As I browsed the Workout Buddies - Gyms thread, I thought it might be nice to start separate threads for the different chains of gyms. Not to divide the group or anything, but just to make it easier for folks to meet up if they are so inclined. So since I go to the Y, I'm starting a Y thread.
My home Y is the one in Coon Rapids, though I occasionally hit up other locations depending on scheduling. Where are my YMCA peeps at?? :laugh:

Me! I currently go to primarily the Elk River branch, but DT Mpls is soon in my future, with occasional Blaisdell or Southdale workouts.0

I'll be checking out the DT Y soon too, my benefits provider OptumHealth has an office there I hear, & they do a professional gait analysis. Much more elaborate than the 30-second one running stores do to sell you shoes. At some point I need to get around to looking into it & scheduling an appt!Me!

I have been been a member for a while now and go to the Lino Lakes location. However.... Its really packed and at times difficult to get a certain routine I had planned.
How is the population at your locations?0 -
Chain of Lake Lino Lakes right here.0

I work out at the downtown YMCA over lunch during the week. If you want a great workout, hit-up the bootcamp class on Wednesdays @ 11:45 with James. His class is killer! Other than that you can find me on the third floor treadmills and in the pool after the Masters class gets done.
On the weekends, I will be at the Andover Y usually cathching the 8:30 spin class with Peter.0 -
The Coon Rapids Y has a pretty large membership, but I only find it packed at certain times of day, usually between 5-6:30 in the evenings. Otherwise I never have issues getting at what I need in the weight room or finding a treadmill.I have been been a member for a while now and go to the Lino Lakes location. However....

If you want a kickarse spin class, see if you can check out one of Tahna's at Coon Rapids. She's a BEAST.I work out at the downtown YMCA over lunch during the week.

I work out at the Ridgedale YMCA. I mostly use the treadmill and attend a few classes once in a while. Right now I'm doing 30DS at home so not going as much.0

I've been to a few different Y's because of the assortment of classes. My fav is Southdale, but I live closer to MN Valley (B'ville). Before work I go to DT Mpls...0

I like Southdale because they have racquetball, but I'm not sure I'm crazy about how the new fitness floor is laid out. It just seems weird to me. Plus they don't have an indoor track & my kids are too young for the treadmill yet, so there are less options for them.I've been to a few different Y's because of the assortment of classes.

I was a Downtown St. Paul/Coon Rapids Y member for a few years then stopped and went to Lifetime Fitness. After a year of being at LTF I've decided to go back to the Y. I miss the classes and I miss being able to go on my lunch hour so my evenings are free. M-F I will be downtown St. Paul. Some evenings and weekends you'll find me at Coon Rapids or Lino Lakes. Today will be my first day back to the Y. Checking out the class RIPPED with some co-workers.0

I hope you LOVED RIPPED! I think Tonya is still teaching that class and she is amazeballs. I love her energy and her encouragement0

I wasn't able to make it to RIPPED but I'm hoping to make it there this week. Tonya is a co-worker of mine. I love everything she teaches. 0 -
Mostly WSP, but sometimes Eastside or Eagan. I haven't gotten into a totally regular schedule. I can't wait for warm weather so the outdoor pool can open!0

Eastside and Eagan both have indoor tracks. Here is a handy amenities list:
