I finally got up the courage to try this place after so many good things about it. My first class experience on Thursday morning was great. The instructors were very nice and made sure I was comfortable with the exercises we would be doing (like pull-ups). It was exhilarating to dive into something tough like pull ups and feel like I was making progress. The class I took on Saturday morning was overly crowded. They did not have enough equipment for everyone who signed up and people had to share and pack in like sardines. I didn't mind because it was my free week, but I wouldn't like this if I was getting charged a membership fee. It was still a good, challenging workout though! More...

I have been going to Alchemy, mostly at this location but occasionally the Northeast location, for a few months. I think the concept is really good. My background is yoga and running, so I was new to a lot of the movements, which I understand are from Crossfit. I think a background in yoga really helps to understand the A10/A20 yoga section, and certainly as far as form, the yoga part is the one that suffers most if you have people who haven't done it before. That wasn't an issue for me, but I think it could be if you'd never taken yoga before. I have tried Pure Barre and reformer Pilates classes previously, but I will say that for the money (a specialized workout place with a monthly membership that's more expensive than a regular gym) this is the best one I've been to. Plus, unlike a lot of the other things I have done, you don't have to pre-register online and plan ahead. Sometimes there are a ton of people in a class, but most of the time I haven't felt overly crowded. I have learned a lot and really improved in confidence and form over the months. I think the instructors do a good job of showing the main movements and modifications. They obviously really enjoy working with each other and know a lot of people by name. What I love the most is that this is a workout that can really push you to the limit. You can definitely modify and do your thing and take breaks, but I do think it isn't designed for doing the bare minimum. If you want that, this is probably not for you... Other than serious distance running I've never found anything that I could do and challenge myself in the same way to the point where I have wondered if I could keep going. That's what I'm looking for. If you aren't looking for that intensity, it might not be your thing. There are certainly some "aspirational" looking people at Alchemy, but I don't think it matters. And honestly, some of the more intimidating, super fit people end up being the most encouraging and wonderful to the people around them. I have seen people of all shapes and sizes, and people of all fitness levels. Overall, I'm super happy to get there every time, and super happy to be done for the day, hahaha. More...

Just finished up my 3rd class at Alchemy 365 & I couldn't be more happy Katie introduced me to this gym! I now understand why it's Alchemy 365 because you'll want to go every day! Really though it's a lot more than just a gym.. you walk in to a super welcoming environment, greeted by smiling faces (even at 5:30am) Lockers are provided to store your things during your workout & super clean & modern restrooms & showers are also available. The class is lead by a knowledgeable & positive instructor. Great upbeat music.. I mean really, what more can you askIf you're hesitant to go because you haven't worked out for a long time or are nervous about new places, don't be. I hadn't worked out for months & I was scared to try something new. There's no judgement & you can go at your own pace!**PRO TIP** sign up for your free week and see for yourself! More...

I've been going regularly to this location for almost a year - and I wish I had been going longer. I am stronger and more flexible than I've ever been and genuinely enjoy going to the gym and truly miss it if I have to miss a few days for a trip or if I'm sick. The atmosphere is welcoming to all abilities, and the instructors are friendly and willing to listen to any questions you have. The only caveat I have is, sometimes the classes can get very packed and it's really up to you to watch your form More...

The mix of mobility/yoga with strength training/conditioning has been absolutely perfect for me. My knee issues are almost gone, I'm the strongest I've ever been in my life, and I genuinely have a great time whenever I go in to the studio. I've been a member for 9 months now and I can't recommend it highly enough. More...

I am a latecomer to the Alchemy experience, and just started the Fresh Start Challenge. I am so impressed with the team of friendly and professional coaches who are encouraging and incredibly knowledgeable. At 65 years old, I was the queen of making excuses! I have arthritis and can’t squat and lunge like I used to... not a problem! Modify- or as each class has started with “there are options”... I’m happy to get through any workout feeling like a hero in my own life. It’s a phenomenal program, and 30 days grain free, sugar free, dairy free and even wine free has me feeling detoxified and leaner- never mind the scale. More...

A friend let me know they had free classes for first timers and thought I'd give it a try. I was a bit concerned because I don't normally do these type of classes. To begin, the atmosphere was welcoming and easy going. Julia, the instructor, did a great job of accommodating newcomers. We started off with yoga and initial warm ups that introduced us to the high intensity crossfit style workout to come. The workouts themselves were incredibly rewarding, aka exhausting. Through, the process, the instructor corrected form and guided us to maximize our output. The class ended with light yoga to cool down. The locker rooms and bathrooms were clean. Highly recommend giving it a shot! More...

