Fitness & Gyms in Edina, MN

“Was supposed to run a 5K while in MN, but flooding spoiled that plan. Grabbed a last minute class at OTF Edina and turns out it was my 24th OTF studio in 2024. The front staff was really friendly and the studio was consistent with the OTF brand. Special note, Coach Jess was excellent. Everyone has their preferred coaching style, but she had a vibe. Her cadence, energy, clarity and attention were really good. 100% recommend.”

“This is a great gym for people that want a clean, simple place with all the equipment they could possibly need. Cardio machines, free weights, and full plyometrics are available as well as personal training. The owner Nick is super friendly and helpful. It's a great place to work out. Highly recommended.”

“This place is my second home. I have been involved in CrossFit for 7 years, and 4 of those years have been here. It is one big family. I have so much love and respect for my coaches and fellow athletes. I also took part in the Nutrition Planning with Nellie starting February 2023. She is an incredible coach; non judgemental, always there for advice when needed. The planning and meal prep/organization that I took from this coaching is at almost 1 year. I have seen tremendous gains (or losses :) I dropped a total of 23 pounds that are still off, and body fat went from 18% to 13.6%. I am more lean, and so happy with what I have learned and applied to my daily routine! So thankful for Nellie and this community!”

“Matt and Eric are exceptional trainers and I would recommend them to people of all skill levels. They do an excellent job at meeting you where you're at, as well as driving you to be your best self. Incredibly personable people who are just fun to be around.I've trained with many people in my life, what sets these guys apart from the field is their dedication and time they put into their craft. They have a large base of tools, as well as the experience to know how to apply those tools optimally. As with anything, you get what you put into it - if you put in the effort they ask of you, you will 100% get better and move towards your goals at a faster rate.”

“I found this place around a year ago through looking online at Ninja Warrior gyms around and knowing I was not able to that yet. BUT now that I am here I do not care to try to go to a Ninja Warrior Gym. This place is more practical and will eventually translate better to real life. All the coaches are amazing and friendly. I would have never thought I would be the type of person that would enjoy Parkour but after going signing up for the free intro lesson its been amazing and I've made progress in general beginner Parkour skills plus mobility and they even have beginner acro to start learning the basic stuff to eventually do flips. 10000000000 times recommend this place. Come check it out!”

“Starting my 2nd week here and loving it! Great coaches, great members, great environment. Crossfit Eden Prairie truly demonstrates crossfit is for every body, these coaches can help you to modify the workout to what is the best for you.”

“Really great HIIT workout with fun instructors! The workouts are very engaging and challenging, leaving you really tired and sweaty. They change the routines between sessions, and include a variety of workouts. Very clean facility with various amenities. The facility includes bathrooms, showers, lockers, towels, lotion, shampoo, body wash, and water fountain.”

“Got to SWEAT before sunrise ! Yoga sculpt at 6 am was challenging & way fun !! Toning with simple weights + yoga poses. SWEAT offers experienced instructors, variety of class options, & great energy / vibe for workout routine. Grab your headband & check it out !!! Follow Just The Headband ?

“Came here to try out a free class, and I'm glad I did! I tried out Alchemy once about 5 years ago, when I was very out of shape and just wanted to try something - I had a rough experience and wouldn't recommend this for true beginners in fitness. Now, I strength train about 6 days a week and mix in cardio - one of those 6 days is an Orangetheory class. Staff here was super nice and helpful getting me started! Between the front desk staff and the coach, they got me all set up for my class. It starts with a nice introduction around the room and some yoga. Loved the warm up except I really couldn't hear the instructor's cues which was very frustrating. The room is large and music loud, plus they really pack you in like sardines. Once we got to the actual workout, I enjoyed the AMRAP style so I could go at my own pace. Only downside was the workout I did was super repetitive so I did get a bit bored. At the end I came out strong, and super sweaty which I appreciate! I don't think I would cancel my Orangetheory for this, but I will definitely supplement it in for fun!”

“Edina, MN location is clean and machines and free weights are always available. Might need an upgrade on weightlifting machines and few camber barbells will be a really good update to this facility, especially for chest and back workouts.”

“Super nice people working (out) there! Liked the pool a lot. I agree that this facility is a little outdated but who cares. Works great for what I need from a gym:)”

“Transformational Care at Life Time Southdale – Dr. Oscar Nevermann is Irreplaceable!

Three years ago, I was in severe, life-altering pain with no hope of relief. I had tried physical therapy at Tria, consulted medical doctors, and even worked with a chiropractor, all of which failed to provide lasting improvement. Enter Dr. Oscar Nevermann at LifeTime Southdale – he didn’t just treat me; he changed my life. After only one month of working with him, I was completely pain-free and have remained so for three years.

Oscar’s approach is unlike anything I’ve experienced. His evaluation was more comprehensive and insightful than anything I had received elsewhere. He quickly identified the root causes of my pain – weakness in my left serratus anterior, posterior chain, and glutes, among others – and implemented an individualized plan that addressed these areas. Oscar didn’t just focus on exercises; he also taught me life-changing lessons in posture and movement: "squeeze the glutes, flex the abs, stand tall, and avoid letting your ribs flare." These simple yet profound adjustments transformed the way I move daily.

When I first started, I was terrified of using weightlifting equipment, fearing injury. Oscar’s expertise and encouragement not only made me comfortable but confident. His knowledge is unparalleled, and his ability to adapt exercises based on flexibility, pain, or fatigue is remarkable. He also excels at hands-on techniques, from massage to improving flexibility through manipulation, making him a true master of his craft.

Oscar’s impact extends beyond physical improvements. Before working with him, I couldn’t take a plane ride or sleep in a hotel bed without excruciating pain. I struggled to be present with my family due to irritability and emotional exhaustion from chronic pain. Thanks to Oscar, I was not only able to coach my son’s robotics team but also judge my daughter’s debate events – things that would have been impossible before. During trips, I went from lagging behind my family to leading them, with more energy than I ever imagined.

Oscar’s personal training clients range from professional athletes (including professional sports players and their families) to medical professionals and individuals like me – a dentist, PhD, and biomedical engineer. Despite our knowledge as professionals, Oscar brings it to the next level. Everyone who works with Oscar shares the same sentiment: they don’t want to give him up. His knowledge, skill, positivity, and ability to connect with people make him an invaluable asset to LifeTime Southdale’s community.

LifeTime Southdale prides itself on being a premier, country-club-like fitness center with a focus on exceptional customer service and a luxurious atmosphere. Oscar embodies this mission perfectly. His presence not only enhances the experience for his clients but also elevates the brand’s reputation as a facility that attracts and retains top-tier talent. LifeTime Southdale is fortunate to have someone like Oscar, and his continued presence is a tremendous benefit to its members and the community.

Dr. Oscar Nevermann is more than a trainer or therapist – he’s a life-changer. I am forever grateful for his care and expertise. If you’re fortunate enough to work with him, consider yourself lucky.”
