Missouri Valley Family YMCA

Negative experience: 20$ for a day pass

Fantastic experience: I travel all over for work and worked in Bismarck for years. This YMCA is the most versatile, cleanly and organized I’ve been to. It offers a WIDE variety of options from strength to cardio and plyos. Whatever Kara and her staff have done is remarkable. Feels like a new gym since I’ve been here. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a day pass or a membership. As good as it gets.

Negative experience: Cater to the wealthy. Thought the ymca is supposed to be affordable. Laughable.

Positive experience: Would really like to see an updated Sauna!

Fantastic experience: Very clean and plenty of activities for kids!

Negative experience: Terrible place if you want to just go there and shoot around in the basketball courts, never a day where all the gyms aren’t being occupied by people renting them out or little kid basketball practice, let people shoot around sometimes.

Negative experience: I can't believe in this day and age as a grown man I still have to suffer through men of all ages walking around the locker room and saunas where I have to be surrounded by naked men. Like wake up at 5 go to the gym and everyone just wants to walk around naked seems totally ridiculous to me. I didn't get out of bed to see ball sacks. Please there should be a dress code for the sauna and hot tub and maybe close the curtains on the showers it isn't a peep show. I mean statistically there's dudes in there who enjoy it but I am not in that group. Please fix

Fantastic experience: Great place to get some exercise. A lot of great options for classes. Really like the walking track. Only complaint is there are days when there are no towels available. But the facility is clean and the staff friendly so that's what matters.

Fantastic experience: The Y is a great place to workout and best of all meet up with friends. The atmosphere is always friendly.

Negative experience: One of the nicest YMCA’s I have been to as far as gym size and equipment goes. Very nice and newly remodeled, all of that was great… $18 extra to use the sauna however?? Complete BS. I travel for work and this is the first Y I have ever encountered with this rule. The main reason I have a membership with the most expensive gym out there is for the sauna… $50 a month and I gotta pay extra to hot box here you’re out of your gal dern minds

Positive experience: Overall good experience with the Y. The pool is sometimes closed due to staffing. However, check your bank account every month to make sure you’re not being overcharged. They will not refund you ☹️

Negative experience: They Don't keep schedule for the aquatic area.... pool slide to be open 1-450 sat. even though 3 life Gaurds are on duty slides still never opened ..saw 4 diffrent ones between 1--330 pm ... even being told that they would for sure be open at 3pm nothing ... and older man lifeguard very very rude not sure how he is still employed there. Honestly don't know how any of them are, considering the lack of doing there Job's like opening up slides when enough lifeguards are there. Or even a notice of slide closures would have been better then what they did.

Negative experience: This wasn’t my best experience for sure the staff was very rude especially the one with the tall hair and the head phones this is my first and last time at this dump.

Negative experience: Received a gift membership a month later they were asking me for my banking info and I had to leave the building I am done with these people and can only hope they refund money to person who purchased the membership

Negative experience: Awesome facilities and amazing child care when working out. Sadly the staff especially at front desk could use ALOT of work. Very rude and combative when errors happen on their end it only gets worst. Do better and treat ppl better.

Fantastic experience: Y

Negative experience: It's a good place but one Justin Matthew Emerson that works there said they are a God fearing person and then I see them on the internet disrespecting people of color belittling women called someone the N word with a hard R also telling people that God doesn't care about them I will not be coming back or bringing my kids here anymore with sick individuals like him

Fantastic experience: One of the nicer and bigger YMCA’s I’ve been to. Nice weight lifting facility, has a lap pool, racquetball courts and lots of basketball courts.

Negative experience: After purchasing a household membership it was disappointing to find the membership yielded no amenities for children ages 6 to 8.. I was told the only thing the kids could do was to walk around the facility supervised or swim in the inside pool whereby outside would consist of 28° weather.. I didn’t understand why would you purchase a membership for kids when there’s nothing there for them to do, then in order for them to do something there’s a plus charge..

