UPCOMING HOLIDAY HOURS: Please make note of upcoming schedule changes over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend — the entire Kroc Center will be closed on Thursday, November 25 (Thanksgiving Day). We will have our regular building hours on Friday and Saturday, November 26 & 27, but the regular live group exercise classes on that Friday will be replaced by a special “Turkey Burn Off” from 8:00-11:30 AM. See the Drop-In Recreation Guide for more details.
ARE YOU IN THE ZONE YET? All Kroc Krew members are eligible to participate in the new “Get in the Zone” fitness challenge, designed to orient people to the new Techno Zone equipment and the myKroc Wellness mobile app. If you complete 10 minutes of exercise on each of the new machine types, and upload an InBody scan in the Measurement Center, you could win one of several exciting gift cards! The deadline is Friday, December 17.
GR SYMPHONY CONCERT: The Kroc Center is hosting the Grand Rapids Symphony’s performance of “La Sinfonia Navideña” on Saturday, November 20. Tickets to this concert are free for everyone and can be picked up at the Welcome Desk. Note: The tickets contain text about a vaccination requirement for attendees, but the Symphony has informed us that this is not the case. Only face coverings are required at the event.
