St. Paul Midway YMCA

I have a family member and it is well built so that the child and the family can have time. But the kids staff are not trustworthy and the staff are not prepared to work with children. please train the children's staff to work with children.

The workout area is to small. They need to remove the middle room area to make it bigger.. bcuz it feels cramped . I visit the y near southdale instead bcuz its more spacious . Shower area is small . Certain locker areas r small . Locker room in general is big so it makes no sense.. needs a big renovation in all ways.. 3 stars bcuz the (ymca) vibe is off (Was harassed by a 20 or 30 something female hispanic janitor for using the bathroom) i needed privacy to use the restroom in the locked bathroom, I was in there for a couple minutes when she needed to clean it and was knocking every 1 minute while I was in there trying to take care of my business, I said it was occupied and continued to display ignorance.. she knocked very loudly 4 or 5 times smh.. very unprofessional and lacking of common courtesy, no common sense found in that display of rudeness.. 12/31/25

I’ve been a member of many health clubs over the years, but my experience at the YMCA has truly stood out — and that’s largely because of the incredible coaches who dedicate their time to helping us reach our health goals. In particular, I want to highlight the amazing Tonya C. Tonya is the kind of coach who strikes the perfect balance between encouragement and challenge. She knows how to push you past your comfort zone while making you feel supported every step of the way. Every class with her is more than just a workout — it’s a boost of confidence, a dose of motivation, and even a little therapy rolled into one. She sprinkles in wisdom and encouragement that make you believe in yourself and remind you that you can do hard things. It’s clear that Tonya pours her heart into what she does. Her energy, dedication, and genuine care for her class members elevate the entire experience. I feel so fortunate to have her as my instructor for multiple classes, and I always leave feeling stronger in both body and mind. Looking forward to many more sessions with Tonya — she truly makes the YMCA feel like a place where we grow together.

Good gym for families and individuals with convenient location. Has good selection of free weights, machines, and cardio. Class offerings are diverse and comprehensive. The pool is well maintained and bright. There are only 2 squat racks which can be busy.

Lifeguards aren't focused on saving lives whatsoever -- completely distracted, almost let a kid drown, but sitting on the edge of the whirlpool deck is dAnGeRoUs

I absolutely love this Y. It’s so clean, the people are incredibly friendly, and it’s just a beautiful building. Highly recommend!