Fantastic experience: My family very much enjoys the YMCA and all it has to offer. I have to rave about the Child Watch though that’s offered because without it I wouldn’t be able to get my workouts in. It was hard for this first time mama to drop her little one off but the ladies took her under their wings. Fast forward two years later my daughter actually asks to go to Child Watch to see her friends. All the ladies have been wonderful but I have to name drop Jessica and Mishay who my daughter especially adores and now my little guy is starting to, too! It takes a lot to trust others to watch your children and I’ve never felt more confident in those at the YMCA. Thank you!

Negative experience: Desde el inicio del verano comencé a ir con mi esposo y mi hija, preguntamos si mi hija podía estar mientras nosotros nos ejercitábamos en el momento de inscribirnos, nos dijeron que si mientras esté bajo supervisión de un adulto ella tiene 8 años y mientras yo entreno ella se sentaba en algún lugar con su tablet o cuadernos para no molestar en ningún momento, ayer fui ya que en la semana me falto un día de mi rutina y vino un hombre del personal y se quiso hacer el empleado del mes diciendo que no nos iba a sacar pero que ella no podía estar ahí, pasamos todo el verano yendo sin problema y sin molestar a nadie y viene ayer me dice eso, adicional que va a anotar un notificación en el sistema que ya nos advirtió y que la próxima el llamado de atención será diferente, me molesto muchísimo y mi hija se sintió mal ya que delante de ella dijo todo eso, 3 meses fuimos todos los días y nunca nos dijeron nada y viene este hombre a tratarnos así cuando mi esposo paga una mensualidad, muy grosero.

Fantastic experience: Love going to see my baby play basketball

Negative experience: On 03/19/23 at 1PM I went to try this gym, to see if I like it and get a subscription. I came with two friends who told me that I would like it and I would be satisfied. Their supervisor registered me, I paid the pass for a day of 30 dollars and passed. No one informed me that their closets are sometimes stolen, and let's not leave personal things, precious things in the closet. No one offered me anything, even to rent a lock for the wardrobe. They assured me that everything was safe and my things would be safe. When I left around 3 PM and went to the cafe with the girls, I found my wallet without money, all my money was stolen.I went back to clarify the situation and report the theft. The supervisor took my name, the amount that was stolen and my phone number, in case he finds out something, he will let me know. However, I made a report to the police to establish the negligence of the employers at this company. When the consumer comes to receive a service and pays for this service, it is assumed that this premises is safe, if the consumer or his belongings cannot be safe in the premises, he must be informed when paying for the service, here no one warned me that their lockers can be stolen and we shouldn't leave our personal things in the lockers, or if we have expensive personal things, they should give us a lock to lock the locker.When I told them that my money was stolen, and why I wasn't informed about this in advance so that I wouldn't leave my personal things in the locker, why didn't they give me a lock, supervisor said because this doesn't happen very often with them. Seriously? doesn't happen often, but does it still happen? I received no assurance that they will investigate the case, and not even a compensation from them for this unpleasant experience. Take care, and I hope no one else has such an experience.

Negative experience: This YMCA is a rip off compared to others around the nation!

Fantastic experience: Top notch facility. Nicest weight room I have seen in a very long time. Huge selection of equipment and clean.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I came here while traveling, and had a great experience. We got in for a $15 family day pass which in my experience is VERY affordable (It is $12 for a single adult, which is still reasonable). They also offer a weekly family pass for $40 ($35 for a single adult) if you are around longer than we were. They had all the equipment you could dream of, including what we wanted: a real power rack (they had a ladder rack too), and believe it or not, 3 platforms with Olympic bumper plates. Highly recommended for anyone who is into powerlifting/Olympic lifting.

Fantastic experience: The ymca has everything you need and then some for a good workout. Also they have an amazing child care program where they will watch your child while you work out.

Fantastic experience: Nice trees outside of the place

Fantastic experience: Great organization at work in the Bis/Man community to care for people! The leadership and employees are wonderful. I always love going there.

