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.

Anytime Fitness has changed my life. I began back in 2016 because I am on the road a lot and I do…read morenot always have the time to make it to a gym that has set hours or personal training times. I love the fact that it is open 24 hours a day. Since I am so busy I can show up at the gym at 9 in the morning or 11 at night. Their hours cater to me and not the other way around. What I love most about this gym besides the positive environment is that the staff truly do go out of their way to help you meet your goals. When I had started I had taken the summer off from working out and I was a disgusting mess. I was fat, sweaty, and I looked like I belonged in a pig pit on a farm sunning myself instead of trying to get fit and better myself. I had almost cancelled my membership the first day but the staff at Anytime convinced me to stick with it. Best of all, Anytime's staff looked at me with respect and dignity instead of seeing me as somebody who was one Cinnabon away from a diabetic shock. I have never had that kind of motivation in my life. Now I am a lean, clean, musclebound machine benching 200 lbs and going nowhere but up. As far as the general atmosphere of the place. It is clean and well maintained. When a machine is malfunctioning the staff is wonderful at being prompt and fixing it. The other gym goer's are also some of the most friendly people who I have met in my life. This gym truly is for people who want a positive place to make a change in their life. You won't set off any alarms here for crushing a workout thats for sure!

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.

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. But I can imagine on a Monday at 5ish, that's the case. Found a spot within 5 minutes and had to walk a few minutes but whatever.

Kept getting double charged and the managers attitude was a well things happen approach.

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.

Their indoor track is my favorite in the South Metro & St. Paul area: rubberized, 3 lanes of comfortable width, 11 laps/mile. It's suspended above the Community Center's basketball courts, which is great for two reasons. 1) It's out of the way so you don't have to worry about people meandering onto the track. 2) There's usually some practice or game going on, which means you'll have a bit of incidental entertainment as you exercise. Also, they have several bays of floor-to-ceiling windows along the one wall, so unlike some basement-like facilities, you'll get to enjoy some natural light as you put in the miles. This facility is clean with a capital C. Everything is spotless--the track, the equipment, even the locker rooms were in impeccable condition. The building's over a decade old (built in 2003, if I recall correctly), but it still looks shiny and new. Pricing is very reasonable; since I'm here fairly infrequently I utilize the walking-track-only day pass, which is less than $5. However, please be aware that this option is not available Monday-Friday between 4-7pm. For a few more bucks you can get full run (no pun intended) of the fitness center with no restrictions. There's all sorts of membership options, of course, that you can find on the website. They have fitness classes and personal training available at the ECC as well. I've never used these services, but it's worth mentioning they exist. Spacious, un-pretentious, affordable, easy to get to, easy to park, friendly staff, never crowded... ultimately, a good gym, and a great amenity for the people of Eagan (and surrounding areas).
