YWCA St. Paul

We go here for their twice-weekly aerobics class called Dance Party. Super fun low-impact exercise with great people. Highly recommended!!

Typhoon Youth Kids Full Face Helmet with Shield & Gloves Combo... $63.88Qty: 1Sold By: Typhoon Helmets

I've been trying for months to cancel my membership but got charged again. When trying to call, no one answers. Nobody ever responds to emails. The personal training package I purchased didn't go well at all, multiple times the trainer didn't even show up. The pool and hot tub were under maintenance constantly. Overall a terrible experience with this gym that just will not end!

Friendly staff. Love the mission. A wide-variety of amenities and great fitness classes. Generally clean and well maintained. Older building that sometimes has issues but it's a great gym and is never crowded when I'm there.

1/1/2019 - I used to really appreciate this gym and it's vibe and mission but the rates just went up while the hours open have just been reduced while the facility and equipment have greatly declined in the last 4 years. The hot tub has been out of service for over 2 months and was going down almost monthly before that. Water has been leaking into the main work out area every time a significant rain or snow melt happens which and this has been going on for over two years. A health inspector could have a field day with what standing water on carpet in a busy gym might leave you with. The locker rooms did have mold issues they had to be torn apart for just to mitigate that. I haven't seen any new equipment in the last 4 years besides some larger TV screens. The men's locker rooms are smelly and crowded with rusty old very impractical lockers and frequently broken showers. There are very few open swim hours or other things you could bring a child to so a family membership isn't worth the extra money. The board or whomever manages the gym business side of this place is seriously not doing their job.

I got a "compliment" from a no face/no name/no reviews profile that is clearly affiliated with the facility, indicating that they knew who I was, failed to address my concerns, and defending just one small part of my review and telling me what it sounded like was wrong with me. :::sigh::: I guess that's the American way now...refuse to own up to your actions and blame your target. So very dysfunctionally Minnesotan, and kinda creepy. I'm sitting here wondering now: If they know who I am, what sort of vengeful thing are they going to do to me? Still a 2 star in my book.

It's old school, but I like it a lot. The Y has a different mission than most organizations. These are regular folks who think "community" first. I've developed friendships with diverse groups of people and I learn from these folks as well as the instructors. I use the weight machines and the treadmill and the pool and the sauna and they are all well maintained.

I was looking at Apple Maps and didn't see any good clear reviews so I felt the need to make one. I live the ywca here. Community oriented, always clean, the staff is really friendly and always says hi and there's a lot less turnover than at my last gym. I like that they have an app to sign up for classes and things. I like their equipment and I love swimming in the pool.

Great facility. Clean, friendly, and good equipment. Been going here for years. The pool and sauna are nice amenities. I enjoy the group fitness classes as well. They recently redid one of the locker rooms, it's very nice with hair dryers and places to get ready. I would pick the Y over any lifetime or 24 hour fitness chain. Would highly recommend!

I admittedly do not have a lot of experience as a gym member. The staff is friendly. The machines are adequate, and there is plenty of variety for me to keep my workouts interesting. I use the weight machines, elliptical, treadmills, and bikes. I don't take classes or use the pool. Hand towels are free.For me the hours are plenty, open to 10 on weeknights and opens at 5 most days. The only thing that it would be nice to have are a track and basketball style gyms. I would also advise against going during the busiest hours (5-7) from Jan. to March. There tends to be a rush of New Years resolutionaries. You can still get a machine, but it may require a wait. I also like that the YWCA does good things in my neighborhood. There are day care programs, summer camps, literacy programs, youth fitness, and a kids swim team. It is a place for all body types and experience levels. There are people that I see there every time, and there are people there who obviously are getting back into shape or dealing with significant disabilities.
