I cannot recommend this place enough. Not only is there a ton of stuff for my kid to do while I work out, but we connected with some wonderful people for summer camp! My kiddo loves going and we stop in a few times a week for her to hang out in one of their many gyms, sitting areas, play area--wherever! The pool hours and maintenance can be hard to keep track of but that's just how some things are. Also, the staff know my kiddo so I feel way safe letting her relax with other kids or by herself in a court or table.
I recently visited the YMCA in Mankato and it was phenomenal. Everyone there helped me check in and showed me where everything was. The locker room was spacious. The gym was very well-organized, with plenty of space despite being close together, which I really liked. I would definitely go back every time I work out. I went to the pool, and they showed me where it was. They offered towels, and the pool wasn’t too deep. There were two big pools—one for swimming and another one for everyone. They also had a hot tub which I enjoyed. I was very impressed that they had a waterslide, although I didn’t get to use it. Nonetheless, it looked amazing, and I had a lot of fun. After my workout, I went to the sauna and it was amazing. It felt so good to relax there. Everything was indoors, and there were various levels and gyms with a lot of different activities available. I also noticed they had a teen week, which I believe was only for a week, but I really liked that they had their own space. My relatives would’ve loved having that available to them. Overall, a fantastic experience!
If the Y ever wonders why there has been fights during men’s league basketball. It’s the refs. They allow players to hit, pinch and slap other players. Multiple weeks I have left with bruises, scratches and once a black eye. All without receiving any calls. On top of that the older ref gave me a tech for asking a question. I didn’t raise my voice, complain or swear I simply walked away after he asked what my name was(after not understanding why he was asking). I asked why I received the tech at halftime. He said because he didn’t like how the conversation went but then confirmed I was respectful. These refs are the reason people get hurt, please hire better refs
Staff was very kindan helpful. A plus that they had a basketball court. The facility is a little dated but overall it has the basics for a good workout.
Staff and everyone at the Y are super friendly! Tons of amenities in one space and worth the membership fee.
