Havent been there yet but have talked to quite a few people that have said it is a great place with aquatics which I will benefit from tremendously. It will be part of my therapy for my legs and back. Hoping to correct the issues that I have that are keeping me down and get back to my old self. Gonna take a lot of hard work on my part but I think and believe this is the place for me. Even if it is quite a drive for me just to get there Im hoping the end result will be I can walk normal and stand up without having to sit so frequently due to back/leg pain.

Oxbow has more fitness but no basketball. It has a very nice swim pool with plenty of open swim time.Both locations offer 2 hour daycare for while youre working out. The oxbow location has a broader age range of activities.

Its a little busy, however I like the amenities included in the membership. They have a co-ed sauna, pools, hot tub, several different training areas and free yoga classes included.

Was staying in Sioux Falls a few days decided to try this place out and was not disappointed. Friendly environment with friendly staff. Nice and organized equipment.

Sanford is discriminatory to those who are not able to wear masks or other face coverings (or simply choose not to for various reasons). And plans to keep their mask mandate in place until 70% or more of the population is vaccinated? They attempted to use this 70% requirement to convince city council to hold the people of Sioux Falls hostage to a city wide mask mandate extention, and almost succeeded. Thankfully, citizens showed up and helped to end it.I just want to go to the gym and workout, yet Sanford insists on trying to harass patrons in an attempt to enforce masks and other medical devices/procedures/drugs on patrons, as if bodily autonomy doesnt exist anymore. They have already received alot of backlash for attempting to mandate vaccines, regardless of medical and religious exemptions. Now they are mandating masks and face coverings to walk into the gym. Oh but guess what, you dont have to wear them when you workout because covid miraculously cant be spread in the gym, despite everyone huffing and puffing everywhere. Im so sick of the coercion and harassment associated with the theater of masks, especially for businesses that are operating as public accomodations. Ill be taking my money elsewhere

As long as theres no screaming kids, youll like it here

I go 3 times per week for warm water sessions, now P.T. since having knee replacement. Will also do bridging the gap when completed. LOVE their help and expertise.

Love swimming here. Pre-covid the pool was open all day so I could swim whenever I wanted. Its still open quite a bit and should work with almost anyones schedule.

Wow! Such a cool gym with pretty much any amenity that you could want.

The lady that walked us through the whole place was in perfect shape her name was Susan and she knew her job inside and out answered all our questions showed us everything if you ever get a chance to go there and you need to go there talk with Susan 100% and then some

Everyone here is always so friendly. When youve got 4 kids from 5months to 14years, helpful and friendly people are a must when considering whether or not to revisit!

Very nice staff and safe workout environment.Lots of good people here

I love this gym. I have been using it for 5 years and they care about you. The equipment is clean and new. They update a lot. The basketball games are great. VERY CLEAN.

Its good a quality facility.

Really enjoying going to class.

I reserved the racquetball court for an hour and had a great workout. The staff were helpful and friendly.

A great family gym and great facilities! Extremely clean and that is so important with in our world today.

Great place to work out. Usually not overcrowded

Lots of workout rooms if you want a room with more or less people and racket ball rooms and rackets you can borrow, friendly staff too

Excellent clean very helpful and great place to exercise

Fun clean and well taken care of. Awesome place to go to.

Could be open a little later on weekends.

No matter why I need to go to Sanford I feel Safe because they enforce mask wearing by staff and patients. Their facilities are Always clean and ever staff member treats you with Respect and true compassion.

The wellness center has a lot of equipment and room to workout. Sadly they lose points for unforgiving covid policies. At the beginning of the pandemic they sent a poorly worded email saying that they would put all memberships on hold until reactivated. 5 months later I realized they were still billing me for my membership and asked them to cancel it. They refused to even refund one month to help out with hardship even though it was their poor communication that caused the issue. I will not be returning to the wellness center because they lack compassion for those in hardship and their covid policies dont look out for their members.

Nice place

There are so many great classes to chose from. My son loves the daycare room. The front desk staff knows me by my first name. This is my home away from home.

Amazing staff, great class variety. Daycare is phenomenal and hours are good as well. Clean and spacious.

I have been a member here for about 2 months and have been extremely happy with my membership. Ive taken a few group fitness classes including heated yoga and had a great experience. I primarily use the stationary bike in the main gym but Ive also enjoyed working out in the smaller gym which is a bit more private and less crowded.

Great place with lots of options. Large fitness center with a lot of machines. Nice locker rooms and friendly staff. My husband and I used guest passes that we had been given and the front desk then gave us a week pass, which was nice.The only reason we didnt join was because we live and work out of town and it was a lot of driving for us that week to work out.

