area.

When navigating from Downtown Memphis, Midtown, East Memphis or nearby Germantown, enter the complete street address rather than simply searching “JCC.” Allow additional time for check-in, especially for preschool tours, summer camps, performances and first-time guests.

Programs & Facilities at Memphis JCC

The MJCC is more than a gym. Its services cover recreation, education, arts, culture and social support.

For a comparison with another JCC in Tennessee, our Gordon Jewish Community Center Nashville guide explains its separately managed membership, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness programs and family activities. Memphis and Nashville membership terms are not interchangeable.

Indoor Pool, Outdoor Waterpark & Swimming Programs

Memphis JCC provides indoor aquatic facilities and a seasonal outdoor waterpark. The indoor program includes swim instruction, water fitness, lifeguard training and organized swimming.

Plan Your Swim Visit

1. Choose lap swimming, family recreation, swim lessons or water fitness.
2. Check the official aquatics page and its current indoor or outdoor schedule.
3. Confirm your membership or registration status and any separate lesson cost.
4. For children, ask about age requirements, supervision, swim assessment and immunization rules for enrollment.
5. Bring suitable swimwear and confirm any equipment or locker-room requirements.

For comparison with another Tennessee municipal center offering indoor aquatics, fitness and additional activities, our Sevierville Community Center pool and recreation guide explains its separate daily admission system. Sevierville is in East Tennessee and is not a nearby Memphis alternative.

Fitness Center, Group Classes & Sports

The 24-acre campus offers a large fitness center, racquetball, tennis and pickleball courts, two wood-floor gymnasiums and outdoor sports facilities. Program access and court reservation requirements vary.

J-Fit Functional Training

J-Fit uses movement-based functional training with bodyweight and free-form resistance exercises. The official program page lists $10 per class for members and $20 per class for non-members. These are program-specific prices, not general fitness-center admission fees.

The program contact is Mandy Jenkins, Sports, Fitness and Aquatics, at mjenkins@jccmemphis.org or 901-259-9212.

Youth Sports & Fitness

The MJCC advertises youth sports, fitness classes, gymnastics and athletic skill development for different age groups. Some programs use outside instructors or require additional paperwork.

• Members receive priority registration for youth sports.
• Community participants may register ten days before a program starts.
• Children enrolling in sports, fitness and aquatics programs must meet the center’s immunization requirements.
• Youth gymnastics options include different age and ability levels and may require a separate waiver.
• Always check the exact activity’s age cutoff, schedule, fee and available places.

Preschool, After-School Programs & Summer Camps

Families can use MJCC for early childhood education, youth enrichment, after-school activities and summer camp programming. Each has its own eligibility, timetable and registration process.

Jewish Cultural Programs, Arts & Community Events

Memphis JCC also offers Jewish educational and cultural programs, holiday celebrations, arts, performances and opportunities for families and adults to connect. Some are community-wide events, while others have registration or participation requirements.

• Jewish Life & Learning: educational programs on Jewish values, holidays, Israel and cultural traditions.
• Arts and Theatre: theatre training, performances and artistic programming, including Theatre Conservatory opportunities.
• Adults and Seniors: social, educational, wellness and recreational activities for older adults.
• Family Events: seasonal and holiday activities, workshops and educational gatherings.

Always check whether an event is open to the public, if a ticket is required, whether it is a member benefit and which building or entrance to use.

Readers comparing Jewish education, arts and youth enrichment across JCCs can also review the Oshman Family Jewish Community Center’s preschool, Hebrew and family-program guide. That center operates in Palo Alto and has its own enrollment policies.

Jewish Family Service & Social Support

The Wendy and Avron B. Fogelman Jewish Family Service operates at the MJCC and connects people with social services and other assistance. Its administrative hours are separate from recreational facility hours.

Call the Family Service office directly to explain the kind of support you need and ask about intake, appointments, eligibility and referrals.
