YWCA Minneapolis - Downtown is a clean, well-maintained, and spacious facility that provides a top-notch fitness experience. The atmosphere is peaceful and not crowded, with a vibe comparable to a high-end gym or spa. Members find it to be a safe environment with extremely nice updated bathrooms, including an all-gender option, and safe locker rooms with built-in locks. The amenities are extensive. There is a great, quiet pool for lap swim that is never crowded, along with a sauna and hot tub. The exercise equipment is plentiful, in good repair, and well cared for, featuring an extensive selection of free weights and machines across two weights areas. The facility also includes a basketball court and rooms for group fitness classes. Offerings go beyond standard equipment, encompassing group fitness classes, swim workout classes, private training with free introductory sessions, massage, and a childcare area. Parking is available in a private lot for a nominal hourly fee, and the entrance is by buzzer only. The staff is incredibly nice and accommodating. As a non-profit, membership fees support a great cause while remaining competitive with other gyms in the area. The overall experience exceeds expectations, making it a highly recommended location.
Center is very old and lots of staff members are very judgmental.

Not open on Sundays ~ which is annoying as there is a pool schedule indicating it is open.

I wanted to sign up but the guy with short hair who runs the front desk was extremely rude and made me change my mind on who I want to have a membership with. Fire him.
