★★★★★Carlos JohnsonI went to the boxing match today and it was great, the Vargas boxing family are doing a great job
★★★★★JayJay RoblesOne of the best YMCAs I've ever been to. They have a full-blown boxing gym, which is unique. I hope they keep it forever. The basketball court is nice too. I love my Y in VA, but this one is almost perfect.
★★★★★Bobby SundbyVery nice facility. Everything you need including clean modern locker room with sauna and steam room. Nice weight room and not at all too busy. Full basketball court, pool and multiple racquetball courts.
★★★Perry MasonLittle small, bit old, locker rooms are great. The hours with actual staff here are atrocious. I got lucky one day, the doors were open for an event, I didn't know that, tried to come back twice when there was a locked door for fob holders only. Don't always trust the google hours posted.
★★★★Arianna BunnowMy husband and I are visiting Sioux Falls for work for 2 months. We have a nationwide YMCA membership which is thankfully accepted at this location. However, they just changed their unlocked door hours to 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM, only allowing two hours for people to come without a front door fob to get in. During 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM we are working. So to come in the evening we have to wait outside the front door in the rain for a front desk worker to open the door and let us in. The desk only has a worker until 6:30 PM, so make sure to come before then if you’re not a local member. I asked how we can get a door fob to not have to wait outside every visit, but they only offer fobs to local members. The gym is also small, but usually not busy. EDIT: The YMCA was able to provide a key fob to us even though we are a nationwide member. We really appreciate this!