Negative experience: They are the worse they are upping membership and they can't even fix the simplest of items they bully people into signing their new bs contract for training ! If I could give 0 stars I would

Fantastic experience: I was member of this beautiful YMCA for a while in 2010. It was great experience, nice time.

Positive experience: Kinda feels like a dungeon and for some reason the girls are very scantily dressed....its a gym not a mating ground. No Rockwall like minot and they charge extra for the locker room with a sauna...minot doesn't do that..its good for a workout but leaves much to be desired

Positive experience: We usually get a winter membership so the kids can swim. There's a new pool addition, but my littles are going to outgrow it pretty soon (wish they had gone a bit larger with the slides). Most of the lifeguards were cool, but one would give us a hard time regularly. I'm all for yelling at my little monsters when they deserve it, but on two occasions we were being talked to for things that directly contradict what was on the rule board.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Nice upgraded equipment, green football field grass, and new flooring

Fantastic experience: Nice upgraded equipment, green football field grass, and new flooring

Fantastic experience: Awesome YMCA, I travel all over the US and this is one of the best YMCA's I've been to. Lots of selection of equipment, nice cardio equipment, and nice locker room. I would highly recommend visiting this YMCA.

Fantastic experience: Great facility with amazing staff members!

Fantastic experience: Love this Y! Fantastic locker rooms, modern equipment, and plenty of space for all your exercise needs

Fantastic experience: Has everything

Fantastic experience: Affordable prices and nice clean astaffelment place to work out at

Fantastic experience: Best Y! in the Midwest! I wish we can still visit this Y! unfortunately we already moved to Fresno.

Fantastic experience: A great place employees are very helpful and friendly.

Fantastic experience: It is the best GYM in ND.

Fantastic experience: Family friendly , fun, and a lot of different things you’re able to do there. Recommend especially if you’re bored and need some more fun in your life or if you wanna get to the gym and get your gains in

Fantastic experience: Great customer service by Cody! Cody gave me a tour of the facility and answered all of my questions/concerns. The YMCA is very clean, efficient and all the staff were friendly and so very helpful. Five-star-rating.

Fantastic experience: ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, UNDENIABLY, ABNORMALLY AND AMAZINGLY rare kind of service that unfortunately I will get nowhere else. Lovely place.

Positive experience: Very friendly, has everything I need, no complaints

Fantastic experience: Upea, monipuolinen liikuntapaikka. Mukavia ammattitaitoisia ohjaajia ja hyvää johtamista. Kaikille ikäryhmille mielen ja kehon liikutusta. Yhdistää eri ikäisiä, kokoisia ja erilaisia ihmisiä sekä yhteisöjä.

Positive experience: Great variety of classes, awesome instructors, and friendly staff. The building needs some updates and improvements/maintenance. Looks like they've done some, and slowly working on more. They've updated some cardio and weight equipment. The studio rooms need new equipment like hand weights and mats especially, as they are wore out and falling apart. The gym definitely needs new mats in the "stretching area" because they are discolored, badly wore, and falling apart. Other than that, it's a great facility.

Negative experience: This was the worst place we have ever taken our family of 6. We will never be back. Staff was rude in the pool area. They have no infant life vests,and don't allow you to use a brand new one you just bought for the occasion. Our kids are very active and love the slides and being free as they swim. Here they wouldn't allow my children to use the slide because they weren't tall enough. They are used to going down slides when the water is deeper what makes it so different here. They watched my kids very closely and yelled at them, and my husband. This was our first and last time at this facility. The 30 minutes we spend there was enough.

Fantastic experience: They allow National Guard soldiers to do their PT tests there and I think that's pretty great.

Fantastic experience: My family loves coming here, staff is friendly.

Fantastic experience: I workout here every day.

Fantastic experience: My favor place to work out.

Fantastic experience: By far the best in the Bismarck area.

Fantastic experience: Could have better hours for the slide in the pool

Fantastic experience: Love the family wellness center. Great staff, amazing child watch program and always clean. Just wish they offered towel service

Fantastic experience: Great place. Love the water slide.

