NEW YEAR SCHEDULE CHANGES: We continue to do our best to expand the level of service we can provide our members with our current staffing amid a COVID pandemic that shows few signs of letting up. So, we are pleased to be able to make the following changes to our schedules starting Monday, January 3:
-
- The Kroc Center will open at 5:30 AM Monday–Friday (currently 6:00 AM).
- Child Watch service will be available on Saturday mornings, 8:30-10:30 AM (note this is a change from what was originally shared).
More information is available in the Winter 1 Drop-In Recreation Guide, which is available at the Welcome Desk and online at GrKrocCenter.org
$0 REGISTRATION MEMBERSHIP PROMOTION: Do you know someone looking to start their wellness journey in 2022? We’re helping to make things simple by waiving the registration fee on all NEW memberships for a limited time. That’s up to a $50 value! And, there’s never a long-term contract at the Kroc, so it’s easier than ever to Get Into It. See the Welcome Desk or GrKrocCenter.org for more details and to sign up.
WINTER 2 PROGRAM SESSION: Information and registration for our Winter 2 program session can be found throughout the Kroc Center or at GrKrocCenter.org. Below are important dates to remember:
-
- Registration Opens: January 10, 2022
- Registration Deadline: February 15, 2022

KROC START NEW MEMBER ONBOARDING: Starting this month, we will be launching a plan called “Kroc Start” that aims to help new members learn about all the things available at the Kroc Center and get involved in their first three months, in the hope that they will see better results and keep their membership longer. This is a huge team effort with Membership, Marketing, and Fitness, and will hopefully expand to involve more areas of the Kroc over time. Some of the key elements include a revamped orientation process, integration of the myKroc Wellness app and cloud platform, and a 90-day Kroc Start wellness challenge. Be on the lookout for more information about these things as we head into the new year!
REMINDERS OF THE WEEK: Here are some of the topics you can expect to be covered at daily morning and afternoon huddle meetings…
-
- CUSTOMER SERVICE FOCUS: Key #4 – Appearance
- SAFETY: Medical Care for Employees
- CORE VALUE: We value a thriving community. The Kroc Center cultivates a sense of place that bonds people together and makes our whole neighborhood stronger.

Current openings include: Lifeguard; Welcome Desk Lead; Group Exercise Instructor; Fine Arts Instructor; Music Instructor; Recreation Program Manager; General Manager.
LIFEGUARD TRAINING: In light of our current lifeguard needs, and in recognition of the roughly 40 hours of training required for new hires, we are instituting a new program, effective immediately.
