I am interested in learning What Moved You at the YMCA? Maybe it was your first time jumping into the pool. Maybe it was a coach who saw your potential. Maybe it was camp, a fitness class, a mentor, or a community that made you feel like you belonged. Southdale YMCA is more than a place--it's a collection of moments that shape who we become. - A lesson learned. - A friendship formed. - A confidence gained. - A life changed. Today, we're inviting you to share your story. What moved you at the Southdale YMCA? Drop your memory in the comments and help us celebrate the moments that continue to inspire generations. Southdale Y - Community built here. Lives changed forever.

The Y has not recovered from Covid. I finally gave up on asking for machines in working order,…read moreusable software and if I have a problem, it should be resolved without too much effort. On a recent Saturday I realized the Southdale Y had not recovered from Covid, it was time to end a 20+ year relationship Of the treadmills, 2 were of 20 were tagged as needed repairs and two others should have been out. The software change from last summer is missing functionality that had been there prior, not kinks functionality, it just doesn't work Multiple request for assistance get different answers, I think my count was at 4 when I realized this was not worth it. Talk to a trainer, talk to the help desk, not our problem, send an email to this address. I found it was time of a change and the Southdale Y didn't seem willing to. Not worth the cost, spend more for Lifetime or less at the multiple alternatives.

They don't have free parking but the meters on the street aren't too expensive, and free if you do a workout class that ends before 8 am! I don't love the 12 hour cancellation policy but it's gotten me to go even when I didn't feel like it because of the fee haha. Overall great vibes and everyone has always been so friendly when I've come for a class!

I am the poster child for not being a morning person BUT I love waking up to start my day with a TRX workout early with Tara. Everyone has been going here for forever and they all know each other and their kids. Everyone is friendly and encouraging- very inclusive which is nice. The studio is family friendly and they offer a wide range of programs and challenges for the whole family. they encourage family activity which is so fun! I don't have kids but if I did I would definitely make attending a top priority for everyone. Tara is so sweet and is willing to stay after to help you if you want to focus on something additional or need help mastering a move. There is no pressure to be the best... she teaches you how to do the move, does them with you and is genuinely interested in YOU. Classes here make my week :) The studio is smaller and offers a lot of personalized attention, which is rare for a lot of places. Great for all levels.

I've attended a number of Classic barre classes since the studio opening a few weeks, and I have…read morebeen incredibly impressed! First and foremost, the instructors are amazing! While the overall structure of class is the same (sections for upper body, thighs, abs, etc), each instructor brings their own style and moves to class, which keeps it both interesting and challenging! Second, the workout itself is TOUGH but in a good way, and even the most in-shape person is going to find it challenging. But don't let that scare you if you've never done barre! Third, they are welcoming to everyone! My classes so far have been filled with women of all ages and abilities. There's no judgment if you need to take breaks, and the instructors are there to help you if you're not sure how to do a certain move or to help adjust your form. There is plenty of parking, there are cubbies and some lockers available, and they have a small retail area if you're looking to buy workout tops, grippy socks, etc.

Kurt, the owner, and Coach Amy are the kindest, most motivated, and cheerful coaches I have ever met. I received personal training from Amy and also attended group classes led by both coaches as well. Both trainers are kind and approachable--no drill sergeant mentality. They will meet you where you are in your fitness journey. In classes, although it is a group setting both coaches do an amazing job at keeping a pulse on each individual. In group classes, Kurt seemed to be aware of and know each person so though you were in a group setting, it felt like a private session because you got individual attention! The man is a plethora of knowledge in any aspect pertaining to health wellness and fitness! I also appreciated Kurt's generous feedback and recognition if he ever was in the gym or even walking by during a personal training session with Amy. Amy was my personal trainer and I saw her twice weekly. She is hands down the best personal trainer I've ever had and she became a friend over time. Amy is incredibly knowledgeable in strength & mobility as it pertains to fitness. She is always learning new things and setting an example as she challenges herself. It was very motivating to see Amy completing her own workouts in our group classes as well. I appreciated how validating Amy was--if something doesn't feel right or if I was confused or overwhelmed, Amy was right there ready willing and able to coach me through it by explaining, demonstrating, or even encouraging. She gets to know you and your individual needs and your personal goals...knows just how far she can push you safely. I left my sessions feeling empowered and successful. Amy also encouraging you to listen to your body and share any concerns so she can help you find solutions whether it be modifications, additional exercises or stretches. Amy came prepared and had a plan for every single one of my sessions having considered what we accomplished previously, where we are heading, considering recommendations my chiropractor from next door gave her, and investing her own personal time outside of our sessions ahead of time to create the right plan just for me. She planned my individual workout for me and I saw her commitment and dedication in doing the same for every single one of her clients. Her availability and followup were impeccable--only a text away, understanding, and never annoyed, distracted, or too busy. My experience at Profitness with Amy & Kurt has been life changing. These people are genuinely vested in each member and their well-being. Cant say enough good things about Profitness--Invest in yourself and go check them out!!! Their Instagram is full of good stuff as well if you want a sneak peak: @pro_fitness_training
