The coaches are some of the best in the state! They take the time to help you move correctly, safely, and efficiently. Stop by and see for yourself.

My daughter and I arrived on a Sunday afternoon to go swimming. We used to be members but are no longer. I was unaware of the reservation requirement. When we walked in, one of the front desk ladies was looking at me like... what do you think you are doing here. The two staff were extrememly rude, they offered no help. It took them forever to eventually explain the reservation process. Our friends invited us to go swimming and did not have a reservation but they had passes so they got in. The front desk ladies said the pool reservations were full but obviously didnt verify because our friends said that the pool was not that busy. Never going back there agian. Shame on their HORRIBLE customer service. My daughter left balling. Way To GO, ladies. Super disappointed.

Come check out the Eagan Y if you need a place to workout. Their classes are great, friendly staff and group instructors. Theyve done a great job listening to members desires for early morning classes. Also a clean environment!

Wanted to share our experience of the swimming lessons at the YMCA in Eagan. I left a voicemail and emailed Jordyn A, the director of the swimming program back on 3/6/2020 and followed up on 5/19/2020. I never did receive a response. Below is what I sent her...The swim instructor (didnt get her name) said she would be talking to her boss about our situation last night, and someone would be contacting me about switching the kids into an appropriate level. Ive already requested a refund with the front desk, but honestly, it has very little to do with the money. Below is a summary of what happened from my perspective. Not sure if there is anything you can actually do to make this better, but thought you needed to know. Our kids names are X and Z._________________________________________I couldnt sleep last night. My husband couldnt sleep. My 4 year old daughter woke up from her first nightmare, begging me to never leave her. Im still struggling.My kids, 4 & 6 have been in swimming lessons since before they could walk. My daughter has advanced into a level beyond her age group at Wise Swim School, JD-1 (ages 5+). My son is physically stronger/taller, but hasnt had the motivation to advance yet into a higher level beyond JD-2. To try something new & save a few bucks, I signed the kids up for lessons at the YMCA in Eagan. Theyve never been, so I selected the class level online based on the description of what they do at Wise, Beginning Strokes (ages 4-12). Their first lesson was last night (3/5/2020) and since its on my way home, I came from work and arrived just a few minutes after they started. As I pulled into the parking lot, I got a text from my husband saying...Our daughter almost f*cking drowned!I found my way to the pool and saw my husband sweating and very disturbed. Thinking maybe hes overreacting, I sat down and asked him if everything was okay? (Clearly he was not okay.)A few minutes later, in a class of only 3 kids (2 are mine), I witness a middle aged woman refusing to smile telling my excited kids to swim front stroke, and switch to back stroke... across the Olympic size pool to the opposite end. Im like... wait what? The kids are smiling, having a blast and I see my daughter try. Moments later, not only was the instructor no longer watching, but neither was either of the high school lifeguards on duty. At this point, half way across the pool, my daughter had stopped swimming...gulping water, reaching up for the lane divider and gasping for air. She LOVES swimming and didnt seem too scared, but both my husband & I damn near jumped in the pool to grab her. This mama bear immediately walked over to the other end of the pool & yelled to the instructor that clearly the kids cannot do what youre asking of them and need to be in a lower age appropriate class!?! She responded... Oh, yeah, I was going to talk to you after the class. I didnt say it, but was literally thinking... Oh, is that before or after the paramedics are called!?!With my heart pounding, I immediately went to the front desk and asked for whomever is in charge of the swimming program. The swim director was named was Jordyn A. and she was unavailable at the moment. They handed me her card and said to get in contact her the following day. They looked into switching them into a lower class, but everything was full. Still shaking, I just asked for a refund, left my phone number and asked to have the director contact me.Swim instructors & lifeguards have like one job - to teach and/or to keep our children safe. If the child SAYS they dont know what youre asking of them, and clearly cannot do the task without help, why would you continue to push it when their physical safety is in jeopardy?________________________________Even 18 months later, the feeling of anger, guilt & fear still linger from that first day of swimming lessons at the YMCA in Eagan. Hopefully those two employees involved have moved on to other jobs/positions. But, if not, consider yourself warned.

