Welcome to The J – The Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City

An All-Ages Gym, Fitness Center, Aquatic Center, and Youth Sports All in One Place

The Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City – or simply, The J – has been a part of the KC community since we originally opened in 1914. Located in the heart of Overland Park, The J has since expanded its footprint and the variety of programs, services, and attractions we offer to our members and guests.

With more than 32,000 square feet of additional space after our recent renovation, The J is one of the largest community centers in the city in terms of sheer size and what we can offer to KC-area residents.

Some of the most notable amenities and activities we have at The J include:  

  • Expansive mixed-use gym space
  • State-of-the-art fitness center and gym with childcare
  • Adult and youth sports
  • Aquatic center featuring indoor and outdoor pools
  • Professional-grade turf fields
  • A wide array of all-ages programs and classes
  • Programs and activities for seniors
  • Arts, culture, and community theater
  • An accredited child development center

Whether you’re looking to improve your health and fitness, get your kids involved in team sport, or indulge in some local arts and culture – The J has something for everyone. We keep our calendar dynamic with several specialty programs, events, and seasonal activities for all ages and interests.

Although we’ve made a lot of recent renovations at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City, what hasn’t changed at The J is our mission – to enrich our diverse community by cultivating an inclusive environment built upon Jewish values, heritage, and culture.

Maximize Your Experience at The J with a Membership

Guests of all ages can access The J for a nominal daily fee, but members get to experience every perk and benefit of our recently renovated community center. As a member of The J, you’ll have full access to our fitness center, aquatic center, gym with childcare, programs, classes, and more.

The best way to learn about what The J has to offer our members is by scheduling an in-person tour so we can show you around. Your spare time is valuable, so our Membership Team will ask about what you’re hoping to see and do during your time at The J. This is also your chance to ask questions and learn a little more about our community center.

  • Learn more about group fitness classes at our fitness center, adult and youth sports, personal training, and the aquatic center
  • Get a preview of what’s coming to The White Theatre - The J’s very own community theater
  • Learn about events that we host for children and families of all ages throughout the year
  • Check out our gym with childcare, the perfect fitness solution for parents with a packed schedule
  • Hear about community center amenities and activities that are exclusive to The J and their members

We offer memberships for individuals, couples, seniors, full-time college students, and our ever-popular family gym membership. We also offer employee memberships for local companies in the greater Kansas City area at a discount.