Go to the performance center to avoid a crowd. Sauna and pool is awesome. Poor review is for hours and location for price of amenities that could be done better.

Super friendly staff.

I love wellness. center my friend and I go there to lose weight

Great facility with lots to offer. Pools for lap swimming and water aerobics, dry sauna and hot tub, a very well equipped exercise area circled with running/walking lanes. Lots of exercise machines: stationary bikes, ellipticals, stair climbers. Wide variety of weight machines and free weight. They offer lots of classes and the staff is unfailingly friendly. Great value for the cost.

Sanford Wellness is a center for all levels of fitness. You can just be trying to lose a little weight, finally moving your butt off the couch, mildly fit and maintaining, or a seasoned athlete training for that next race or athletic event. There are plenty of machines and weights, a large pool, a running track, and all kinds of group fitness classes. Quality trainers and friendly staff are always on site, too, ready to help!

This is a one-stop-shop for any athlete. And always trying to improve on an already awesome experience. Friendly knowledgeable staff. And always immaculate. Equipment is always in top condition. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing for anyone from the serious workout person to the families looking for a great place to teach their children about health, wellness, and fitness, to the person who fell out of shape and looking to improve their health. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They have so many classes to pick from to either get in shape, stay in shape, or even train for a Triathlon. The swimming lessons for kids is awesome. Megan and her crew do a great job and it costs less money than anywhere else I have ever seen. They also have a kids gym which has tons of stuff to do for kids and shorter hoops to play basketball. The locker rooms are kept up very nice and love the pool, sauna, and hot tub too. Cant say enough about how awesome this place is for me and my family. Thank you to all who work there and keep up the great job. If you are looking for a place to workout or add to your family fun spots, this is a great choice.

Experienced instructors, great classes and wonderful equipment if you want to go it alone. They offer more aquatic classes than anyone in the area. Warm pool classes are geared towards those who need better flexibility, strength and conditioning. Private locker rooms for families as well as men/women.

The facility is great, always clean and well maintained. The staff is patient and welcoming, they make an effort to remember our names and are always warmly friendly but not annoyingly so.We like the pool because it is large and there is usually plenty of room for everyone to swim comfortably. They also have plenty of open swim time unlike the YMCA which we used to belong to.The childcare is excellent clean, friendly, and open almost as long as the rest of the facility. When we were YMCA members the hours were spotty and if we planned to bring our daughter we had to make sure the daycare was open.Our daughter is quite shy but after just a few visits she asks every day to go. Shes made friends with the staff and they are always attentive to her needs. Even the other kids there seem to be really friendly. Its just a good, fun place for a little kid to play while parents are working out.

I work out here a lot and I really enjoy this gym. Theres two separate weight rooms so Ive never felt cramped in this place. Theres also a lot of other things to do here and they are starting on a big renovation. Great place!

Nice place. Wierd setup tho with the open concept

Their gym is second to none in town and their daycare is amazing. If youre a parent you need to sign up with Sanford. Theyve got long hours, a huge list of classes, several gyms focusing on different activities and theyre incredibly clean.I was a YMCA member for many years but Sanford is reasonably priced and in a class of their own.

This is my new favorite gym in town. They have two huge rooms for cardio and lifting, a really hot sauna, a great spot for kids to go have a good time too. Really, I cant imagine what could make this place better.

I would be nice if some people would not use the locker room like their own personal spa. Wrap yourself with a towel or put on some shorts for God sake. I never use the vanities because Ive seen way more than anyone should have to.

Great place to work out. Lots of weight machines. Cool down track. Swimming pool. Whirlpool. Spa.

The people that I have come in contact with are very helpful and genuinely friendly. The facility has always been very clean and very well equipped with modern state of the art equipment in my opinion. The swimming pool facility is the best that we have found and we have tried other facilities, we gladly remained at our Sandford Wellness Center

Absolutely incredible gym. The track, and weights are quality, and theres plenty of equipment to go around. Great gym. Highly recommend.

We LOVE this place!!!!!💕 Great and amazing staff, clean, with Beautiful newly updated interior, wonderful exercise machines! Classes are great with fun, energetic instructors! Swimming lessons for kids are really good, wonderful lap pool, yoga room and indoor cycling room.

Facility is great, very personable staff. The Only issue I have is many of the locks of the the lockers are worn out and should be relaced. Been a fan there for years. Love it!!

Very clean, friendly and helpful staff, alot of workout space for any type of work out.

Ive been a member off and on for 20 years. I learned to swim here and practiced for high school sports here. They recently renovated a large portion of their gym and lobby.

