Fitness & Gyms near Mounds View, MN

“Had a great time experimenting CrossFit North Star. The place was clean, friendly, and inviting. The equipment was great, the coaching was informed and willing to teach and allow questions. Great place!”

“Studio Me is such an uplifting, positive , and supportive gym. I’ve been going for about a month and I see positive changes in the way I feel . I really enjoy the attention the coaches give to each and every one of us in the semi-private lesson. I highly recommend Studio Me to anyone that wants to start their fitness journey!”

“Caden was beyond helpful when helping me sign up. I toured plenty of other gyms in the area and Caden made this one feel different. All the equipment is clean and updated. Everything I will need for my workouts are in one area. Plenty of free weights and a large turf. Highly recommend!!”

“The trainers are top notch they will modify to your skill level. Excellent experience, I've been coming to this anytime fitness since April, I look forward to working out everyday!”

“Great workouts that a different each time to keep you from getting bored. The coaches have great energy and push me further than I would if I was on my own. Love the monthly challenges to keep you motivated and accountable to your workouts. Highly recommend!”

“Burn Boot Camp is so much more than a gym.

I started at Burn 2 months postpartum. I was told Burn would change my life and I kind of shook it off. I’ve been to so many gyms but burn is different. & it has changed my life all for the better. I have never worked out in a group setting so motivating. Everyone on the floor is pushing each other & cheering each other on.

The trainers are like no other. They push you to do things you never thought you could do and encourage and motivate you! Not to mention the one on one focus meetings you get to have to get on track with your goals.

I was so worried people would judge me. How I looked, how I moved but that wasn’t the case. Instead I got a community that just wants to see you work hard, push yourself and keep showing up.

In other gyms, I never pushed myself this hard. I honestly don’t think I would work as hard as I do at burn. And now I get FOMO when i miss a camp because not only do I love the workouts but I’ve made friendships I know will last.

And I have to shout out Childwatch! The staff are amazing! My kids love it! And it’s free!

If you’re on the fence, please come try it. It really will change your life!
I promise you won’t regret joining!”

“I can’t say enough good things about this gym. I was new to the city and looking for a CrossFit community, and I’m so glad I found this place. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming and supportive from day one. I really appreciate that they meet you where you’re at, whether you’re new to CrossFit or more experienced. The coaches are amazing, encouraging, knowledgeable, and always willing to help you grow at your own pace. It’s such a positive environment that makes showing up feel easy. Highly recommend!”

“I’m having a great experience at Basecamp! The vibes are great and I get a really great workout in a short amount of time. The schedule of the classes and 35 minute class fits right into my schedule. I started out by buying a class and taking a free week. Now I do two classes a week. It’s a great compliment to my race training and Pilates classes. I’ve loved being able to bring friends with my guest passes and I’ve recruited a few friends for membership too!”

“The gym is clean and it has most of what you need.
They don't seem to address broken equipment though. I showed a staff member the rowing machine was broken 3 weeks ago. She had no idea. Still not fixed. No sign. Nothing.”

“I went after hours and was impressed by how clean everything was. They have all the equipment you need for a great workout. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a good place to train.”

“I'd be willing to bet this Snap Fitness is the largest Snap Fitness in the entire Midwest. It is THREE stories packed full of AWESOME equipment. The gym is hardly ever busy, which means you NEVER have to share equipment.

I've gone to Los Campeones, LA Fitness, and Anytime Fitness in the past... But there's no going back. Once you check out this gym, you will see what I mean.”

“All of their coaches are incredible! Highly recommend! I was in town for business and went to Coaches Tay, Carlos, and Martin’s classes. They were outstanding!”

“Going to this place makes going to the gym FUN! This place is the BEST GYM around .. I drive a half hour one way to go because it's that GOOD ❤️. The community of people and all the coaches and the support are truly AMAZING! COME check it OUT!”

“I LOVE this community. They are worth every penny and invest tremendously in supporting their members. The community is warm and welcoming to new folks, and the instructors are skilled and encouraging. I have been a member since 2020. They have helped me break through my limiting beliefs, crush my goals, and tap into a more powerful and courageous lifestyle.”

“Sam Lickteig has helped me out so much over the years. With his vast knowledge on how the human body works, both from a recovery standpoint and a training standpoint. He has helped me recuperate from multiple types of injuries such as my throwing shoulder (baseball pitcher), low back, lower body calf, and hip.

Anytime you need more extensive soft tissue muscular rehab work.He is the guy to go to.

1000% recommend!

Cheers!”

“I've been going here for a good while now, and I absolutely LOVE IT! It's a great location and definitely worth the membership. I'm very happy they are still open 24 hours ?”