This was my first time back to the YMCA since the covid-19 situation began in March. I was very happy to see that precautions are being taken there, people are wearing masks, and there is social distancing. I hope this continues. Note that their hours are currently changed. They are not open on Sundays, for now. Also, we received calls from a membership person now and then during recent months just to check how we are doing. We appreciated that.

Just recently joined the Eagan YMCA and couldn’t be happier!! The staff at the front desk are always super friendly and willing to help with any questions, concerns or simply show you around. They have a awesome walking/running track which is a huge reason I joined this location. If your looking for tons of amenities and awesome staff join the Eagan YMCA you won’t be disappointed!

Love it here! Great childcare my kids actually enjoying coming here. Have not attended any classes but use the fitness center and track regularly and love it. I also use the sauna and locker rooms/showers every time I come here and love the sauna and like the layout of everything but showers often feel dirtier then I’d expect. But still love this Y and look forward to coming here regularly!

Took my 6 YO son to this location for swim lessons, and here is my final feedback:- Trainers: (4 stars) They were far better than the community lessons.- Facilities (2 star) Locker rooms were kind of gross/dirty. This is specific to the family locker room.- Pool (3 star) The pools are nice, but spectating is difficult being inside the pool area.- Staff (3 star) Front desk always friendly/helpful, but the long-haired lifeguard dude is a real piece of work. Kept asking about wristbands after we finished lessons and my son wanted to warm up in the kiddie pool. Im sure hes a decent lifeguard, but he sucks at human interaction. We wont be returning because of some unnecessary negative interactions with this guy. Try explaining things in a non-confrontational way, buddy.

They were good up until recently. They had a phenomenal Tuesday nigh yoga sculpt class. It was the only one of its kind offered at the YMCA throughout the metro area! First, they shortened it to 45 minutes then they removed Yoga Sculpt from the club all together. I don’t get it. I love that class. They also lost Minda Flow around the same time! They’re friendly and in general mean well but they lost the best part of the experience which was Minda flow and Erin Sculp!

They have upgraded the weight room some time in the past month or so. I used to sometimes have to wait my turn for one of the two squat racks, but now they have added two new multipurpose racks plus platforms for deadlifts. Great place to train!Pool with daylight. Good sized indoor track. Sauna in the locker room.

The facility is well maintained and staff (front desk, child care) is pleasant and very professional. Michelle in the fitness center provided me with an excellent orientation, she took the time to learn about me and my health drivers and objectives. She tailored a custom workout that is aligned with my fitness objectives. I truly look forward to working out and receiving direction and guidance from Michelle to achieve my fitness goal.

The management of Eagan Y is best teacher of patience. I asked a question/had an aquatic request over a month ago. Ive made 5 phone calls and emailed customer service 3 times. Im still waiting for an answer. Thank you for the lesson! Update: still havent heard back since my initial contact February 20 and continue to practice patience on April 22.

I would rate this Y a 5 if not for the minor inconvenience I had checking in with the nationwide membership program. It still needs tweaking.The branch staff was very friendly and attentive (its good to see attentive life guards!). The equipment was new, clean and well kept. This is a gem of a Y. Keep up the great work, just tweak the nationwide checkin.

I’ve been to the Eagan Y for a few years.The location certainly needs updates soon, no doubt.But the staff do a great job, great attitude and I honestly can’t complain, my kids love it, love body pump, love it that their open until 10 PM. If they can extend that to 11 PM for people who work late, that would be great.Would love to see the Eagan Y updated.

My son has had swimming lessons here for years, and the instructors have always been great. He has learned a lot over that time, and you can track the positive progression.Outside of that, the facility could use some upgrades in regards to equipment and offerings. To me, the awesome staff is the biggest draw to continue coming to this location, so thank you for that.

