The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Center Review

I love this place. There are so many things going on, from basketball games, volleyball games, line dancing, Zumba, rock climbing and indoor swimming on what looks like a waterpark with a huge water slide. They even have a full-sized, raised boxing ring and weighted bags. It's a great place to work out and exercise

Best place to go to church and learn more about God

This center is really nice. So much is offered here. Basketball, track, music, cooking, dance, boxing. Enrolled my son in Phx suns Jr. Basketball. Plan to enroll in other activities going forward.

I've seen reviews by others with bad customer service experience, which is interesting and clearly not the norm as I haven't had it happen yet and I've been going several weeks now. Not to say it doesn't happen, but I'm wondering if their is a particular person or just bad days.

This is a good place to go although they need better organization when it comes to the staff team. besides that it's nice and chill

Fun and clean environment. Lots of classes and activities for kids and adults. Fitness classes, ballet, boxing, swim, cooking. Kids love it here. If you sign up for classes its cheaper if you have a membership.

Nice facility. Pretty expensive to get in for a youth basketball tournament though.

The people there were awesome. Gloria was very sweet and very helpful!!!

The Kroc Center is one of the most eventful and family friendly places I've ever been to. The facility is wonderfully created to accommodate hundreds of people and do the most good for families.

I like that it is clean, the pool is nice, and the lazy river is really nice for resistance training. Only thing I would fix is the fact that they don't have a swimsuit dryer in the locker rooms. I will talk to management and see what we need to do to get one because it really is a necessity.

Love all the classes they offer for kids. The indoor pool is so much fun!

They have a great facility, very clean and a lot of activities for kids and adults. Also they have a great sports program. The director of Athletics "Tory" is awesome,very attentive, fair and very knoweldable

Very reasonable membership fees for the facility and various services available. Place is always clean and safe. Staff is friendly.

Wonderful place that provides recreation for the south Phoenix youth.

The prices are ridiculous... u have to sign a contract... the facility sits on an ugly part of Broadway rd.... nothing pretty bought that particular area... welcome to the poor side with an expensive facility that for sure no family on that block can afford.

I went on the tour to decide whether I wanted to sign up for a membership. I had called in and received a quote but I wanted to take a tour and see if what was offered justified the cost. I have to say that I was impressed with the facilities & the friendly, knowledgeable staff. This center has so much to offer on a daily basis. I just kept thinking about how I couldn't wait to bring my children here so I took a brochure for us all to look through. From the indoor swimming pool to the rock climbing to the basketball courts to...my very favorite...the boxing gym upstairs I know my family & I will be enjoying this center for a long time to come. There are regular memberships & also scholarships, as long as funding is available, for low income families.

Great place to get fit and very nice.parking can be difficult during tournaments but it's a great place I honestly wish there was one near my house

Cool pool and slide we all love the water slides and the gym

I'm not entirely sure exactly what all that they offer, I was here for a meeting and was totally impressed with how much this facility appears to offer. It's clean attractive and huge. The pool area looked extremely inviting.

Every day color tag for 1 $ on clothes - good quality items - above all the staff. Beyond polite, friendly and helpful. It s so nice to enter in and to be greeted by genuine smiles and good vibes! Guys you are the best! Thank you!

Friendly staff. Great instructors. Lots and lots of exercise equipment. Pool friendly. I give it a 5-star rating.

Yep! Yep! Yep! Take your kids here to swim in their indoor waterpark and have a GREAT time!

My sons and I had a good time here. There are a lot of pool facilities for young kids and the pool basketball area was cool. But the adult area is kind of small and they wouldn't allow my 9 and 11 year old sons in the hot tub. My sons love the hot tub. You have to be 12 or older. But we still had a good time swimming and tossing the basketball around in the pool.

Great family facility, love the child watch , camp Kroc is so fun for the kids , safe environment, clean, and excellent public resources !!!

salvation army its amazing for all familys especially because they have fun And theres lots of activities such as:gym pool And play rooms for them having fun when your at the gym baseball etc.

Awesome place with lots of programs for the community.

Huge, clean, indoor pool, they have a boxing room with a boxing ring. Incredible building that brings light to the neighborhood.

