Rachel showed me how to use the equipment. She was willing and available if I needed more help. They have trainers that aren't pushy. The training area is private but large enough for several people to be trained, but the room is available for everyone at selected times, which is a great place to stretch before my workout, if they aren't training. The main room is large, has nice equipment and new equipment coming in all the time. Cool free weight area and it is spaced well, no smelling the sweaty person next to you. No one seems to be trying to impress anyone else and it isn't packed so it is less intimidating.

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).

I admittedly do not have a lot of experience as a gym member. The staff is friendly. The machines…read moreare 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.

We were so excited that this is included in your stay at Treasure Island. You can purchase passes…read moreas well if you are not staying on property, but since we were, it was a nice bonus. We went and experienced the Lagoon on the 3rd of July which is when TI was doing their fireworks and the hotel was completely sold out, so it was certainly busy with everyone decked out in their red, white and blue. We changed in our room as we had read there is no locker room and the lockers are paid lockers (confirmed that). My husband was excited about the swim up bar so we headed to the adults only section which is really amazing when there are a lot of kids. To get into the lagoon as a hotel guest, we needed our IDs so they could match us to our room and give us our wristbands. After you go sign waivers on ipads right around the corner. This got a little congested as there was a mix of technology users and all the Ipads were on a table and everyone stood at the table. They had free towels to use which was really appreciated, they are not big by any means but towels provided is fantastic. We dropped our coverups and shoes in a corner in the adult section which is what most people appeared to do. We spent the majority of the time in the swim up bar. The water was very comfortable. They had a assortment of canned drinks and 2 cocktails that were on draft (strawberry margs and blue razz lemonade). No mixed drinks or anything else. There was only 1 bartender working plus a bar back and she was getting worked for sure. When we were closing out 2 others were coming in. They only take cards and you can not charge to your room which seemed to create a lot of confusion since I think a lot of people wanted to charge to their rooms. We wanted to go the lazy river and there were enough tubes, however with the volume of kids in the river, we opted to just stay in the swim up bar for this trip. They had a pool you could splash around in, adult only hot tubs, lazy river, splash area for the littles and water slides, so really there is something for everyone.

What a great way to spend cloudy and rainy days. The kids had hours of fun switching between the…read morelazy river, the shallower little pool near the water slide, fountain spraying water and an overhead sprinkler/water bucket drop thing, and the smaller pool seating area near the bigger pool for water volleyball. There's an outside hot tub and adults only section too. Ample towels and good amount of free seating along the walls. Cabanas available for rent if you wanted. They also sell some boxed snacks, which were on the pricier side for what it was (gummies, nerds and animal crackers), canned alcohol (no shots) and drinks. Great way to kill some time, just don't look too closely at the color of the water if you took photos and were in the area with kids because it's real green.

Floors and floors of equipment, studios of classes, etc. Love it here. Did I mention there is a dance/ballroom? Yoga rooms, every machine imaginable, pools (4), a running track, all kinds of sports courts. There is a south gym with 3 tiers on the first floor, 3 more floors above (top floor was the running track), a floor below, and then an entire north gym. Toe north building had all the pools and a store, "the equipment room" where I able to buy a bathing cap. I used a pool for free swim and got lost in the women's locker room. I went in via the north building but came out the south building! So huge. Seriously, I can die now. It can't get any better than this.

This was my first visit for the purpose of volunteering at USA Swimming Junior National Championship. Parking can be a challenge for visitors. There is a nearby parking garage and very limited surface spaces. The area around the pool was clean. The building although dated to possibly the 70's is in great condition. The majority of the facility is the competition pool used by the University of Minnesota Swim team. The facility is nicely maintained. However, faculty and students can use the pool. The Olympic size competition pool is 50 meters with movable bulkhead, platform diving and well. The aquatic complex consist of approximately 145,000 gallons of swimming capability. The Long Course pool has eight lanes for competition.. The spectator area is expansive and spans the entire length of both sides of the pool and well. The public locker room area is large and pretty clean. There were two malfunctioning items. Great facility and hope to return for another event in the near future.

C4 has month to month unlimited packages and 5 or 10 class packages. The price is SO reasonable, and you can try the gym for free for a week. The community is welcoming from the very first day, and Mollie is available to answer all of your questions. I ended up going to the gym 3-4 times a week and tried classes ranging from boot camp to yoga. Prior to C4, I had stopped lifting and was out of shape, but the C4 instructors are ready to help all skill ranges and ages. I consistently had my form corrected and was encouraged to push myself throughout each class. I would stay with C4 forever if I wasn't moving! If you want a variety of fun workouts mixing cardio and strength training, a supportive community, and excellent trainers, you need to try C4. Special thanks to Mollie and Matt for all of the great classes!