“Honestly, this gym has completely changed my lifestyle, and I’m incredibly grateful I decided to walk through the doors one year ago on 7/13/2025.

I was planning to wait until my official one-year anniversary to leave a review, but with this year’s Member/Non-Member Summer Challenge starting on 7/13/2026, I wanted to share my experience beforehand.

If you’re thinking about joining, stop waiting. Sign up for the challenge, show up consistently, trust the process, and see what happens. You might surprise yourself.

I have more energy, I can keep up with my family, stairs don’t make me lose my breath, I can enjoy the outdoors more, I’m more confident, haven’t been getting random colds, and most importantly, I’m feel like a role-model for my children again.

What I love most about Fitaholic is that it takes the guesswork out of fitness. The workouts are programmed for you, the instructors are knowledgeable and motivating, and the community is supportive and welcoming. You can genuinely have fun while improving your health, fitness, and confidence.

The habits I’ve built here haven’t just changed me. They’ve influenced my entire family’s outlook on health and fitness.

When I started:

• 5’9”, 38-year-old male
• Weight: 202 lbs
• Skeletal Muscle Mass: 89.7 lbs
• Body Fat: 22.4%
• BMI: 29.8

One year and 215 classes later (4.25 classes per week average):

• Weight: 169 lbs (-33 lbs)
• Skeletal Muscle Mass: 88.2 lbs (-1.5 lbs)
• Body Fat: 9.5% (-12.9%)
• BMI: 25 (-4.9)

In total, I’ve lost 29.1 pounds of body fat while maintaining nearly all of my muscle mass.

These results didn’t come from being perfect. They came from being consistent. Over the past year, I completed two separate 12-week calorie-deficit phases, showed up regularly, and kept working the plan.

A special thank you to my wife, Alisha, for leading the way and convincing me to join that first summer challenge.

And thank you to the incredible instructors: Mike Dunbar, Leah Scheid, Wyatt Dunbar, Averi Dunbar, Leah Meyer, Alyssa Branitski, Tracy McConkey, Jordan Falk, and everyone else who has coached, encouraged, and pushed me along the way.

Most importantly, thank you to the Fitaholic community. You’ve made this journey fun and helped keep me accountable, even on the days I showed up grumpy and complaining about the workout ahead.

Joining Fitaholic was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health. If you’re considering it, take the leap. One year from now, you’ll be glad you did”

“Farrell’s Blaine has been my fitness home for the past year and a half. What started as a 10-week challenge turned into something I never wanted to leave even after my family moved farther away to Maple Grove. That alone speaks volumes about what makes this place so special.
Farrell’s Blaine is so much more than just a gym. What truly sets it apart is the community and the accountability. You are not just another number here; you are family. We truly do life together. The accountability is real. People notice when you show up, and they notice when you don’t, not out of pressure, but because they genuinely care about you and your growth.
Life can throw curveballs (believe me over the past year I have had many) Through it all, from the owner to the instructors, coaches, and fellow members, there is constant encouragement and support. They challenge you, push you, and help you grow both physically and personally. Removing excuses. From kickboxing to strength training, every class is high-energy, varied, and motivating. They even have virtual classes. Whether you’re throwing punches, lifting heavy, or in the trenches pushing through a tough workout, you are never alone.
They pour into you as a whole person, not just your fitness or nutrition goals. They listen and truly see and hear you…free of judgment.
I am incredibly thankful for Cindi, Heidi, the instructors, coaches, and every member who has invested in me. The impact this gym has had on my life, and the ripple effect it has created for my entire family, is truly remarkable. I cannot say enough about the heartbeat of this gym…transformation from the inside out.”

“This gym is absolutely incredible—easily one of the best I’ve ever been a part of. The atmosphere is motivating, the equipment is top-notch, and everything is clean and well taken care of. What really sets it apart, though, is the people. The owners and staff genuinely care, know you by name, and create a culture that pushes you to be better every single day. It’s more than just a place to work out—it’s a place to grow, be challenged, and feel like you belong. The owner is a Pastor, but not just from a pulpit—his ministry breathes through everything he does. In this gym he owns, iron and sweat become part of something sacred. On Saturday mornings, before most of the world has even woken up, he’s already there—setting the tone, not just for a workout, but for a gathering of men who are learning how to carry more than weight.

They call it Cross Carriers.

It’s free, because he believes what changed his life should never be behind a price tag. Men show up from all walks—strong, broken, searching, skeptical—and he meets each one the same way: with humility, with presence, with grace. He doesn’t posture as someone above them, but walks beside them. Lifts with them. Listens to them.