Very crowded. Not enough seating or handicap parking.

Staff is very nice and knowledgeable. They took time to explain the difference between memberships.

This is a great community ran outreach/program, organization with a lot of opportunities for the youth in the community to get involved! Definitely a success driven mission for the youth! Love it!

It a full package, they have alot of things to structure ones mind and ones physical body.

The pool should be bigger but it has the perfect balance of chlorine to not sting your eyes. And it offers perfect in pool fitness course. Only draw back is it has no sauna just a Jacuzzi.

Went to a volleyball tournament for my kid there. Nice facility.

They need more time for just the kids to play the kids always have to be with an adult like really your better off going to a gym honestly!!

Pool fun for the kids and great sauna for the adults

I attended for a volunteer event and it was a very big spacious place.

I would give zero stars if I could. The staff is not meant to be around children. My daughters volleyball tournament was held here this morning and I was told that I could not eat my protein bar in the gym. I quickly put it away and apologized but before I could swallow what was in my mouth I was approached by Mrs. Wood's which repeated to me that I could not eat in the gym. I told her I put it away and that I was already told. She proceeded to get in my personal space and threaten to kick my 11 year old daughter out of the gym! She chased me out of the gym and continued to shout in my face. I apologized numerous times as she continued to scold me for the food that had now been thrown in the garbage. This was a power trip of epic proportions. Not to mention I saw dozens of people eating pretzels and sandwiches througout the event. After she attacked me, she kicked another mom out for spilled coffee that wasn't hers then threatened to call the cops. To top it all off she was yelling at the children because they were jumping.....this is volleyball, they jump.

I respect that there is nothing allowed in the gym, which is why I quickly put the bar away. But in everyone's defense, most gyms are not that strict about protein bars or quick food as the girls and parents sometimes have very little time to fuel up.

This was a pathetic example of community and communication. This woman was screaming at kids for being kids and abusing her authority with adults over minor issues. Her threatening to call 911 over coffee is abusing resources needed for important matters. I would not feel safe having my kids here again. If I am forced to be at this location for another volleyball event, I will be very uncomfortable.

The staff is friendly. The building and equipment is clean and updated. Nice atmosphere all around.

This place is suppose help out the community but instead steals from low income family s . Chelsea Does not return phone calls, I bet these reviews were written by staff members

Very kind to facilitate cultural workshops. Very clean and the staff was helpful. The premises we're impressive and everything looked new.

I have always had a great experience coming here and have had the opportunity to work at events held in the auditorium. They take care of their facility very well, they have a friendly staff, and there seems to be quote a lot to do there for the whole family. I'm sure you have to pay for everything but once never done anything else there. If it wasn't so far from home I would probably take my family.

This place is a beautiful work of art as a community center. My daughter loves this place! I dont know why I haven't purchased a membership yet!

This place is awesome, have lots of fun activities, clean and friendly staff

I love it there I have a been a member there 50 years

Good staff amazing basketball players well deserved of a 5 star amazing

They barely have gym equipment and if they do its always taken

They have great staff, it is a very family friendly place Love all the fitness teachers my favorite are Zumba pound and strength training!!! awesome place to go exercise and have fun at the same time!!!

Fantastic place for fun family activities. Get your dreaded work out in all while having fun with the whole family! Indoor and outdoor activities for all sizes. Group activities including dance classes for different age groups, sports games, play ground for the little ones and much more! Facilities are very well kept.

Not very happy with the gym. Paying $59 for 2 adults and 2 children. As of June I have to pay $2 ea child ea time I go to the gym, that comes up very pricey for their care center. For the amount of times I go to the gym it will cost me $25 addtl a week which comes up to $159 a month. This is supposed to be a community salvation army gym. This is rediculous. I will be canceling my membership.

I like it Good For The Body Exercise It Good Thank You

It is a place where people come to relax and be ejersisio

Very nice and clean place. The indoor water park is awesome to take the kids to in the summer.

This is an amazing place for the kid's and mom's lop

Woman at the information desk was rude, when we asked questions her answers were vague, and said just look at the brochure, the only time she was nice was to ask if we wanted a membership but when we asked if we could look around before we decide she said no

It did look nice and clean