I'm almost hesitant to write a 5-star review, as I don't want people to find this place, haha! I discovered this place via a Groupon after my kickboxing studio closed down - I wanted something high intensity training (HIT). I LOVE this place - it's 20 minutes of warm up, fast paced yoga, 20-minutes of HIT (or 10 minutes, depending on what class you pick), and almost has a cross-fit community vibe. The instructors are amazing and the tempo is unbeat. They are a really welcoming community and I love this new gym. More...

Warning: Alchemy is incredibly welcoming to all fitness levels. I completely disagree with the review below that speaks negatively about the place. I cannot speak highly enough about this gym. The workouts are designed so everyone can modify to there own level and FEEL SUCCESSFUL! If you new to weights you can use #10 and if your seasoned you can go much heavier. And the coaches will always guide/correct/help you with new movements. The classes are fast paced and push you to that next level. Alchemy is continually helping me reach fitness goals I never thought possible. OH and it's FUN! Great music, happy staff and incredibly clean. More...

I walked in for the morning class but was just a little to late to go in. I was disappointed but the desk staff was nice enough that I decided to give it another try and I'm glad I did! I think of it as yoga meets crossfit but even more fun! JT was the instructor and made me feel welcome as did everyone else in the class. The work out was just 30 minutes but it was perfect for me as I'm just getting started again on my workout routine. Facility was clean and towels were complimentary. I look forward to seeing them expand! More...

Alchemy is a boutique gym conveniently located at 67th and York in Edina. The space is clean and bright, parking is right outside the door, and the entire staff is incredibly welcoming. The have lots of lockers for your stuff and a few showers so you can prep for your day after getting sweaty (and you will definitely sweat here!). They have a variety of classes at all hours of the day, which are a mix of power yoga and cross fit type exercises. Everything is scalable to any fitness level. You don't need to reserve classes in advance which is a huge bonus and rare to see in boutique gyms. I definitely recommend checking this place out! More...

I've bounced around to several different fitness clubs and gyms over the past several years. I was excited to try Alchemy because it is so close to my job. I went to my first class, I think it was A10, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm out of shape and the workouts are not easy but the instructors do an awesome job of helping with modifications and helpful tips throughout the class. My squats suck but Katy is determined to help me fix them if we're doing squats in one of her classes. I was sick for about two weeks and unable to come to class- when I finally returned, one of the women at the check-in desk asked me how I was doing because she noticed I hadn't been there for a while. Alchemy offers a great sense of community and just overall friendliness. There are only a few different styles of class to choose from (A10, A20, APulse, & AFlow) but the workout is different every day and you can go to all 4 classes in a day if you wanted to. Alchemy has such a cool vibe not only in the space but with the people. I have really enjoyed attending classes here and having Passionflower there for pre- or post-workout sustenance is awesome!

Perfect workout for any fitness level. I had to take some time off of working out after having a baby but was looking forward to getting in shape. Alchemy combines yoga with a crossfit workout. I love the A10 40 minutes. As a new mom Im in a hurry all the time, so this allows me to get in, sweat it out, and get out. Every workout can be scaled to each individuals fitness level. The staff makes you feel incredibly welcome and there is a high sense of teamwork at each workout. You can look at the workouts the night before online if you aren't sure about going or not. I like to go and be surprised! More...

Alchemy is awesome! No matter what class you go to, you're getting an effective workout. In my opinion it's the best option for former athletes. I haven't been this sore from a workout since my high school days, they really work you well. Maybe the best part of it all is the sense of community. I've done my fair share of gyms/group fitness and I'm normally fine not chatting whatsoever, but at Alchemy I genuinely enjoy talking to the coaches or others at the classes. Everyone is super welcoming and really cares about making you comfortable & successful. Definitely try it out and let them know you're new, everyone will be sure to help you out so there's no questions before your first time. More...

I want to update my review because I've been going here for over a year now. I started Alchemy because it was the closest gym to my apartment, but I absolutely love the place. There is a designated workout every day so you don't have to worry about planning your gym session. The coaches are great and explain all the movements before the class is started. Everything is scalable and all fitness level are welcome. Every workout is so different that even after coming here 4-5 days a week for a whole year I've never seen a repeat class or have become bored. I've pushed myself harder and I've made more improvements with my fitness level than I would have at a regular gym. You always get your first week free so don't hesitate to try it out. More...

The ultimate millennial workout: yoga + circuit training in under an hour Atmosphere: the studio has a chic, industrial vibe. Exposed brick walls and cool tones. Very hipster.Facilities: nice clean bathrooms with showers and changing rooms. Just right- not luxurious, but has everything you need. Bathrooms have hair ties for girls which is a nice touch. Showers are stocked with hair care and body wash. Class: effective, compact workout. Fast paced yoga warmup, 10 or 20 Minutes of intense circuit training, yoga cool down. Fun and motivating with a big class. Young crowd- mostly 20 somethings More...
