Reviews
They have a few options for the community that spark my interest. Absolutely loved the cherry blossom trees.
NECC is wonderful. They are family friendly, community based and I feel supported there. They have been amazing through this pandemic. We are excited about there fun kids camps and getting back into the gym.
What a wonderful community center. Note that it is a private membership center for the community, and not connected to Portland Parks and Rec They offer fitness rooms, classes in everything from yoga to adult ballet, a wide variety of youth programs, and extra activities such as craft fair and evening events with speakers from the community. Indoor heated pool, too! Now this is a community center, it is not a fancy gym but it is affordable, clean, and the staff are friendly. My kids have sharpened their bike riding and swimming skills, and gained confidence, through the classes offered at NECC.
This experience was horrible aside from the instructor being friendly. The facility was very old and not up to standards of cleanliness. The floor felt like slime and the hot room was unbearable. The floor felt like slime, there was rust in the pool area and the pictures online were absolutely edited or from somewhere else. When I politely explained this wouldn’t work for us I was met with rudeness, attitude and no accommodation from the “manager” working today at 3pm My son did not feel comfortable alone and because it was completely up to him to keep himself from falling in his very first lesson, while the teacher was 4 children away I had to sit on the side of the pool the whole time because it did not seem safe. The condition of this building and pool is absolutely repulsive and the “manager” working Tuesday at 3pm is not any better. Spare your children and yourself and NEVER come here.
This center really knows how to go above and beyond. The facility is clean and the staff is friendly! The indoor pool is perfect for Portland's rainy weather and is a great addition to the neighborhood. I love their large gymnasim where ceiling to floor mirrors line the wall and are great for any aerobic and dance class. The prices aren't asking too much for monthly memberships. I love the local aspect and that when you go you see a lot of the families from your block!
I had a bad experience with Northeast Community Center. I signed my child up for swim lessons there. We’ve used Portland Parks & Rec in the past but Northeast Community Center is closer to where we live so I thought we’d give it a try. We had a miscommunication with the staff and we put my son in a level that was too challenging for him. We told them we didn’t feel comfortable continuing with the class but they said they couldn’t switch him and our only option was to continue the class. I asked for an account credit so we could sign him up for the next session of lessons, and they said no. Terrible customer service.
I called in and spoke with a very nice woman who gave me details about membership 52.00 per month and free child watch. The child watch was the biggest draw for me because I need to be able to bring my children. I drove down and filled out an application, waited about 15 minutes before someone could help me. Then they told me that they are no longer including child watch in their membership and children must be members before they can be watched. So that bumps it up to 65.00 a month. I wish that had been communicated more clearly either on the phone or on their website so that I wouldn't have wasted my time and could have come in more informed. All in all I think that it's cheaper than 24 hour fitness so I will probably join. I'm just not happy about the lack of knowledge of staff and communication. For a community center, they don't do a stellar job at keeping it affordable for the community. Also the parking situation isn't that great so consider that as well. UPDATE: Just spoke with someone at 24 hour fitness and the cost breakdown is 24.99 for your first child 19.99 for any subsequent children. This is for unlimited child care. And membership was quoted at 39.99 a month so the community center for me with two kids is only 20.00 less a month. It really boils down to how many kids you have and the classes available. If you don't have kids 24 hour fitness is cheaper than the community center for the monthly fee. I know 24 hour fitness has a lot of class options that aren't available at the community center. There is an initiation fee at 24 hour fitness which varies according to their promotions so dumb! The community center has no initiation fee but you must be a member for a minimum of 3 months before you are allowed to cancel. Hope my review helps any parents who are trying to compare gyms in the area.
The place is amazing. Been there four years, and almost exclusively swim; the pool is arthritis rated, which means a bit warm for most. But for those with joint or muscle issues, it's a dream. The activities, the facility, and the community camaraderie feels like another planet away from the city and the traffic and the hustle to nothing. The seniors take adventures in nature, culture, history, or entertainment once a month, besides the regular programs of fitness they have shared with each other for years. The childcare is a dream; I'd like to sneak in and check out the different stories of the play gym some time. The kids always come out calm and enjoying each other. The variety of fitness activities included with membership for adults can't be beat. The lobby hosts art shows, there are frequent reasons for cupcakes or fruit plates and some kind of celebration. Despite the constant activity there is always enough room and time to access the class or the facility feature you want. The building itself is a treasure; it is 100 years old, and the gym is used two or three times a year by film crews. Once a month, there is a family swim movie night; they project G rated favorites on the pool walls, throw all the float devices in, and then the kids and families hang in the pool for a flick! Yeah it's that cool. A family could pretty easily fulfill most of their activity and entertainment needs for the year at NECC on a very affordable budget. Here is the announcement for the current executive director coming on board. She has done nothing but improve things in the last two years. "She seems an ideal fit as a marathon runner, tennis player and Ironman Triathalon participant. As an attorney, she has volunteered with Elders in Action, the Senior Law Project, and other activities. She was most recently executive director of Do Jump Theatre. " What can you say. NECC is a phenomenon!
A great community center that offers a wealth of activities and facilities, from the swimming pool to yoga classes, this is a location that really seems to do what it intends, and brings the community together. There is a great vibe here, and a positive experience worth sharing.
Love this place. They have an amazing daycare with creative and intelligent staff, and my daughter and I are always greeted at the front desk like they've known us forever. Highly recommended.
