This place is a must come for every person in the south bend area. I went here with my friends for a birthday party and I want to come back every day. Tommy the life guard is the best employee that has ever walked this earth. He gave me a high five and let me and my friends go to spots when we are not aloud into them. They had the best chili dogs and every one should eat them. There was an awesome employee named Miguel and he helped me find my phone when it was lost. There was another guy named Trent and he was the best rock wall guy, he put a bag of chalk on my side so I could get a good grip. By remembering the power of Trent a manage to go up a crazy amount. I loved the game room with the awesome racing game. There was amazing games in the game room. It was an amazing experience and I would come back every single day! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars. UPDATE I just went to the bathroom after I ate the chili dog from the vending machine, it is a price to pay. It tasted good but the aftermath was something. It mad the experience a once in a life time. 5.1 stars for the unique experience.

Tommy the lifeguard is the best PERSON I have ever met. He was the nicest person at the Kroc. He gave me and my friends high fives, and was super nice. He showed me and my friends around and he showed a heart symbol to me. He was super nice and I think he should be employee of the month.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?????

They have too many rules for the kids swimming area they are constantly yelling at the children to stop playing they can’t run in the water they can’t jump around in the kid pool. You can’t have your child in a life jacket with you in the deeper part of the pool. My 6 year old who can go on amusement park roller coasters and Farris wheels or water park giant water slides that I’m to afraid to go on was told she couldn’t slide down their water slide. They have seat looking things in the kiddie pool but the kids were yelled at to not mess with them. It is a horrible place and they ruined my kids birthday party. It’s 15.00 per adult EVEN IF YOU ARENT SWIMMING. I will not be taking my kids back to the Kroc center ever again

This is the best place! Tommy the lifeguard would always give us high-fives and make me smile. I highly recommend this place and make sure to give a high five to Tommy the lifeguard! Tommy should also win employee of the century.

We enjoy using the Kroc center. Overall, it's a great place to exercise, climb and be in community. That said, they are quite bad at communication. They have an app but they don't use it for communication as much as they could. Often classes are cancelled but we don't find out until we drive there. They have some weird hangups regarding people using the outdoor soccer field. Sometimes they let people play sometimes they don't (for liability issues?? Who knows). Again, overall we love the place but not without significant frustrations with everyday management.

Horrible experience at the Kroc Center of South Bend today. I'm using two pieces of equipment, one being the Smith machine. A personal trainer comes upstairs with a client and asks who's using the Smith machine. I say very nicely, "I am, she proceeds to rudely tell me, we're gonna take it now because we need it." That's very bad gym etiquette. You could ask nicely if you guys could use it, instead of telling me you're taking it. A similar situation has happened to me a couple times in the past, it's not the first time. I've been coming here for years. I'm a personal, group trainer and sports performance coach at a private facility. I would never treat anyone like this at any gym. Not happy with how I was treated today.

I have really enjoyed this place, great place to work out, but are you allowed to use the soccer field without a membership?

I think the only good part of this gym is the workout area. Everything else I was very disappointed in. Pool has very limited hours. And they limit them even more every time they do private classes or something similar. Also, for mama's that take their kids. They don't allow you to take pictures in the pool area. Also, courts are pretty much used up. Classes that they offer for one to sign up are horrible atleast in my opinion. I've signed up for a couple and each time I had to ask around to ask where it was taking place and it was hard to get a firm answer. When I was able to find a class I showed up a little early to let the trainer know I was new but no one was there. When they did show up they acted as I'd I wasn't even there. I did not feel welcomed at all. Every person knew what they were doing and the coach didn't bother to help. She was just doing her own thing. I honestly just walked out and didn't bother to sign up for another class. Daycare closes from 1-4 M-T and they close at 1 Friday as well.

I am not going to recommend this place unless it's worth it for you to have a membership. The day passes are not worth the time it takes to fill out every thing you have to fill out especially when the pool is down for cleaning and the gymnasium is too full to use not to mention the blonde white lady at the front desk will not let you bring anyone who's name isn't on your membership even if the other people on your membership are not there, and when asked about what other services they served she acted inconvenienced by the question and just stated the obvious and was not helpful whatsoever. Over all if you go on a good day when it's not crowded and there are good people working it's an enjoyable place but every other day it would be more worth it to go somewhere else. If you take anything away from this review it should be that I just did not appreciate the woman at the front desk I'm not sure If I just got her on an off day, but stopping us to ask a bunch of questions when she didn't stop anybody else and make us pay $15 (even though I had a membership) for an hour visit to the pool that couldn't even be enjoyed because the pool was closed. So don't even think about bringing friends unless you want to spend an hour filling out paperwork and paying for something you already are paying for. I rate the Kroc center 4 stars because it's is a good place but this women made me so mad it wasn't even worth it

Great place for the price. I love the lazy river to walk in. It's a little pricey for guest passes though, so like I couldn't bring my grandkids, at $11 each that'd be a weeks worth of food but for my husband and I it works!

Always clean, friendly staff. The aqua center needs to be open earlier

The staff members are usually unhelpful and don’t value their clientele. If you’re looking for a good experience all round this is definitely not the gym for you.Also carefully read their membership policy before you sign up. There are quite a number of predatory loopholes to prevent you from closing your membership.

Kroc Center is possibly the greatest thing to happen to the west side community. With all the poverty, crime and violence in our neighborhoods, Kroc provides options for families in need as well as those looking for things to do as a family or just to give the kids something to do to stay off the streets.They have Salvation Army rental and utility assistance, and a food pantry. They have an indoor pool for the community that also offers swimming lessons. One of my favorite offerings is the recording studio for those looking to make their first demo or just to make a recording to show off to their friends and family. There are more services and activities available. But I haven't had a chance to find out about everything yet. I can't say enough good about this place.
