Lots and f space and equipment and classes for all.
Love Dan Golden's forever fit class. Great group of people. Dan makes it fun which is the only way I can exercise!
All of the fitness choices that we have, pool, different fitness classes, many different workout equipment. Staff ready to help with questions and/ or assistance. So much more than I haven’t experienced yet!
Easy to get in and out. Lots of workout options, and programs. It’s wonderful.
I like everything about it. I would have liked to see a more prominent notification that the cardio room is scheduled to be shut down for ten days. Something more than a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper taped to the room entrance. Also an explanation of what the upgraded room will entail.
Love the pool!
I love the lazy River water classes with Denise. She is an excellent instructor and motivator. The class is limited to 30, however, no restriction is in place for additional participants. What’s the point of getting there early, getting a straw, and not restricting latecomers from entering. 30 people is max or someone is going to get hurt.
It would be wonderful if you offered 2 levels for this class, a low impact class and high impact class. Those of us who want a cardio workout are held back because it’s impossible to run when the class is over crowded and participants are walking side by side talking. It’s an accident waiting to happen. I wish you would add another River class with Denise on Thursday or Friday morning. That would be great.
Group fitness classes
Walking the track
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.
Convenience to Manlius.
Good people. Enough to do
Everyone in the class I joined was friendly and open to my joining. The instructor as well as all the participants.

The staff and all there is to do
Friendly atmosphere
I like that it's never too crowded and the music from speakers is not loud or obnoxious.
Place is a gem. They don’t make places like this anymore. I wish more people would see the value in the community that the Downtown Y offers to its members. Thank you for providing a place that makes everyone feel welcome and accepted and part of a community.
The sheer variety of what the facility has to offer---hands down the most expansive workout facility I've ever had a membership to!

Has everything I need......except I really miss having the pool!!
