Kaiserman JCC to Eliminate All Fitness Classes
L OCA L
JARRAD SAFFREN | JE STAFF
THE KAISERMAN JCC
hasn’t yet decided whether to
eliminate fi tness as part of its
business model entirely.

But it is getting rid of
personal training and all 11 of
its fi tness classes.

All but two of those
programs have been virtual
since the pandemic broke out
in March 2020. Only a Sunday
boot camp workout, focused on
cardio and strength training,
and a Saturday dance party
were running in person.

Kaiserman’s summer off er-
ings will fi nish their season,
ending Sept. 4.

Th e fi tness programs have
been losing money, according
to CEO Alan Scher. Last week,
he saw two people in a class.

He acknowledged that number
is pretty standard at this point.

“We’re ending this virtual
suite of programs that started
with the pandemic,” Scher
said. “Th ere’s an opportunity
to refresh.”
But for the new leader, who
started July 1, the question
remains: Refresh to what?
Pre-pa ndemic,
t he
Wynnewood facility off ered
50 fi tness classes, youth sports
programs, personal training,
a gym, basketball courts and
a pool. Aft er Sept. 4, though,
only some youth programs,
the courts and the pool will
remain available.

“As a non-profi t organiza-
tion, we make decisions about
where our resources go based
on how much impact we can
make with them,” Scher wrote

To live here is to live in harmony.
