My husband and I are new to Sioux Falls and wanted to check out this facility. Jason, Manager, gave us a tour and a three day pass. I cannot say enough good things about our entire experience!He was friendly and professional, taking pride in his business and community. The facilities were gorgeous, clean and well laid out. I have been in many gyms over the course of my 20+ year bodybuilding pursuit. This one was tops. They have a spa setup with hot tub, sauna (wet and dry) as well as a pool (by appt only for COVID). The locker rooms were spa quality with all toiletries provided-even shaving cream and hair gel!

I'd give this gym no stars if I could. You can tell it's owned by a hospital by all their ridiculous and archaic "rules" that they are implementing. You now have to make an actual "reservation" if you simply want to use the pool, hot tub, sauna or steam room. This generated some good laughs by myself and other members today. Good luck enforcing that. On top of that, I was humiliated by some old crow taking temperature scans that my mask wasn't over my nose enough for her liking. Screw you lady! I quit this evening and they should just close their doors as their equipment is about 50 years old and sucks. Go to Great Life as it's 1000% better and about half the price. Good riddance!

We love this place. Extremely clean. All staff are professional and kind and more than willing to help with any questions. The classes available are awesome, and there is something for everyone. CNC is also a great plus for a healthy (or unhealthy) snack post workout

Changing my rating from 5 stars to 3. Not sure what has happened, but that staff are genuinely unhappy. The front desk folks don't seem to care if you are there or not, the floor staff are grumpy, and the management is happy to sit in …

Very nice gym and always well kept. I used to always have a membership here, but with their restrictions and reduced hours I will go elsewhere. Closing early makes no sense as more people have to come to fit into the reduced hours. It's a business move, and it's not good for the member.

A pool, whirlpool, steam room, and dry sauna are all available to members, along with a well kept locker room. This is all on top of the nice gym equipment, included classes, and full basketball court. All the instructors here have been …

Great pool, warm water pool and hot tub. The upstairs has all of the cardio equipment and weights you would ever need. It's clean and we'll maintained.I've done physical therapy there for a knee replacement. Terry and Mark did an outstanding job on getting me back on my feet.

I think the Avera Fitness Center isn't the fitness center it was known as 15 years ago...Don't get me wrong, it's still a pretty nice place, but it seems to have an "old boys club" feel to it. The color schemes are dated, but the equipment …

I went here as a guest, and the facility was amazing! Full amenities for showering after your workout is a great feature. There is also children's care for parents. I took a swim aerobics class and Charissa the instructor was awesome. I got …
