Wellness Center & Free Weight Room
The Wellness Center and Free Weight Room are located on the lower level of the Y. The Wellness Center features a variety of equipment, generously spaced for cardiovascular workouts and strength conditioning. Our Free Weight Room provides a safe place for strength training with a variety of weights, benches and equipment.
Blue & Red Gyms
There are two gyms located in the Mankato Family YMCA: the Blue Gym and the Red Gym. The Red Gym is located on the east side of the building. The Blue Gym is located on the west side and includes a small rock-climbing wall and is surrounded by the walking track above. Both gyms are open for members to use, but many Y programs also use the space. It is important to view the Gym Schedule before visiting the Y.
Y-Fit Gym
The Y-Fit Gym is located at the end of the Racquetball Court hallway. Members can drop in for the “workout of the day” and train like athletes. This cross training room includes a rig with a barbell rack, pull-up bars with assistance bands, gym rings, TRX suspension trainers, wall balls, plyo boxes, kettlebells, jump ropes, a rowing machine, battle ropes and plenty of open space for body weight exercises.

There is also a hot tub and on deck sauna available. Certified and trained lifeguards are stationed at each section of the pools at all times.