Review №35

Really friendly staff but someone needs to monitor the gym. Kids are constantly bringing soda and Gatorade in and spilling it. The gym also has like 4 dead spots where you cant shoot from because of the track overhead, really poor planning. Otherwise its a good spot for kids and family alike.

Mi
Review №36

Not the best YMCA I have ever been to. Staff is friendly but amenities are lacking. Youth sports program is not my favorite, they would do well to invest in some better training for their paid coaches, or switch over to 100% parent volunteered coaching. Would love to see some expansion and upgrading to the facility. Multiple Racquetball courts would be a HUGE add as well as more studio space.

Terrifying experience, I registered my child In the beginning of the fall. She was really happy at the first week. She is very social and likes to play with other kids even if she met them for the first time. In the second week she got sick and stayed home for the whole week. In the third week she was crying every day when I drop her off. In the same week on Thursday I dropped her off, she cried more than the previous day. I left her because I thought nothing wrong, but when the child cray that much there should be something wrong. I picked her up early and I noticed her face looks tired, but the teacher said that she was crying all day. At home, she said my nick hurt. I asked her who hurt your nick. She said teacher hit my nick. I asked her many times teacher or friend. She replayed teacher. I just was shocked! I’ve talked to the manager and she told me she will talk to the teachers and the teachers denied. I ‘ve also contact the customer service and they said they will contact the manager, and nothing happened after that. Unforcefully, I have no proof, but I believe my daughter because kids in that age don’t lie. Ill never take my daughter again to this daycare or any other branch of this organization. Never ever!

Ample facilities. But towel service is extra and at that price Id just go to lifetime fitness. I prefer the community focused mission of the YMCA. This location lacks enough step Mills, lacks an incline bench press, and maintains an unreliable schedule for aquatic amenities. Lifetime is nicer but I prefer the YMCA.

In major need of a remodel. Locker rooms, pool and hot tub need to be deep cleaned or replaced. The hot tub has dirt lines and when the jets are going, you can see the brown foam dirt. Mold/ mildew on tiles in locker rooms/bathrooms. I live in Eagan however I go out my way to go to a different location. I hope this location can get remodeled.

I come here for the free weight equipment. The equipment is just a few months old but it doesnt look like it has ever been cleaned and some if the barbells have already been bent. If they wont clean the equipment themselves they should leave better cleaner out so we can clean it ourselves. Staph infections are preventable.

DayCare: Most of the teachers don’t seem like they want to be there other than to collect a pay check. Don’t expect them to be friendly and down specially one of them with big BMI. She is very short tempted and very negative towards the kids. We raise our kids to Love and care for others. Our daughter is only 2. If she sees someone crying, she will hug and give you a forehead kiss to comfort. All the time even if she sees sad faces.We speak multi language at home so she picks it every other word language she listen. It concern her that she doesn’t list direction. My wife tried to explain to the same lady but doesnt listen. Just FYI We have other 3 grown kids.They called us multiple times while we are at work with bunch of reason. we have to leave work and pick her up. We took her to her doctor every time and everything is normal. The doctor wrote a letter. The lady keep coming with reasons that we thought she is pushing us . At last it become too much so we decided to take our money and kid somewhere else. Ofcorese the management team resigned or transferred from Eagan to somewhere else.

Was visiting Eagan for a week, and am a YMCA member from Colorado. The Y in Eagan is okay, but the warm water pool is lacking as it is only 3 foot. Not very useful for pool therapy. In Denver the Y I go to has an 8 ft pool. Was disappointed to say the least.

Very disappointed in this facility. I spent ten minutes driving around the parking lot this morning, and there wasnt a single available parking space. And when I have been able to find parking, Ive been disappointed in their equipment. The facility is severely outdated. For how much members pay youd think they would be up to date, but that is not the case. At this point, my family is strongly considering canceling their membership. Its just not worth the hastle.
