★★★★Chad H.Great Y in general, but the free weights seem old and some machines such as the T bar are missing (unless I’m mistaken).
★Braden DeBoerIf you plan on using the weight room at all please do not waste your money on a membership here, it is next to impossible to get anything done with how crowded it is along with the lack of equipment. I’m leaving this review so no one else gets screwed like I did.
★★★★Greg SwansonNice facility that has a wide range of exercise and strength training equipment. Whether you're looking lose, tone up or simply stay active consider the Northfield Y. They now offer after hours access which works great for me due to my schedule and my not wanting to workout around a lot of people.
★★★★★Bryn BridleyLove this place! Northfield Y has been my go-to for workouts, child entertainment family event's, our son's birthday parties, and indoor running when old man winter is in town. Friendly staff, showers, pool, and the community room this place very accomodating.
★★★★★Grace SerafiniBeautiful facility. Very friendly. New equipment. Located close to carleton college and St Olaf’s for visiting parents. Most hotels allow access with your card key. Nice big windows with pretty views.
