I go to the Wetzel road Y. Much smaller but closer to my home in NO Syracuse. I visited your Y with a friend of mine- Her husband goes to clear path on Wednesday's. We will be coming to your place most Wednesday's.
Beautiful place.
The stools in the locker room are not great for older people changing clothes from swimming-- or changing boots to shoes. Should be a few areas with a bench but room was clean.
Ty for the great experience .
Our next visit is in Bville in February
The Y staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Several things that could be fixed would be a little better heavy cleaning and better upkeep on the hand sanitizer being replaced. Also, please get the second stairclimber fixed ASAP! We are down to one and they are heavily used. Thanks. Jen Last name removed
Excellent location filled with wonderful staff and programs!
Equipment upkeep and cleaning
Front desk is great.
However repairs in the cardio room are leave much to be desired.
Annual fees go up every year but the star of the equipment remains stagnant.
Some equipment has had notes on them for well over a year maybe 2.
I understand this is likely no the fault of the branch itself but a system problem so I am leaving this comment with the unlikely hope that something will be done about this.
Thanks
Kind and competent staff with nice environment and customers.
The type and availability of group classes.
I LOVE the North Area Y. My only issue is with the cleanliness of the women's locker room and shower area. It is always FREEZING in those two areas.
It's is a place where you feel welcomed and empowers you to be your best. The location is clean and well managed.
The amount of working amenities are amazing, it awesome amount of things to do, and great courteous staff.
Too small for me. Nice if you live close by, but otherwise its a pass for me.
I love the option of running indoors on the track. The Wednesday morning Running Group with Kelle is wonderful. Kelle is an excellent coach and the camaraderie of the runners makes the workouts fun!
The front desk staff was cordial, helpful and welcoming. The instructor for my pickleball class was patient and skilled.
Vary nice clean and friendly place.
It has a wide variety of offerings for it's members.
I am 75 years old. I attend 2 Forever Fit classes at Northwest and 2 Forever Fit classes at North. Today I had my annual physical and got great news on my test results. My BP is great, A1C is under control (w/o medication) and my cholesterol is good (with medication) I believe those results are directly related to being consistent in attending four classes a week.
I like the family feel about the Y.The different type of people young and old.
Very inclusive and accepting community. All staff is very nice and accommodating. There are many different activities and programs to do.
the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly
Instructors - Jacklyn and Terri - excellent and very nice.
I enjoy Art d'jour, the track at NW and recently took a class with Brian at N which was very good for stretchingg and balance.
I really enjoy working out and playing pickleball at this YMCA. People are very nice and there is flexibility when coming to play. The classes I take with Cynthia are outstanding. She changes the exercises up and the music is really good to exercise too.
I like the variety of equipment available., exercise classes and walking track.
Everything!
I like the track. I shld be training for a Half Marathon (but Im not motivated because of the weather outside). So doing 3 miles upstairs out of the weather is very helpful. Then I play pickle ball for 2 hours and after that I stretch in the therapy pool. Going into the therapy pool and doing my own Aqua Yoga class is awesome. I spend hours at that Y! Its my job to stay healthy and NW YMCA is the place where I can do that. I love it there!
Lots of activities and classes and PICKLE BALL
I really enjoy the group classes. There are varied levels of intensity offered and instructors even suggest modifications within each session.
The staff is your greatest asset. They are welcoming and engaging and epitomize what the Y is all about. They make your visits there really enjoyable.
The facilities are always clean and well maintained.
This place is my constant. I love our Y! Good vibes, great people!

The Manlius YMCA is a great facility! The staff is wonderful! They are very helpful and friendly. There are so many activities available at the YMCA. It seems the membership numbers have increased since the parking lot and classes are full.
