I really feel lucky that I tried this YMCA on my trip from the East to the West. As you can see in…read morethe other reviews, yes, it is huge, fantastic, and the staff is sooooooo friendly! Let me explain every word I use here in details: Huge - the whole building has four stories, all YMCA! Fantastic - I did not have a chance to try the workout facility, just a glance and was shocked by the amount. What I did experience was the facility for shower. There were a hot tube, a sauna, huge bathrooms, free towels, free coffee, and you can borrow a key to lock your locker at the front desk - very considerate! They just have everything you can think of! Friendly staff - I was actually travelling, and told the staff I would like to purchase a one-day pass just to take a shower because I did not have the energy to workout in the gym after hiking whole day. (when I told the same thing to the staff in Anytime Fitness in the same city I got kicked out! Even with a pass! Residents of Rapid City, that local store of Anytime Fitness in your city is really a SHAME to that great national wide brand! I feel sorry for you that you do not have the chance to experience what a REAL Anytime Fitness provides to members in other cities. But you are so lucky that you have the best YMCA in the country! ) They even waived my one-day pass purchase because I only had less than two hours to use the gym. With that FREE pass I was honored UNEXPECTEDLY, a lady spent 20 minutes to introduce all facility they have to make me feel home, even when she knew I was just a passenger and might never be back! Thank you so much! I would like to share this experience as a traveler to Rapid City to every one who live in or visit this city and look for a good gym. Again, dear residents of Rapid City, you are unlucky because you have the worst store of the world wide brand Anytime Fitness, but you are so lucky that you have the best YMCA in this country! I have been travelling all across the country and I am qualified by my experience of both brands to conclude that. Also look at the other reviews of these two local fitness businesses, and you will find the same thing was repeated by different people.

Have been a member of the Rapid City Y for 56 years. I worked there full-time in college, taught…read moreclasses for two decades, and donated thousands of hours officiating kid's events. Have deep connections with the facility and countless member friends. A few weeks ago, I was physically assaulted by a young member, accused of something I didn't do, and came under defamatory personal attack. Despite my history and lengthy spotless usage, the Y staff did nothing. I have been passed to six different people. None have been remotely helpful. And I'm encountering difficulty getting refund on the 6 months I've paid ahead. I'm both heartbroken and disgusted. The current Y is unrecognizable with the facility I thought I knew. Leadership is unprofessional and comes off as having no actual insight into the reasons that people use the facility and choose to remain there. After 56 years, these decisions are unpleasant, but I feel completely devalued and betrayed.

Good luck canceling your membership. I had to speak directly with collections to refute it…read more Nightmare experience. Just another predatory business trying to fleece their customers. staff is rude, facility is dirty (like maybe never been cleaned kind of dirty), and the whole place smells terrible. i would not recommend the weight room. I'd sooner recommend the big purple gym with the lunk alarm if you catch my drift. At least the purple one is clean.

First, I want to say this is a really nice gym! I love how everything is very spread out, they have…read morethe full body circuit on one end and then they have large side rooms with a lot of of the newer equipment that we're seeing in some of the other gyms across the country My only complaint is that there were quite a few machines that were out of order, however, I am not going to take any stars off for that because there was a gentleman on site with a whole bunch of equipment fixing things! So I'm sure all of this will be sorted out soon This is one of the few locations to have a bar to do barre (actually they have two) Nide! Great place to work out- we visited twice while in town. It's a popular gym - and BUSY- so plan accordingly :)

Tonight I get there, they let me scan in and then come to the locker room to tell me there's a problem with my account. I go talk with the manager and am informed that my wife needs to be with me every time since she is the primary person on the account. Without her I am not able to use the gym. I mention that they have allowed me to use it like this for the past month, and was told it was ok when we signed up. The response was "yeah, but we aren't anymore", and that I would need a new account. Mind you, upon signing up we were told different. They either need to be clear on their rules when asked during enrollment, or train their staff better.
