Unfortunately my hopes of finding a reliable gym here were crushed. I've recently moved and wanted…read moreto find a decent local gym. I tried to call and get in touch with someone there to find a time to set up a meeting with a personal trainer. I was very excited and ready to start my powerlifting journey, and after seeing these positive reviews I thought this would be the place to do so. I called. Someone answered the phone, I didn't get his name, but he was chewing loudly in my ear the whole duration of the conversation. I asked for one of the owners/managing trainers and he said that no one was available. When I said I could call back later he told me "You don't need to." I hate to leave a bad review, especially considering it's my first review ever, but I'm quite fed up with not being taken seriously by gym owners, staff, and trainers. This was an incredibly disappointing experience.

First off, I only took two pics so it doesn't do nearly the justice of how freaking large and…read morespacious this gym is. Check out the other reviews as they do a better visual. I have had my eye on this place for a while as I travel pretty often to the Minneapolis area and have been looking for a gym just like this. Minneapolis has so many Anytime Fitness and Planet Fitness, which are not bad establishments, just not a place that fits my workout personality (i.e. "lunk alarms", no real heavy lifting and dumbbells that stop at 50#). Southside definitely provides the atmosphere to focus on your strength and lifting goals. Loved the gritty atmosphere of "go in and get it done, no excuses". The main gym is awesome and has a ton of speciality bars, racks, DBs that go up to 150 and platforms specifically for oly lifting only plus other platforms for powerlifting. I came in around 3-4:30 and was one of the only there...so no issue whatsoever of having the run of the place. Honestly I wish that there was a place like this in Omaha. Will back for sure next time here.

This location is like other LAFs, where there is racquetball, basketball courts, cycle studio, group fitness and training studio, free weight area and cardio section, stretching and core area, and of course the beloved pool, hot tub and dry sauna. For the price, you can't beat it! You get everything you need and management has done a good job of maintaining order and cleanliness of the club each and every day. I've been a member for 7+ years and haven't been a bit disappointed or dissatisfied once.

Everything you want is fairly close by and it's intentionally laid out: strength on the main floor, cardio on the second floor wing, and studios around the perimeter!

The locker rooms are small, to pair with the smaller location, but they have larger shower stalls than other locations, which is nice! I'll definitely continue to utilize this location often!

Dear LifeTime Member Services,…read more I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding an incident that occurred today at the LifeTime Savage location. The experience left me feeling disrespected, unwelcome, and deeply concerned about the professionalism and fairness of the service I received. I visited the club to purchase a day pass for the pool. When I approached the front desk, I was assisted by an employee named Amy. She informed me that my ID was not valid for purchasing an entry. However, I want to make it clear that a valid ID is not required to purchase a day pass--I was fully prepared to pay the full rate. The issue was not the policy, but the way the situation was handled. Amy's tone and demeanor were unnecessarily harsh and dismissive. Instead of offering clarification or assistance, she spoke to me rudely and ultimately instructed me to leave the building. The interaction was abrupt, humiliating, and far from the level of respect I expect from a LifeTime representative. What troubles me most is that the treatment I received made me question whether bias or discrimination may have influenced the way I was spoken to and handled. No guest or potential guest should ever be made to feel singled out or judged. I am requesting a thorough review of this incident, including: Clarification of the ID policy and how it should be communicated to guests. An evaluation of the employee's conduct. Assurance that LifeTime upholds a standard of respect, fairness, and inclusivity for all individuals. This experience was upsetting, and I hope LifeTime will take this matter seriously. I look forward to a prompt response and to understanding what steps will be taken to address this situation. Sincerely, Ben N.

This YMCA down in the south suburbs is in Burnsville a few miles below Minneapolis and is not too far from the Mall of America or the airport. It gets a little busy at times, but it is friendly enough and has pretty decent facilities and I have nothing against it and no problems with it. The showers work okay and the equipment is pretty good. It can get really busy and you might have a little bit of a trek to get in here from the parking lot - but all in all I give it good marks.

The ECC is my back-up fitness center for whenever I'm looking for a satisfying run but the…read moreweather's cruddy. Eaganites should be very happy to have such a top-notch place to work out. Their indoor track is my favorite in the South Metro & St. Paul area: rubberized, 3 lanes of comfortable width, 11 laps/mile. It's suspended above the Community Center's basketball courts, which is great for two reasons. 1) It's out of the way so you don't have to worry about people meandering onto the track. 2) There's usually some practice or game going on, which means you'll have a bit of incidental entertainment as you exercise. Also, they have several bays of floor-to-ceiling windows along the one wall, so unlike some basement-like facilities, you'll get to enjoy some natural light as you put in the miles. This facility is clean with a capital C. Everything is spotless--the track, the equipment, even the locker rooms were in impeccable condition. The building's over a decade old (built in 2003, if I recall correctly), but it still looks shiny and new. Pricing is very reasonable; since I'm here fairly infrequently I utilize the walking-track-only day pass, which is less than $5. However, please be aware that this option is not available Monday-Friday between 4-7pm. For a few more bucks you can get full run (no pun intended) of the fitness center with no restrictions. There's all sorts of membership options, of course, that you can find on the website. They have fitness classes and personal training available at the ECC as well. I've never used these services, but it's worth mentioning they exist. Spacious, un-pretentious, affordable, easy to get to, easy to park, friendly staff, never crowded... ultimately, a good gym, and a great amenity for the people of Eagan (and surrounding areas).

He said yes, and I even got a confirmation text to come in at 8:30am. I came in the day of the appointment at 8:10am. The woman at the front desk was very rude in telling me that my 3 day pass had expired and I needed to wait to talk with them. I even showed her my appointment to use the gym at 8:30am. She said the trainers do not come in at that time. So why did I get the appointment and why couldn't I just go work out? She was very rude and made it seem like I was doing something wrong so I left. And I will not be back either. I think the front desk staff need to be better educated bc she didn't even know they offered a 3 days pass.

We were a little nervous after hearing mixed reviews for the last few years about Crossfit -- some people think it's dangerous and others think it's the best thing ever! I can see how, based on what gym you go to, your idea may lean closer to one versus the other. Mi5 started us off with a 1 week free trial where we sampled several different classes! Endurance, Barbell Club, FIT, and Strength and Sweat! All of them with a very different purpose & stimulus. As an individual who needs to modify quite a few movements, I have ALWAYS felt like I had a place at Mi5 and never was looked at differently because I changed a movement or needed to do something a bit differently or with a lighter weight. Additionally, the coaches are PHENOMINAL! They help you to come up with modifications for a workout if you are injured, have not progressed to that movement yet, or just don't feel comfortable doing it! Even when I'm attending for Open Gym, if there's a coach around & I have a question about a movement, they are always willing to take the time to have a conversation about that specific movement, general gym goals, or just to hang out and chat! We're extremely glad we joined and are very grateful for this community!
