Plan your visit
- Day pass around $50 — check current rates; most gyms price gear rental separately and discount off-peak
- Gear rental nearly every climbing gym rents shoes (~$5–8 typical) and chalk; harness rental is often bundled with a ropes pass
- Waiver always required at climbing gyms — sign it online before you go to skip the front-desk line
- First timer? bouldering needs zero experience — rent shoes and walk in; staff will point you at the easiest problems
- Yoga & fitness mentioned alongside the climbing — ask about the class schedule and what a pass includes
- Memberships available — worth asking about if you'd climb more than a few times a month

What's inside
“I'm obsessed with the fitness classes and their instructors (body pump and yoga flow are my usual).”
What climbers say again and again
“they're clean and they allow me to get clean, but the stall showers are a tight squeeze (unless you're okay touching the walls and curtain).”

From the reviews
Clean, modern looking facility with friendly staff and quite a few different fitness spaces. Quite a bit of cardio equipment as well as egym strength which is cool. I do wish they more racks and overall free weight options - maybe add some Hammer Strength racks and plate loaded equipment.
YMCA Edina is a solid facility, especially if you care about modern equipment and a better pool setup. The machines here feel newer and more updated compared to Ridgedale, and the pool is definitely a step up as well. One standout feature is the eGym, which is great for guided strength training and tracking progress.
Absolutely love this Y! I've never been a YMCA member before, so I'm new to the whole organization. My husband and I joined because we needed a gym and the Lifetime down the street is on an 1000 person waitlist. What? To our surprise, we absolutely love the Y!
I haven't run into a single person who wasn't pleasant & welcoming. The shower facilities are just okay... they're clean and they allow me to get clean, but the stall showers are a tight squeeze (unless you're okay touching the walls and curtain). The rest of the locker room is bright, cheery, clean, and plenty big.
