    I am so very happy this Y isn't close to my home..but this isn't my idea of what the YMCA represents. Tons of privileged Mr. & Mrs. Karens running around. Make sure to get out of their way! Love the Mr. Karen Dude who has his vehicle parked in the front of the door. Waiting for kids? Hmmm...maybe. But maybe just another Edina Dude who doesn't have to follow the rules everyone else lives by (really dude-park your car & walk in).

    I love the southdale YMCA! I've only had good experiences here. The machines are all clean and new, and the staff are also very friendly. My only issue is that when a machine does break, it seems to take a long time for them to repair it. One of the stair masters has been faulty ever since I started working out here, and some treadmills have been broken for a week or so as well. But I also understand that getting repairs is tough in today's climate so I give it to them. Plus, the Y has an awesome buddy deal where you can get a membership for half off if you sign up with someone else! So I'm getting such a sweet deal for good machines, location, and service. I couldn't find any other gym with remotely as good of a deal or options for workouts. With this membership I can go to group fitness, workout anytime, use the locker room, pool, sauna... The list goes on. I'd never be able to afford the gym without this deal, so I have nothing but good words to share about the Y.

    I do not recommend going to this gym for serious gym goers. I was deadlifting minding my own business and they kicked me out.

    Lifetime Fitness in Edina is a state of the art gym and lifestyle establishment…read more It truly has everything you need: hundreds of cardio machines, weight machines, free weights, stretching areas, recovery area, fitness studios, group classes, kids academy (daycare while you workout), indoor pools, indoor hot tubs, steam room, saunas, showers, sushi restaurant, grab and go cafe, salon, and lounges with couches and tables to get some work done. Most impressive of all: the rooftop pools, bar and restaurant. It's truly one of the highlights of the city in my mind. Relax in one of the hundreds of lawn chairs, or grab lunch with a friend in the table area. Enjoy poolside service right at your lawn chair or even directly from the pool. Everything at the whole gym is kept impeccably clean and up to date. I recommend Lifetime Edina wholeheartedly.

    Lifetime Fitness (Southdale) Review I like the bar at…read moreLifetime Fitness Southdale--interesting people come here. Since many people who focus on their bodies don't drink, I was curious about their "one drink at a time" rule. Turns out, there's an exception--if you order a chaser, you can have 8 oz of beer instead of a full 16 oz pint... for the same price. When I arrived, I ordered: * A glass of tepid water * A Jameson whiskey * A Guinness The bartender, who I know was hired with no prior experience and little training, served me a full pint of Guinness and then left for several minutes to handle something at the register. Meanwhile, I was getting thirsty. Beer doesn't quench thirst, so with a dry mouth, barely able to form words, I asked again for my water. She kindly brought it over. After I finally wetted my whistle, I asked about my Jameson. She told me I couldn't have it because I already had one drink. I asked if they served boilermakers. She said no. I asked if I could get a chaser with my shot. She said sure. Then she took my full Guinness, poured 8 oz into a glass, and dumped the rest down the drain. I tried to stop her, saying she should drink it herself or that I'd buy another chaser since my friend was joining me. But nope--she dumped it anyway. Now, onto my actual reason for coming to Lifetime in the first place--I was meeting a friend. When I checked in, I informed the man at the front desk that my friend would be coming to meet me and that she is autistic, so they should watch out for her when she arrived. He agreed. Yet when she showed up, she was told she couldn't come in because it was members only. Fair enough. But the real issue? She felt scared and uncomfortable because of their loud, stern voices. If I let them know in advance that she was coming and even gave them a heads-up about her needs, you'd think they'd handle the situation a little more professionally instead of making her feel unwelcome and anxious. So, here's my verdict: * If you're picky about service or don't like paying extra for chasers, you might want to avoid the bar. * If you're looking for good sushi, the salmon sashimi is well-priced and hits the spot. * If you're expecting considerate customer service, don't count on it. For a high-end gym that prides itself on service, this visit was disappointing.

    Overall, I haven't really had any complaints with Kiddie Academy. The teachers have always been…read moreextremely wonderful and helpful. They take great care of the kids. But lately, it just seems like management has taken a step back. Whenever you call or email, no one would answer or I'd never get a response. When I finally did get a response to an email it was weeks (sometimes months) after and the response was cold and a little off-putting. As if they were annoyed that a parent would have a question about their child. It doesn't seem like there is clear communication between management and their staff as well as a lack of communication between management and parents. They seem to be short staffed and the current teachers are over worked to where they can't maintain the proper kid to teacher ratio. This ultimately affects the kids and hinders them from being moved up to the proper classrooms; which is very detrimental to their development. Because when a child becomes complacent and isn't being challenged enough, they get bored, act out and can regress.

    Miss this place so much! I used to be a teacher back in 2018. I also had my son in daycare while I…read moreworked and it was the best. The indoor gym is a must for all these cold MN winters. I loved the food. Always healthy and organic. The classrooms are so spacious and clean. The curriculum is amazing for all learning levels. Do yourself a favor and send your kid to Kiddie Academy. You will not be disappointed.
