Best Gyms with Saunas near Mankato, Minnesota

Rafael is great at what he does. He does an excellent job of asking what I would like him to focus on before starting each session. He is very intuitive in using just the right amount of pressure during deep tissue massage. The desk staff are fantastic and always greet me with a friendly smile.

Menari was able to squeeze my partner and I in for a sauna and soak last minute. It has been a very stressful time in both of our lives so we needed a shock to the system and try something new. This is exactly what we needed. They were flexible, comforting, and educational. We will be back!

I’m always hesitant to try a new massage therapist but I lucked out with Olivia! She was amazing! I requested a deep tissue massage to treat chronic issues and some new areas stemming from prolonged travel. In addition to regular massage, Olivia used multiple techniques (hot stones, vibrations, and stretching) to effectively loosen up the muscles and tissue. I was also appreciative that she was able to apply firm pressure without causing pain - which is tough to do. I will definitely be back! Thank you for a great experience!

I see Raphael at this location, and he does an amazing job. When looking for a massage therapist to fit your needs, don't be afraid to let them know what you would like. Communication is important, and it makes the massage experience so much better. Also, every good massage therapist wants to give you the best session possible and it's perfectly fine to communicate that during the massage, whether you'd like more or less pressure, if the table is too cold or too warm, or if an area needs more or less work. Menari is very clean, peaceful, and relaxing, and my massage therapist always listens to what I'm looking for before we begin our massage therapy session. The staff is friendly and helpful. With any massage, when you call, consult with the receptionist, and they will adapt your needs to the perfect therapist. Whether you are looking for deep tissue, sports, Swedish, relaxation, etc...

My first time here and I will be back. From the moment you enter they set the mood. Relaxing atmosphere with water or hot tea ready for you on arrival. I had a 90 min Lomilomi with hot rocks and it was great. Olivia worked with me to find problem areas and dialed in the right pressure to make sure I had the best experience. I recommend Menari!

Hands down the best gym in the area ! I’ve been there just over 6 months and signed up for another year. I feel so much better physically and mentally and the staff is the best around ! Thank you JP!

I have been working out at JP Fitness for the last 6 months. I love how the staff always is quick to greet me by name, and encourage me to go the next level in my fitness journey. They are great at making my 1:1 workout schedule work around my life. They are also very personable and are a great resource re all things fitness and strength. The spaces and machines are extremely well maintained and always clean. (I love that they have a sauna on site as well) HIGHLY recommend this gym!!

I have been a member of JP fitness for the past 2+ years as a group class participant and independently in the gym. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences! From the cleanliness of the facility to the knowledgeable, friendly staff, and options for everyone from novice to experienced gym goers, this is the best place to be! They are great at hosting fun challenges and events that keep members involved. Not only has my fitness journey drastically improved by going to JP fitness, but I’ve made lifelong friends. I recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Best gym experience I’ve ever had! My membership included a personal trainer and full studio access- highly recommend both! It’s always clean, the staff is amazing, good variety of equipment, and I’ve never not felt welcomed. My personal trainers, Mimi and Grace, both have helped me so much with my fitness journey and I’ve seen so much more growth then when I was working out on my own. This gym is definitely worth the investment!

The culture at JP Fitness is unmatched! The staff truly wants you to succeed and gives you the resources to do so. Gyms usually get the rep that they are scary and super intimidating, but JP is the complete opposite. People from all different fitness levels and backgrounds go here, it’s the most welcoming gym I’ve been to! Seeing first hand from going their since 2022 this gym changing peoples lives and restoring their confidence is pretty remarkable! You can see their clients putting in the work & the results speak for themselves.Finding a gym that feels so welcoming and more like a family while also being results driven is very rare to find. Also, it being 24/7 is a plus so you’re able to workout any time/day without it being closed on holidays like other gyms. If you’ve been on the fence about starting your fitness journey, just try out a complementary session or group class. If you don’t like it there’s no pressure to sign up. The group classes are a nice way to get out your comfort zone and push yourself, but they also offer many modifications in class for any limitations or fitness level. The personal training sessions is a great way to get something more structured to your goals and starting point while also having that 1:1 access and accountability! You have nothing to lose and all to gain from just trying it out! I can’t recommend this place enough!
