Ridgedale YMCA

A Fantastic Fitness Oasis at Ridgedale YMCA!

I can't say enough about the wonderful experience I had at Ridgedale YMCA! From the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew this place was special. Situated at 12301 Ridgedale Dr, Minnetonka, MN, the facility offers a fitness oasis that caters to all your health and wellness needs.

The swimming pool at Ridgedale YMCA is nothing short of impressive. Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or just want to splash around, the pool provides a refreshing and clean environment. The lifeguards are attentive, ensuring safety for all, which I found very reassuring.

The fitness center boasts state-of-the-art equipment that caters to every fitness enthusiast's dreams. There's an abundance of machines and weights, so you'll never have to wait for your turn. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to assist and guide you in achieving your fitness goals. Only negative point here I guess is you can't drop weight, Not that I do or want to but I know a lot of people working heavy weights and working specific exercises, they have to drop the weights.

One of my favorite features is the indoor walking track. It's a perfect way to warm up or cool down, offering a pleasant space to enjoy a leisurely walk while admiring the beautiful surroundings.

The gymnasium here is fantastic! It caters to various sports and activities, making it ideal for both solo workouts and team games. The energy on the court is infectious, and it's easy to get caught up in the fun.

Last but not least, the sauna at Ridgedale YMCA is pure bliss! After an intense workout, unwinding in the soothing warmth of the sauna was incredibly rejuvenating.

Overall, Ridgedale YMCA stands out for its top-notch facilities, cleanliness, and attentive staff. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or just starting your wellness journey, this place has something for everyone. It has become my go-to spot for staying active and relaxed. I highly recommend Ridgedale YMCA to anyone in Minnetonka or beyond – you won't be disappointed!

Great place to workout. Variety of machines both cardio and weight lifting. Spacious environment with lots of natural lighting. Clean lockers rooms and facility.

I travel to the Twin Cities area at least twice yearly. This is my first choice regarding YMCAs because it is clean, up-to-date equipment, friendly patrons, and friendly front desk staffers.

I just wish at least one trainer was on the weight room floor at all times (like my home YMCA). I’m very short and can’t reach to adjust cable machines, and I can’t lift heavy weights off of barbells that others have left on them. Sometimes, other patrons would help me. Sometimes, I had to skip parts of my workout that my YMCA trainer planned for me, so I could remain consistent while traveling.

All in all, go here. And, purchase yourself the national plan, so you can remain consistent with your exercise plan while traveling. If you can afford it, invest into the personal trainer package to help you learn how to exercise properly.

I really like this YMCA. The facility is new, clean with new equipment. I particularly like the gym that is surrounded by windows with a lot of natural light. The overall atmosphere is family oriented with a lot of activities for kids.

Very clean and equipment is very up to date. Probably the nicest Y I’ve been too! I love getting in a workout here when I’m back in MN! I wish all Ys were like this one.

Visited this Y as I stopped through for a trip. One of the more updated and modern Y’s I have been to. Treadmills were first class and rather new. Plenty of machines and squat racks.
Staff was friendly and helpful.

My son plays basketball and football at the Y. We went through a few coaches that weren't as involved as we'd like, especially with 7-9 year olds. Thankfully we found coach Mauricio! He has been incredibly amazing and dedicated to his team. I absolutely love how he gives each child the individual attention they need, helping them learn the fundamentals and strengthen their skills. He has really impacted my son in so many positive ways! Thank you coach Mauricio!

Great swimming staff. Nice pool for laps. Water temp is usually comfortable for laps. I've had adult group and private lessons and my kids have also had lessons. I have been impressed with swim teaching staff at all levels. Other areas of facility are well cared for, staff is friendly, trainers are very knowledgeable and strive to help clients meet their specific challenges and goals.

I have been going here for 38 years. Great programs, wonderfully friendly people., excellent equipment and very clean facilities.

Great location with convenient parking. Sauna in the women's locker room is always working. Staff is friendly and the window view looking out from the cardio area is nice!

I have been using the pool at the Y for about three years now. There were obviously some issues since the Covid outbreak last year, but they have tried to get back on their feet, gradually. I have appreciated the cleanliness of the pool and dressing room areas. I am usually able to swim when I want, even with the new reservation system. The staff has always been friendly. I would recommend the Ridgedale Y.

The gym is kept really clean and even at their busiest times you can find some space or a machine to go on. The staff is helpful and always around. I love the classes. They have great teachers that really know what their doing and keep you motivated. There's lots of options for any age or physical need. I would recommend this gym to anyone that's interested

I am such a fan of this YMCA. They renovated about 4 years ago, so everything is clean and up to date. They offer superb fitness classes, including water fitness, which I love. Their jacuzzi is the best in town. It has really strong jets. Ellen teaches great yoga classes. The gym has state-of-the art equipment. It is surrounded by windows, so the room is light and cheerful. Overall, a great facility!!!!!!

The facility is clean and we'll kept, and they have a good variety of ways you can work out (lots of classes, nice treadmills, ellipticals and weights, and good sized lap pool). Also, the staff AND the members here have ALWAYS been very friendly and helpful to me here, and I always feel welcomed and like I can talk to about anybody easily while or after I work out. Not the closest one to my house, but still my favorite YMCA.

The Ridgedale Y is the perfect place to work out. There are a wide variety of activities, classes and exercise opportunities to indulge in. The equipment is up to date and well maintained. The people are friendly and staff are helpful. I highly recommend it.

Good experience, I don't like bullies on this template- what I mean is negative comments.

Sharon is an Amazing Water Exercise Instructor!! Very personable and she definitely keeps us accountable!!! The Y is clean and the staff is polite! Its an Awesome environment!! I'm glad I became a member!!

Great YMCA, with an amazing Kids stuff staff. I have put all four of my kids in the kidstuff and have never once felt that their safety was in jepordy. There isn't a zero entry pool which is the only downfall. All the adult classes are great however they tend to be full, so get there early! YMCA is large and spread out. YMCA offered me a scholarship and really brought down the price to a reasonable level. This is just an amazing family friendly place.

Just joined and loving it so far. A wide variety of classes, always easy parking, locker rooms haven't felt crowded, and there's a large selection of machines available. The staff and clientele seem friendly and respectful.

I really enjoy working out here. The staff is friendly, the new fitness center is wonderful, classes for me are great, and the kids programs are even better. AND I love that their mission is to create healthier kids, families and communities!

My only suggestion for improvement is to extend the Kids Stuff programs hours on the weekends.