Fantastic experience: I love going to the ymca. They don't judge you. If you want to swim and have a good time. They let you be you.

Fantastic experience: Great place to be and safe for my boys to be at as well. Just started the child watch and very happy that they have something for my 6 and 8 yr old, while I get some exercise in. I addition have also been able to introduce my 11 yr old to the gym. They also provide some family nights where my boys can bounce, climb walls and just run around and play. They always look forward to movie night!

Fantastic experience: It's a wonderful place to work out, bring the kids for fun activities and crossing my fingers my daughter gets the job she applied for, it will be a great place for her to be.

Fantastic experience: Good place for every family... you can go and workout while they babysit for you or go swimming with the family after workouts.

Positive experience: Best gym in the area in my book, plenty of equipment and has not been too crowded when i go during the day, i'm sure at nights if fills up pretty good with all the family activities they have there. I wish they had a dry sauna but they don't, there are steam rooms in the locker rooms though. (its nice being able to rent a locker and keep your stuff there as well)

Positive experience: Don’t get me wrong, I love the y and go here every day in the summer but if it had some sort of boxing area it would be perfect or at least a punching bag and speed bag

Positive experience: Love it

Fantastic experience: Perfect!

Fantastic experience: Keeps me sobor

Positive experience: Very inspiring. Coffee is excellent.

Fantastic experience: Great workout facility. Usually busy but big enough to where you shouldn't have to wait long to use any machine.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym h as s all the equipment I need

Fantastic experience: Boasting as the home of the city’s state capital, this Y follows right along as the best YMCA in the state. Staff and people are friendly and the facility is absolutely stellar. Equipment is right up to date for both cardio and weights and is a vast variety in great condition. Men’s locker room should be a model standard for every gym in the State.

Fantastic experience: Lots of things to do and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Largest gym in Bismarck. Nice, clean facility.

Fantastic experience: The price might be a tish too high but in my opinion it is well worth it I bring my kids there when I go work out and every time I bring them into their child services they know my name and they know my kids name without having to look at a computer they have bouncy houses in the gym floor every Tuesday and Thursday for your little ones to get wore out

Fantastic experience: So much to do. Friendly staff very family oriented.

Fantastic experience: Best place in town.

Fantastic experience: Best place to workout

Fantastic experience: Our kids go to daycare here, we couldn't be happier with the program, they do a fantastic job. It's pretty hard to get into, especially for a kid under 2, but once you are in, you understand why they are so popular.

Fantastic experience: Love that place. You find many activities for you and family all in one place

Fantastic experience: Great facility in Bismarck. Lots of ways to keep in shape.

Positive experience: Very nice facility. Friendly staff.

Positive experience: Reasonably good

Fantastic experience: Great family place

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: Always great time

Positive experience: They take pretty good care of you here.

Fantastic experience: Relaxing place to work out

Negative experience: The basketball refs for the little kids are a joke! They are frustrating and lazy!. When the kids are switching out, this is not your opportunity to dunk and shoot the basketball. Lame.

Fantastic experience: Great staff

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: Good activities

Positive experience: Memberships here are not cheap. The building is on the older side. Navigating through the building is difficult and sometimes feels like a maze. I do enjoy the large weight room and wide selection of fittness equipment. There is also a wide variety of other activities such as basketball, racquetball, and fitness classes. Overall if you can get over the price and can learn how to navigate this building, this is a great place to get a membership.

Fantastic experience: I love this place

Fantastic experience: Plenty of equipment to ensure you can get a good workout even when it's busy. Very clean facility. Polite and helpful staff. One of the best gyms I've been to.

Fantastic experience: GREAT Facility - Variety is endless

Fantastic experience: Lots to do! Clean and inviting environment

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Would love a bigger climbing wall!!!

Fantastic experience: With all the remodels at the Y...it's gone plaid! The child watch is probably the best part. I can get a stress free workout in knowing my kids are enjoying themselves

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Bismarck.

Fantastic experience: Great place