After the workout, when the breathing slows and the noise fades, he shifts the focus. The devotional isn’t polished or performative—it’s real. Rooted. Lived. He speaks like a man who has wrestled, who has failed, who has been rebuilt. Scripture flows not as something memorized, but as something embodied.

He is humble in a way that’s unmistakable. Not weak—anchored. He knows where his strength comes from, and it’s not himself.

Every worry, every pressure, every unseen burden—he lays it down daily. Not once, but over and over again. At the feet of Jesus. He doesn’t pretend to have control; he surrenders it. And in that surrender, there’s peace. Not a life without problems, but a life without panic.

He doesn’t chase recognition. He chases obedience.

And somehow, because of that, people are drawn in. Not to him—but to what’s in him.

A man who lifts others.
A man who carries his cross.
A man who walks in grace… and helps others learn how to do the same.

Pastor Dan, thank you for carving out time to invest in me. The way you lead, love, and walk in obedience to God doesn’t go unnoticed. You’ve challenged me, believed in me, and pushed me to grow into the man I’m called to be. That kind of leadership is rare. You’re one of a kind. Thank you!”

“I absolutely love Lions Gym. This is so much more than your average gym. Dr. Stephen is really remarkable in so many ways. He and his staff make sure every member is comfortable and feel at home every time you walk in the door. His approach to wellness is truly unique in finding the best possible way to help heal your body. I’ve suffered back problems my entire life and have used chiropractic for many years, but Dr. Stephen’s approach is so much more advanced and treats the entire body in correcting your individual problems and pain. He truly cares about his patients and their overall health. I highly recommend Lions Gym for anyone seeking help.”

“Infectious energy, great music, and top-tier coaching. Coach Tommy somehow knows exactly when to push you and when to cheer you on, and it makes all the difference. 10/10 recommend!”

“My favorite place to go. It a great way to lift weights safely. It's like you have a personal trainer. You get great instruction, with a plan. You get modifications base on your obstacles. 45 min class for a total workout.”

“My husband and I join NE Fitness in 2021 and I have attended more than 400 classes, we love it! I don't really like exercising, so having a coach and a class full of accepting, friendly people, really helps me accomplish my workout goals! Everyone can put what they want into each class, when I really push myself I walk out with a sense of accomplishment and a better mood than I walked in with. I have dreaded going to class on some days, but have always walked out so glad that I showed up. Clare, Monica, Liz, Jean, Ruth, Paige and all others have helped with improving my body mechanics and encouragement to challenge myself. I love that there are 30 min Express classes that I can get to after work and still be home to cook dinner. Keep up the great work NE friends!”

“I’ve been training at North Loop Gym for a couple of years, and it’s one of those places I’m almost reluctant to review because I’d really prefer it remain a little-known gem.

If you’ve grown tired of big-box gyms with influencers filming every set and a vibe more like a nightclub, this is the opposite. North Loop Gym is welcoming, unpretentious, clean, and full of people who are genuinely dedicated to their training. It’s busy enough to feel alive but never so crowded that you spend half your workout waiting for equipment.

I discovered North Loop Gym when my trainer, Carl Champion, moved his personal training business there. I’ve worked with Carl for more than four years, and it has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my health. He’s knowledgeable, encouraging, and knows exactly when to push you and when to adjust the plan. He’s helped me become stronger, more confident in the gym, and discover an entirely new way to train after years of focusing primarily on yoga and running.

So yes, this is an outstanding gym with an outstanding trainer.

Please check it out.

…But also, maybe don’t tell too many people. I’d really like to keep being able to find an open squat rack. 😉”

“The workout classes have increased my muscle strength. The coaching are encouraging, informative and helpful. The community is fun, motivating & keeps me coming. The coaches & community care about each person, and helps me be accountable for doing the classes. There are community get togethers that build the relationships as well. There is nothing like this club it stands out from the rest of them!”

“Lizzy is the best!!! I’ve been coming to this gym for a while now and she has been the best manager & trainer. Thank you lizzy for always being there and supporting me!”

“My favorite climbing gym out of the 12 I've been to! The community here is welcoming and awesome- staff and members are genuinely great people that I enjoy seeing around and spending time with. Plus, the route setting is fun, and the wooden sauna is especially nice in the winter. They host cool events and there's monthly meet ups for all sorts of identity groups, which makes getting into climbing a lot more approachable, imo.”

“This isn’t your typical gym. You enter as a stranger and leave as family. Workouts are customized to your needs, or you can work out at your own pace. It’s an excellent place for kids. Team building, respect, and commitment are the cornerstones at Sir Boxing. This is the community you want to be a part of.”