Great gym and facilities. I go every time I visit my family over the holidays

Excellent gym for strength training and fitness classes.

Definitely pricey for the quality of facilities. However, it’s almost never too packed and has everything you would need for a gym. The pool is usually open, which is a big plus.

My husband and I used guest passes and we loved this place. Clean with great classes and equipment.

Big facility that offers many classes and good equipment without any lines or extra costs.

Great place. Staff is always friendly. Great Kids Area.

Absolutely friendly to members and their kids!! Very friendly atmosphere and employees....GREAT PLACE...enjoying our family membership!!

Best. Gym. Ever. Pool (heated and non-heated). Sauna. Jacuzzi. Daycare. Wide variety of equipment with large and small gyms.

Great staff, great equipment, fair price!

The staff at the wellness center are very nice and knowledgeable. If you have questions they are always willing to help.

This gym has everything you need. State of the art equipment

Good classes at a reasonable price. Nice salt water pool but hot tub is way too clorine ladden.

Great daycare for kids while you can work out

Great equipment, large variety of machines and cardio equipment.

Excellent place for workout solo or with Family or Friends.

Best place to work out. So many choices for my workouts.

Great place to fit, multiple classes for everyone if every shape and size hah, from swimming arobics, to fitness training, love it.

Great staff. Great classes. Great facilities!!

Great facility with lots of nice updates. Staff is always helpful, kind, and courteous.

Awesome gym and people! Only place in sioux falls with squash courts which makes it unique,

Staff was great a lot of people there

Very nice facility with water exercise classrs

Great place to get a good work out and very friendly staff

The classes are excellent. Just those makes joining this gym worthwile

Great pool, great staff, good raquetball courts.

Has excellent variety of exercise equipment

The gym is great but there is on blonde woman that is a pool supervisor that is a b***h that needs to be down graded to a life guard ruined all the fun for the kids and wouldnt even let them jump into the pool this is why I give it a one star rating also I find it is pretty pathetic they send in the biggest guy they can find to kick kids out that are under 12

I went to Sioux falls therapeutic massage . Don does a great job and is super knowlagable.

Very friendly. Wheelchair accessible. And a very clean facility

Soo huge and lovely and just wow.

Not a good place for single people. Unless you are about 6 foot 5 AND 300lbs and all muscle! As well as having arms larger than my head! The ladies will NOT give you the time of day here. Talk about gymtimidation here. It is severe! So many genetically gifted people {which I am not} that probably spent their whole life in a gym! I quit Sanford and started going to Planet Fitness. I have not been snobbed once there unlike my many snobbed experiences here at Sanford! I saw the ladies having conversations with the big muscle guys on a daily basis when I was a member there. A great place to work out though! Especially if your genetically gifted. Unlike me. Im more of a computer geek. I guess gyms just arent my thing.

Full service and full featured gym. Good classes and lots of room.

A good gym, great staff and workout equipment

I love the sauna, whirlpool and that my kids can go swimming while I am in the hot tub great service

So So so far. Overall the place is what it needs to be and they seem to have everything one needs for whatever they are planning to do to workout. But I do have one issue when you get off work and have a limited amount of time to get in there work out and get home to care for your family, dont expect being able to accomplish much because the place is packed. That is to be expected but the real issue I dont understand why the facility is having calisthenic class during this time right smack dab in the middle of the weight room area, especially when the basketball court is empty and blocking access for weightlifters to the equipment.

It is a beautiful helpful place for therapy and to work out very very supportive staff

I LOVE THE WELLNESS CENTER! I have been going here since I was young and still love it! Zumba is my absolute favorite class! You dont have to be a great dancer to have fun! But trust me if you keep going you will see the pounds drop off! I Went from 220 to 160 in about 2 years thanks to the gym! Its really taught me how to move my hips and feel comfortable doing it around other people! Now I be poppin at all the clubs haha pluse its really not that expensive and totally worth it 😀

Great value and friendly staff

One stop shopping /swim,crossfit, hoop,spin class, anything you want.

Good place to take the kids swimming

Great place, staff is friendly and willing to help on getting you in shape.

My wife and I try to go exercise and swimming 3 or more times a week for at least an hour ending up with a few minutes in the hot tub before hitting the shower.

Did not feel like I was out of place. I felt like I actually was invited and wanted to be there.

The place is always busy, crowded, not enough parking spaces.

Very friendly staff. A pleasent place to work out

Best place ever!

Friendly and helpful staff! Clean facility and a wide variety of classes to choose from!

THIS PLACE IS THE PLACE TO BE WHAT ISNT TO LIKE!!!!

Friendly staff. Nice machines.

One of the best wellness centers in Sioux falls.
