I am interested in learning What Moved You at the YMCA? Maybe it was your first time jumping into the pool. Maybe it was a coach who saw your potential. Maybe it was camp, a fitness class, a mentor, or a community that made you feel like you belonged. Southdale YMCA is more than a place--it's a collection of moments that shape who we become. - A lesson learned. - A friendship formed. - A confidence gained. - A life changed. Today, we're inviting you to share your story. What moved you at the Southdale YMCA? Drop your memory in the comments and help us celebrate the moments that continue to inspire generations. Southdale Y - Community built here. Lives changed forever.

On a recent Saturday I realized the Southdale Y had not recovered from Covid, it was time to end a 20+ year relationship Of the treadmills, 2 were of 20 were tagged as needed repairs and two others should have been out. The software change from last summer is missing functionality that had been there prior, not kinks functionality, it just doesn't work Multiple request for assistance get different answers, I think my count was at 4 when I realized this was not worth it. Talk to a trainer, talk to the help desk, not our problem, send an email to this address. I found it was time of a change and the Southdale Y didn't seem willing to. Not worth the cost, spend more for Lifetime or less at the multiple alternatives.

Lifetime Fitness in Edina is a state of the art gym and lifestyle establishment…read more It truly has everything you need: hundreds of cardio machines, weight machines, free weights, stretching areas, recovery area, fitness studios, group classes, kids academy (daycare while you workout), indoor pools, indoor hot tubs, steam room, saunas, showers, sushi restaurant, grab and go cafe, salon, and lounges with couches and tables to get some work done. Most impressive of all: the rooftop pools, bar and restaurant. It's truly one of the highlights of the city in my mind. Relax in one of the hundreds of lawn chairs, or grab lunch with a friend in the table area. Enjoy poolside service right at your lawn chair or even directly from the pool. Everything at the whole gym is kept impeccably clean and up to date. I recommend Lifetime Edina wholeheartedly.

Lifetime Fitness (Southdale) Review I like the bar at…read moreLifetime Fitness Southdale--interesting people come here. Since many people who focus on their bodies don't drink, I was curious about their "one drink at a time" rule. Turns out, there's an exception--if you order a chaser, you can have 8 oz of beer instead of a full 16 oz pint... for the same price. When I arrived, I ordered: * A glass of tepid water * A Jameson whiskey * A Guinness The bartender, who I know was hired with no prior experience and little training, served me a full pint of Guinness and then left for several minutes to handle something at the register. Meanwhile, I was getting thirsty. Beer doesn't quench thirst, so with a dry mouth, barely able to form words, I asked again for my water. She kindly brought it over. After I finally wetted my whistle, I asked about my Jameson. She told me I couldn't have it because I already had one drink. I asked if they served boilermakers. She said no. I asked if I could get a chaser with my shot. She said sure. Then she took my full Guinness, poured 8 oz into a glass, and dumped the rest down the drain. I tried to stop her, saying she should drink it herself or that I'd buy another chaser since my friend was joining me. But nope--she dumped it anyway. Now, onto my actual reason for coming to Lifetime in the first place--I was meeting a friend. When I checked in, I informed the man at the front desk that my friend would be coming to meet me and that she is autistic, so they should watch out for her when she arrived. He agreed. Yet when she showed up, she was told she couldn't come in because it was members only. Fair enough. But the real issue? She felt scared and uncomfortable because of their loud, stern voices. If I let them know in advance that she was coming and even gave them a heads-up about her needs, you'd think they'd handle the situation a little more professionally instead of making her feel unwelcome and anxious. So, here's my verdict: * If you're picky about service or don't like paying extra for chasers, you might want to avoid the bar. * If you're looking for good sushi, the salmon sashimi is well-priced and hits the spot. * If you're expecting considerate customer service, don't count on it. For a high-end gym that prides itself on service, this visit was disappointing.

What really…read morestands out is the diverse mix of members -- people of all backgrounds, fitness levels, and ages, which makes it feel inclusive, motivating, and easy to plug into whether you're new to training or a longtime athlete. The energy here is awesome. You can tell that people show up to put in real work, but there's zero ego. It's the kind of gym where you can lift heavy, hit cardio, stretch, or just get a solid workout in without feeling judged or out of place. The owners, Major and Adam, are genuinely kind, helpful, and present. They're not just behind the scenes--they're engaged, approachable, and clearly care about the community they're building. They've created a space where you feel supported and pushed at the same time. If you're looking for a place that's clean, well-equipped, community-driven, and just a great environment to get after it, I highly recommend this gym.
