Southdale YMCA,

"Super nice people working (out) there! Liked the pool a lot. I agree that this facility is a little outdated but who cares. Works great for what I need from a gym:)"

"The Front Desk Staff at the YMCA here are amazing, kind and helpful. Many different questions are asked and they always try to help. I used to work there, I was the white woman Ms. Malam is referring to. I remember clearly the interaction because I spoke to her first and stated that there were no sales people here and it’s against policy to let non-members into the facility. I repeated it several times that I was sorry but there are no sales people here. Josh (well-respected, well-liked, long-term employee, helps everyone that he can) backed me as I was observing that she would not accept my answer. And he did. Calmly, informatively and clearly. Ms. Malam returned to express more displeasure especially at Josh. I said he was just informing you. And she again left. I’m sure it was frustrating to sign up then not get in (technology has its limitations) it was clear that was the expectation to use the facility (even if you don’t have a membership?) We did our best as everyone always does there. Some days you’re tired some days not. But the intention is always there to be of service."

"Clean, modern looking facility with friendly staff and quite a few different fitness spaces. Quite a bit of cardio equipment as well as egym strength which is cool. I do wish they more racks and overall free weight options - maybe add some Hammer Strength racks and plate loaded equipment. Overall the facility was not overcrowded at 6am when I worked out. Good variety of exercisers young and old. Would definitely recommended to a friend"

"Staff is great, especially the daycare. One of the few gyms I've seen with good hours for daycare. Freeweight gym area isn't big but not small. Has sports for youth to compete in for first time and try out to see what they like."

"This has got to be the trashiest YMCA I have ever been to. Every single thing inside the building screams "renovate me". Lockers are old rusty and tiny! Then lay out of the building is a maze. Steam room fits three people only. Whirlpool is so tiny. It could fit four people max.There are no curtains in the shower rooms so you get to see everybody's privates either you want or you don't want to. Absolutely horrible."
