What Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center does

The Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center (APJCC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community center founded in 1973 and operated as a program of Jewish Silicon Valley. It is headquartered on a single campus at 14855 Oka Road in Los Gatos, California, where it serves primarily the Los Gatos and broader Silicon Valley Jewish community while remaining open to people of all faiths, backgrounds, and abilities. The center functions as a multi-program community hub anchored by a Fitness Center (weights, cardio, sauna, steam room), an Aquatics Center with a year-round 82°F heated pool, indoor and outdoor tennis and pickleball courts, indoor basketball courts, a Pilates studio with reformers, group fitness studios offering 50+ weekly classes (Zumba, HIIT, spin, yoga, barre), and adjacent wellness services including massage therapy, nutrition coaching, and facials. Family and youth programming — APJCC Preschool (approximately 120 children, ages 18 months to 5 years), Camp Shalom summer day camp, youth swim team, swim lessons, dance academy, and adaptive training for individuals with disabilities — round out the programming surface.

The APJCC monetizes through five primary revenue streams: recurring membership dues (the core subscription product granting access to fitness, aquatics, group fitness, and amenities), program fees (swim lessons, preschool, camp, dance), fee-for-service personal training and small-group training (with disclosed rates of $65-$110 per individual session and $160-$180 per month for inclusive group classes), tax-deductible donations via Blackbaud-powered giving pages, and facility rentals through the parent Jewish Silicon Valley event-rentals program. Distribution is exclusively physical-campus based, with a small virtual overlay (nutrition coaching via Zoom, an APJCC mobile app on ABC Fitness infrastructure). Marketing runs through the apjcc.org website, Constant Contact email, Facebook and Instagram organic social, Eventbrite ticketing, a $100 refer-a-friend program, text alerts, and an annual Summer Program Guide flip-book. Leadership comprises Daniel Klein (CEO of parent Jewish Silicon Valley, appointed 2023), Bill Marzolla (Director of Fitness and Membership), Stephanie Bloom (Sports and Fitness Director), and Katie Reese (Group Fitness Manager); the organization employs 101-250 staff and has no outside investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity on record.
