For those looking to not only get in better physical shape in 2015, but also strengthen their mind, body and spirit, look no further than The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in North Philadelphia.

Since opening its doors in November 2010, The Salvation Army Kroc Center has made a world of difference to the community in a short period of time. Reaching 10,000 members in its first two years, the center is truly unlike any other neighborhood fitness facility.

"What I love about the center is that it's a one-stop shop," said Fitness Manager Shavonne Murphy, who's been with The Salvation Army Kroc Center since shortly after its grand opening. "When we say 'no more excuses,' it's true this time. We're not just about fitness – we offer a host of other benefits that appeal to the modern working parent."

In the New Year when many of us are getting back in shape and setting new goals, here's something new to try if you're not a gym junkie: The Salvation Army Kroc Center offers specialized group classes for those looking for a guided fitness experience but don't like the intimidation of large classes. Small Group Training programs offer fitness classes for groups of 4-8 adults, for more individualized instruction at an affordable price. Buddy training is also available, and classes include WOW (Women's Only Workout), Extreme H2O, "Absolute Grit" and "The Kettlebell 'Hates' You!" among other unique focus areas.

In addition to more than 70 different workout classes that are included with membership, an indoor water park, an Olympic size competition pool and much more, The Salvation Army Kroc Center offers benefits for parents including Play Care and after school programs for children.

The Salvation Army Kroc Center's staff is dedicated to providing a quality experience in a welcoming place where people of all ages and backgrounds can thrive. The center provides a safe, healthy environment for after school activities and a relaxed, non-judgmental culture for exercise at the fitness center and welcomes members of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, income levels and religions.

And all this comes at an affordable price. Plan a visit today and take advantage of the current "$15 in '15" promotion, which offers new members a special deal of just $15 to cover the enrollment fee and first month's membership.
