Students, ages 6 to 15 years, are taught various safety skills and are assessed as they move through each level. Some students may remain at one level for multiple sessions while they master the skills. Kroc instructors will make swimming lessons fun as they help students develop swimming skills and self-confidence! AQKC0314

It’s never too late to learn to swim or improve your skills! Lessons for ages 16+ are adapted to your starting level to help you become the swimmer you want to be. AQSK0314

AndyMember Since

August 2013

MarthaMember Since August 2012

When Andy joined the Kroc Center last year, he jumped right into boot camp. Now he’s 30 pounds lighter and a whole lot happier!

“In August, I joined The Kroc Center’s 6-week bootcamp program,” said Andy, “and quickly lost 10 pounds.”

After his positive experience in bootcamp, Andy’s confidence grew and he decided to continue his journey with the new program, Mission Slim-Possible, where he successfully lost 20 more pounds.

“The trainers are always smiling and they greet you

by your name!”Andy credits Kroc Center trainers for helping him during his weight loss journey, noting how their advice for cardio and handling weights correctly really helped him out.

In addition to working with Kroc Center personal trainers, he appreciates the instruction on nutrition they provide to help form healthy habits.

When asked what sets the Kroc Center apart from other gyms, Andy replied “Definitely the staff. The trainers are always smiling and they greet you by your name!”

Mission Slim-Possible winner, Martha, joined the Kroc Center with her family after years away from any fitness center.

Martha had been losing weight and riding her bike for awhile, but her weight loss had plateaued and her aches, pains and lack of endurance became increasingly frustrating.

“Now I feel better and have fewer aches and pains, and

more energy!”Mission Slim-Possible helped Martha recommit to losing weight and getting fit, provided accountability, and encouraged her to participate in group fitness classes that, according to her, she would never have tried before.

“I attribute winning to strict calorie-counting, lots of exercise (I love the Les Mills™ RPM™ class) and a supportive family. I feel much better now that I have fewer aches and pains and more energy.”

Martha’s tips for success: “Set S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely) goals. If you falter, get right back on track. And keep moving!”

Veggies are usually steamed or boiled, so roasting is often forgotten. Roasting caramelizes the natural

sugars in vegetables and enhances flavor. Root vegetables, often

thought of as a boring winter vegetable, are transformed by a simple roasting. Adding a liquid such as stock, wine or fruit juice enhances the flavor even more! For details, visit the
