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

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.

★★★★☆ — Forrest, Jan 2024

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.

★★★★☆ — Mathew, Dec 2025

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.
