Sioux Falls Family YMCA

Coming from a recent worker of the Y I did enjoy my time here and the place itself could use a lot of improvements pertaining to the kids (which they are doing) as for the weight room I often think it’s silly to have kids workout at a …

Worst gym I have used of any YMCA.Equipment is very poor condition, Weight room isn’t open on weekend or past 4 on weekdays who doesnt work till at least 330?This place is a joke

It is really a shame what has happened to this once great facility. The hours of operation for adults to exercise is a complete joke. 7:00-4:00 on weekdays are you kidding me? Not an option for a working adult. Not to mention the weight room and cardio equipment (what is left of it) is crammed into one small room. Locker room is ok but no towels and the 'attendant' was sitting there watching TV the entire time. The Sioux Falls YMCA was a great facility for many years but unfortunately now is nearly completely useless for adults looking for a place to work out.

Do not go here if you are an adult traveling. Got into town and immediately headed here to get my workout in only to be told the ENTIRE YMCA is reserved for kids after 4 PM. What? Like, not just the ball courts but the weight room as well? What kind of kid works out during the period of 4-8 PM? The only people who work out during this period is adults who get off work at 4-5 PM. When I asked for an explanation (I wasn't mad, a bit annoyed, but was genuinely intrigued at the reasoning behind this policy) the reason was to keep the kids "safe". Which, idk what kind of people you have in Sioux falls, but would they not be safer during a period of, oh idk, 11-3pm? When adults are all working? Legitimately one of the most poorly planned/ executed policies I have encountered. If you want a children's program reserve the basketball courts or playground, not the entire facility. Working out is great for everybody, kids and adults, and to be the only place in town with a gym and essentially gate it off to working adults is terrible. Tsk tsk.

If you're older than 17, you better have no life or a job if you want to use the facilities. After 4pm is off limits to adults. WTH?! Never been to a family Y where the whole family has to come in shifts,huh? Really? Poor planning. I understand having pool hours for different age groups but who do you think can come use the facilities, guess retired folk, homeless, and single families on government checks...Frustrating as...

I can’t give this place zero stars. If that was an option, I would. I arrived at 5:30, traveling from out of town. I frequently visit YMCAs throughout the region when I travel for work. This one was completely in accommodating.Approaching the front desk, I was informed that only children are allowed to exercise after 4:30 p.m. in Sioux Falls. I have no idea if this is some kind of weird law that effects all of Sioux Falls or if it is just some weird policy of this YMCA. Why would a gym exclude adults during the peak hours when adults are most likely to exercise (right after work)?

The fitness center is only open from 7AM-4PM for adults. Most adults work until around 4PM. Very limited time offered for adults with families or activities to work out. I’ve never seen a more poorly set up time frame for trying to be healthy and active. Strongly consider revising these hours!

The Y has a lot of great programs and benefits for members, but it's been almost impossible for me to go there this summer because it's so hot in the workout room.

Very comfortable setting to work out and the friendly staff make it even more enjoyable! I've been attending YMCA gyms for years and no where else seems to compare. No contract so if something comes up you can always end monthly membership and simply start it again if you choose to come back. the Y offers the essential amenities and the Equipment is very much up to date. Never do I have to wait on something to open up. My only knock on the YMCA is the location and lack of parking.

Stuff is awesome, a lot of weights, but atmosphere is like a recreation center, visitors are mostly mature people. I prefer real hard gym. But a good place to visit, Sauna, pool, parking lot.
