The showers are gross and have no privacy. They have HOTEL CARPET for the locker room floor, absolutely disgusting. Total rip-off considering how expensive it is.

Scheduled a first-aid training through the Y. Notified them a couple weeks before that I had to go on emergency travel and asked if I could move my training to the next one on the calendar. They wouldnt reschedule me nor give back my $75. Not my definition of Christian.

Heavenly place where everybody is so friendly and professional. We love to go and spend some quality family time there. All staff is willing to get to know you and make you feel you are a part of a big,lovely family. Always Clean and safe. Your safety is always number one concern and that feels even greater when you have you kid with you. Since you know there are always extra pairs of eyes watching out your kids for their safety. Thank you guys!

This place is amazing! It has excellent child care, good gyms for sports, and a large, high quality workout center. It also has swimming pools!

I have been to YMCAs all over this country. Many of you may have read my White Bear Minnesota Y review, which was glowing. Possibly the best facility Ive ever seen. But facility isnt everything. Culture accounts for a lot, too. The Rapid City YMCA has, hands down, by far, the best culture and the most family oriented feel about it of any YMCA Ive ever been to. And I dont just mean mom dad and the kids family. I mean that everyone acts like they are members of the same family. Like a constant, perpetual reunion. A culture like this is hard to cultivate and keep up. The CEO and general manager of this facility have got to be the best, and I hope to shake their hands one day. Dont miss this YMCA. And by the way, the facility is excellent. Clean and state-of-the-art. You couldnt ask for more.

I have been a member now for over three months. I have found great staff, nice members, and a yummy café which is available for lunch without membership. The pool and sauna are my favorites, and I can highly recommend the water exercise classes. Also, I found out my membership is good in other locations and since I will be traveling soon, that is a plus. Thank you!

It is a good place with several equipment. The swimming pool is good without the young children that are going to train. They have 3 swimming pools and prefer to swim without many children. Two of the 3 are opened.During children swimming time is impossible to swim until 7:45 pm and the swimming pool closes at 8:30 pm. I like to swim one hour. Another con is that 3 or 1 people doing exercises occupied a huge area of the swimming pool. In my humble opinion, they need to open the third swimming pool that is closed and used sometimes

The swim program is amazing thanks to Francis. She is amazing with the kids and will even pull kids into classes that havnt signed up. So the kids that hang out after school now have something productive to do and are learning a life skill. It is just wonderful to have people that truly care about the kids.

My experience of Rapid Citys YMCA is negative for a variety of reasons. But the one that stood out was from their complete lack of sympathy and compassion towards travelers.Having been traveling the US in a van for several weeks with my friend, we looked to the YMCA as an important refuge for body and soul. A place to meet fellow Christians, rest and shower.At Rapid City however we were to be charged $40 for this 5 minute privilege. It didnt have to be like this, a limited use of their resources would have meant a great deal to us.

My husband though he got his watch stolen but it was in the lost and found. They seem to do a very good job at making sure unsecured items are put there for safe keeping. I find the facilities to be well kept and clean. I enjoy Jazzercise and was glad to find some good classes that are like that.

This is an awesome facility. They have a large amount of treadmills, bikes and the weight training area is huge. Their pools are great if you want to work out or bring the family. The staff has always been well informed and friendly.

I travel a lot and visit different gyms. I normally find a Y to workout at because of the one day price but i very disappointed that they want $20.00 for me to visit for an hour.

THE OTHER EVENING MY SON WAS IN THE SHOWER AND HIS LOCKER WAS UNLOCKED FOR 10 MINUTES WHILE HE SHOWERED. ANOTHER YOUNG MAN HAD HIS CAR KEY AND WALLET STOLEN WITH IN MINUTES OF MY SONS LOSS. THE MONEY THAT WAS STOLEN WAS ALL THE MONEY HE HAD. THE STAFF AND THE RAPID CITY COMMUNITY OFFICER DID AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT $3000 CAN BE STOLEN AND YMCA AND THE RAPID CITY POLICE COULDNT MAKE TIME TO TAKE A REPORT, SO THEY SENT A non CERTIFIED COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER TO TAKE A REPORT. I HIRED AN ATTORNEY TO FILE ON BOTH ENTITIES. THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE THEIR JOBS.

As a frequent visitor of the RC YMCA I have a lot to say about this place. I love how I feel at home here and everyone knows my name. The childwatch program is perfect for parents that want to be fit or have a minute to themselves in the Courtyard Cafe for lunch. Sharon and the volunteer in childwatch always treat my son so incredibly well. This is a great family place and they always welcome out-of-state members with their AWAY program. We always put our older son the the sports programs that they offer for school-age children. My only complaint is that their family pool isnt always open for swim, but I understand that staffing it can be expensive and sometimes there are classes going on so I cant really fault them for it. I can also say that the wellness center is in the basement and there are no windows and can be very crowded at times. But I still love it. We are moving soon, but I know the first thing I will do is join the YMCA there. I just hope it feels as much like home as this one did.

NOT THE PLACE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO POWERLIFT OR BOBY BUILD! Old guy that works down in the weight area has harassed my husband and his friend multiple times. Tonight he crossed the line by critizing my husband on his 500lb deadlift. Gyms are supposed to be a safe place for people to become healthier and stronger, not to be yelled at and criticized by the staff.

If you are trying to go for a PR and become the strongest version of yourself this gym is not for you! I was going for a 500 lb deadlift pr(on a deadlift platform) and after completing my goal a staff member confronted me by yelling halfway across the gym. He scrutinized me for dropping the weight even though my hands never let go of the bar. Making a scene throughout the gym and everyones attention on me. I tried telling him it was a 500lb pr and he told me that other people can handle that weight better then me. Ultimately this ruined my whole experience on a 500lb deadlift that I have been working toward for over a year.

We love our YMCA, if you cant afford a membership you can volunteer for I think an hour a week and get a free membership, I have really enjoyed the staff and the 2.5 hours of free childcare every day while you are working out is a life saver.

I get you need membership.. but I called to ask if I could bring my 101 year old grandmother to swim and exercise fir one hour.. was told it would be 35$ fir a day pass. I said no I only wonna come for and hour.. its sad I cant bring someone fir an hour. There is no place in town to take her just to get in the water. Really doesnt seem fair.

The staff is great and the fitness equipment is also great! But, if you want a hot shower after doing your fitness workout, don’t join the YMCA. If you enjoy cold showers, then it’s the fitness organization for you. If you enjoy a warm shower and halfway through it the water turns cold, then the YMCA is the place for you.
