Move to the Gaviidae location from the 9th & LaSalle building (1990s-2018) was the worst decision possible.

I really enjoy working out here. The space is really clean, the lockers are secure, the staff is friendly, theirs so many activities going on during the month and it has all the equipment necessary for a quality workout.

Nicest cleanest ymca in Minnesota hands down! Deb and Endonnis are wonderful! Genuine interactions and wonderful customer service just in general. Have to check it out.

Highly recommend NOT leaving any belongings as the Janitors do an entire sweep of the lockers even if you use the lockers and they are locked your personal belongings will be stolen by the staff and never to be seen again. This makes no sense being that they don't even clean the lockers or even need to go into A LOCKED LOCKER KNOWING SOMONES ITEMS ARE IN THERE its despicable especially since they know exactly what their doing STEALING. It isn't fair to paying customers Nor Is it fair to not even be a concern to any of the staff to check cameras just to keep their co workers safe . Horrible experience plus the hottub doesn't even have hot water nor does the sauna work. I am working on a lawsuit so I can get my things back rest assure that these crooks will pay
