Member Testimonials
So far I have used the Y only for swimming.
I appreciate that I have access to the facility.
Friendly staff, people who attend are also talkative and friendly. I love that it is cleaner and brighter than other YMCA's in CNY. I talk about it all the time and recommend my friends to sign up! Thank you YMCA!
Since I have retired I feel like the Northwest YMCA has been my place to go almost every day to keep my body strong trough classes and to socialize in book club. It is my cafe to meet up with friends after a workout. I hope to try an art class this year.
My only concern as of late is that the chair yoga class on Tuesday has had to turn away people. It is an amazing class and I get there early to line up but I feel bad that people are turned away.
The Egym & variety of classes offered
I love the incredible variety of programs, resources, and opportunities for all ages. The atmosphere is welcoming and the facilities are well maintained and clean.
Good classes, clean facility and always new events.
Availability of equipment
Clean environment. Warm, professional instructors
I like the equipment & the friendliness
Everyone is very friendly. When you walk in the door all the people on the front desk say Hi and how are you .
Aqua classes
Convenience. Seldomly crowded
Ease of getting times to work out
My family loves everything the Y has to offer, the only issue we have is that people are using the handicapped bathroom down near the pool as a family changing room, there has been quite a few times that my grandson has urgently needed to use the bathroom just to have it occupied for 20 minutes or more. Please put a sign stating that it is not a family changing room.
Every family member has what they need. Always something for everyone to do.
I have been going to the Manlius YMCA for a while and it has been a very positive experience. The staff are consistantly friendly and welcoming. The friendliness sets a warm welcome the moment you walk in.
Facilities are solid for the price: a great cardio room and many diverse classes during the week. I specifically enjoy the Yoga classes.
I'd recommend the Manlius YMCA if you value a friendly, community driven gym.

Programs
Love the water exercise classes, great workout!!
Instructors Denise and Dianne do a great job!
I love the E Gym!!! Everything else is top-notch as well, including friendly and helpful staff!
Have great water aerobic exercises and there is a lot of other things to do
I take many of the group exercise classes.
I like just about everything.
Things that I don't like,which I have mentioned before: 1. People not drying off in the pool or shower area before going to their lockers and getting everything WET.
2.Safety concern,on crowded pool days,shoes are left at the top of the stairs to the therapy pool and in walkways ,people could trip.
3. People leaving weights on machines, looks like someone is using the equipment, when no one is.
That's all for now. It's a great place. Great staff.
the people!! ..especially the PickleBall coaches and the receptionists at the desk are always very nice and helpful..
Multitude of services available for all types of folks.
Front desk staff is friendly and helpful
