About
The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Grand Rapids, MI, is a state-of-the-art multi-purpose facility offering a wide range of recreational, educational, and spiritual programs for all ages. It features an expansive aquatic center, fitness areas, gymnasiums, a performing arts theater, and various community and educational spaces.
The Kroc Center's lap pool is typically maintained at approximately 80-82°F. The leisure pool, featuring water slides and a lazy river, is generally warmer, usually around 84-86°F. A separate whirlpool/spa is kept at a higher temperature, typically 102-104°F.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The gym generally receives positive feedback for its helpful and friendly staff (with specific mentions of Aloe and Margarita), well-maintained equipment, and a wide variety of facilities including classes (BodyPump, Cycling, Zumba), a walk/run track, a large swimming pool, rock climbing wall, and extensive cardio and free weights. Its convenient local presence and diverse, positive environment are also appreciated, particularly the 'fabulous' pool area. While it can get busy at times, equipment is usually available. However, one negative experience was reported where an older staff member refused to assist a non-member with equipment, causing reconsideration of membership.

I love this gym. The staff is helpful if you need something and the equipment is well-maintained. It can get busy at times, but the equipment you wish to use is usually available.

This place has everything you need for a good workout! BodyPump, Cycling and Zumba classes with a walk/run track, a huge swimming pool area, rock climb wall plus lots of cardio machines and free weights! 🏋🏾♂️😃 Aloe at the front desk is a ray of sunshine! 🌞 Love this place well, I loved it until last Thursday 2/14 I had a bad experience with one of the older ladies upstairs. Basically, she didn’t want to show us how to use a machine unless I was a member which sucks! Now, I’m contemplating if I really want to join! 😒🤦🏾♀️🤷🏽♀️🤪
