Unfortunately my hopes of finding a reliable gym here were crushed. I've recently moved and wanted…read moreto find a decent local gym. I tried to call and get in touch with someone there to find a time to set up a meeting with a personal trainer. I was very excited and ready to start my powerlifting journey, and after seeing these positive reviews I thought this would be the place to do so. I called. Someone answered the phone, I didn't get his name, but he was chewing loudly in my ear the whole duration of the conversation. I asked for one of the owners/managing trainers and he said that no one was available. When I said I could call back later he told me "You don't need to." I hate to leave a bad review, especially considering it's my first review ever, but I'm quite fed up with not being taken seriously by gym owners, staff, and trainers. This was an incredibly disappointing experience.

First off, I only took two pics so it doesn't do nearly the justice of how freaking large and…read morespacious this gym is. Check out the other reviews as they do a better visual. I have had my eye on this place for a while as I travel pretty often to the Minneapolis area and have been looking for a gym just like this. Minneapolis has so many Anytime Fitness and Planet Fitness, which are not bad establishments, just not a place that fits my workout personality (i.e. "lunk alarms", no real heavy lifting and dumbbells that stop at 50#). Southside definitely provides the atmosphere to focus on your strength and lifting goals. Loved the gritty atmosphere of "go in and get it done, no excuses". The main gym is awesome and has a ton of speciality bars, racks, DBs that go up to 150 and platforms specifically for oly lifting only plus other platforms for powerlifting. I came in around 3-4:30 and was one of the only there...so no issue whatsoever of having the run of the place. Honestly I wish that there was a place like this in Omaha. Will back for sure next time here.

The gym is nice and big can be crowded. I had picked this gym because they have child care. We…read morewould go to another location and never had any problems. The second we come to this one and every time we were there the caregiver had an issue. My kids are 3 and 4 one has autism. My kids are kids not justifying if they are not behaving yes I will talk to them. But getting comments on well its no much for me. (mind you its just one kid or 2 kids at most). And then talking to management about it and honestly felt completely dismissed and her saying we are not professionals in medical problems. Don't waste your time or energy here.

He said yes, and I even got a confirmation text to come in at 8:30am. I came in the day of the appointment at 8:10am. The woman at the front desk was very rude in telling me that my 3 day pass had expired and I needed to wait to talk with them. I even showed her my appointment to use the gym at 8:30am. She said the trainers do not come in at that time. So why did I get the appointment and why couldn't I just go work out? She was very rude and made it seem like I was doing something wrong so I left. And I will not be back either. I think the front desk staff need to be better educated bc she didn't even know they offered a 3 days pass.

C4 has month to month unlimited packages and 5 or 10 class packages. The price is SO reasonable, and you can try the gym for free for a week. The community is welcoming from the very first day, and Mollie is available to answer all of your questions. I ended up going to the gym 3-4 times a week and tried classes ranging from boot camp to yoga. Prior to C4, I had stopped lifting and was out of shape, but the C4 instructors are ready to help all skill ranges and ages. I consistently had my form corrected and was encouraged to push myself throughout each class. I would stay with C4 forever if I wasn't moving! If you want a variety of fun workouts mixing cardio and strength training, a supportive community, and excellent trainers, you need to try C4. Special thanks to Mollie and Matt for all of the great classes!

This YMCA down in the south suburbs is in Burnsville a few miles below Minneapolis and is not too far from the Mall of America or the airport. It gets a little busy at times, but it is friendly enough and has pretty decent facilities and I have nothing against it and no problems with it. The showers work okay and the equipment is pretty good. It can get really busy and you might have a little bit of a trek to get in here from the parking lot - but all in all I give it good marks.

The workout was a HIIT version alternating between light/medium weights and cardio. 45 sec on, 15 sec recovery. I felt the right amount of sore afterwards to know I worked hard. I was able to do most activities or at least adjust to one's I could do. The instructor was energetic and motivating. Music was pumping up the class. We even had a well behaved puppy participant. The room was bright and well heated. Really great experience.

He broke each move down on what it should look like. It felt like a good balance of beginner level content and helpful pointers for regulars. I left the workout feeling sweaty, but accomplished. A boxing class is honestly cheaper than therapy.

The workouts are great, and modifiable since we are more than a bit out of shape. There is a lot of variety to the workouts and exercises that keep things challenging and interesting.

We were a little nervous after hearing mixed reviews for the last few years about Crossfit -- some people think it's dangerous and others think it's the best thing ever! I can see how, based on what gym you go to, your idea may lean closer to one versus the other. Mi5 started us off with a 1 week free trial where we sampled several different classes! Endurance, Barbell Club, FIT, and Strength and Sweat! All of them with a very different purpose & stimulus. As an individual who needs to modify quite a few movements, I have ALWAYS felt like I had a place at Mi5 and never was looked at differently because I changed a movement or needed to do something a bit differently or with a lighter weight. Additionally, the coaches are PHENOMINAL! They help you to come up with modifications for a workout if you are injured, have not progressed to that movement yet, or just don't feel comfortable doing it! Even when I'm attending for Open Gym, if there's a coach around & I have a question about a movement, they are always willing to take the time to have a conversation about that specific movement, general gym goals, or just to hang out and chat! We're extremely glad we joined and are very grateful for this community!

But I did use the locker room for the women as well as the pool/sauna area and cycle studio. Arriving the staff were friendly, not pushy to join or commit (I was a guest to a friend). One of them literally walked us down the hall and pointed us in the right direction. We felt so comfortable, welcome and had a great workout! Looking forward to returning for another cycle/HIIT class! The class was one that novices and experts could thrive in! The instructor was inclusive and also pushed us in the best way! There were options to modify, make things easier/harder, etc. Great instructor! The locker rooms were clean, although the key system, my friend is used to the code so didn't have a card to use to get the lock to work. The desk outside the locker room has spares and helped right away. The showers were clean, locker area clean, overall great! Parking was....a pain.
