Before going to the Kroc Center, remember that daily theft, rude workers and unsanitary playing spaces are what you should look forward to. It all started when I went to the pool at 6:30, paying $7.50 to stay until 8:30, when the pool closed. I swam for a good thirty minutes before my friends and I decided to go get a snack from the vending machine. We stepped outside and was immediately cornered by a worker who forced us to put on shoes, so we went back into the locker room, put on our shoes and a shirt to cover our bathing suits. We went into the lobby where the vending machines were located and got our snacks. The rule is that you cant bring food past the lobby so we sat there eating until a Mexican lady at the front desk yelled at us saying we were dripping on the floors and that we needed to get back into the pool and also complained about us "not having on clothes" while there were teenage boys on the other side of the lobby wearing no shirts and basketball shorts. Me being me, I snuck my cookie into the girls locker room and went back to the pool. When I got there, the main pool had been roped off for "laps". It was only about 7:45 and the pool closed at 8:30. We tried to go in there but the lifeguard kept yelling at us saying if we were in there we had to be swimming laps. When we paid $7.50 for OPEN SWIM, they didnt say anything about closing the pool off early for laps and its also not on the schedule they have posted online. We stayed in the hot tub until it was time to get picked up. Once we went in the locker room, i decided to change in the bathroom, until I saw that the toilets looked and smelled disgusting. I ended up changing behind the lockers. I made a mistake and left my bikini top in there bathing suit dryer they have, and when I came to pick it up the next day, a different Mexican lady told me to check the lost and found in the gym. I went down there and found nothing. Ill never be going back to the Kroc Center again.

This facility is by far the best facility in Grand Rapids without a doubt! I will continue to go to the Kroc everyday of my life. The staff is amazing, friendly, fun, and very helpful. The Kroc, in my opinion, is very affordable, and if it is a bit extra I know that extra money spent is well worth it. The facility is spotless and always clean (one of the main reasons why I enjoy it). The weight room is very big and has a friendly environment with all the people that I have met, I have made some real strong and good relationships. If you had a question or needed a spot, 100% of the time someone will always be there to lend a helping hand and give personal advice. I love the Kroc!! I enjoy going and meeting new people who look forward to making fitness and nutrition a hobby, lifestyle, and apart of their lives daily. #ForeverKrocMember

The facility is very impressive, offers great exercise equipment that is well maintained, and both indoor pool & outdoor splash pads are a ton of fun for families w/ kids! My kids LOVE to play on the outdoor playground as it has challenging equipment and places to run around + places for parents to sit in the shade. Ive always been treated very well by the staff. I successfully brought a group of over 50 kids as a church group, and we were handled quite well, the swim party was a blast, and they want to go back again! Highly recommend.

I brought my young kids to the Kroc Center this past weekend so they could play in the pool. They had a GREAT time! My 3 year old was shaking with excitement when he saw the waterpark (it is an impressive setup!) The price was great and pool area was so much fun. The pool was clean and was staffed by many lifeguards. We all had a good time and plan on going back soon! You should check it out, this place is a bargain compared to other water parks!

After my wallet and cell phone were stolen from my (unlocked) locker, I found out that theft was almost a daily occurence at the Kroc center. Yes, my fault for leaving it unlocked, but when a problem becomes known to the facility, it becomes the responsibility of the facility to educate members and take measures to help protect. Neither of those those were done. Also, the pool hours are dissapointing.

Ive been here since they first opened up, it was great the staff was great, the price just went up, over all my favorite gym the thing I didnt really appreciate was the fact that I tried paying my fee on the day it was due. and they wouldnt take my payment (the day it was due).. they almost double the price, so pay up days before its due if not youll get your money taken away lol..

We will never return. First time visiting and we were very rudely talked to by main office guy in gym! First time visiting and rules should be explained! Threats made by attending in gym....place needs to work on customer service skills.

Wonderful. Clean, well maintained, friendly staff, and about 1/5 the cost of any other similar water experience. My three grandkids and I spent less than the admission to just about any other water park offering less amenities.

I like going to Salvation Army you can do a lot of things,but it is very expensive!my daughter and I like to go swimming there.the people there are very helpful when you need help.

This is just such a fun place to take the kids to swim and play. We try to treat our family to one or two months of membership per year and its always a great experience.
