Member Testimonials
People and the vibe
I like that I have so many choices of activities that encourage me to be more active: swimming, walking the track, fitness classes and exercise machines.
Also there are opportunities as a retiree to learn new skills and socialize.
The staff is very helpful and friendly. They have a nice updated gym with enough machines so there aren't long wait times.
It’s closer to where I live.
I love the YMCA. But it’s expensive. My Husband and I are on a fixed income and our membership is a sacrifice for us.
Loved the lazy rive! Got a great workout there!
Not busy…….easy access….:front desk staff helpful
The pool and the whirlpool. And the staff, who are welcoming and helpful.
Monika is an excellent trainer. I love the location. The Manlius Y has a more gym vibe which I really like. The addition of new egym machines and moving the cardio equipment near the turf is great. I hope they continue to update the facility and add new equipment.
All the water pools plus steam room , the life guards are excellent. Gotta try other things out and very busy place . Front desk staff very nice has well . Lobby looks very busy but homey.
Thank you all for a pleasant time . I’m enjoying my time there .
Good equipment, very clean, great staff.

The Gentle Yoga class was good, effective.
Any plans to get a sauna for women?
Thanks.
I like the variety of classes for Active Older Adults, the water aerobics classes, the comraderie among participants and the friendliness and expertise of the instructors.
The classes, the staff, the cleaningness of the gym and equipment are well taking care of.
I like the friendly staff and volunteers. The variety of classes. The communication on upcoming events has been great on email.
Love the pickleball options.
The YMCA on Wetzel Rd, Liverpool is too small. They need turf area for soccer/football & a walk area for people.
Parking is easy. The lounge is comfortable and spacious, which facilitates socialization. The main floor was plenty of cardio machines and has a good combination of weighted machine stations as well as free weights and barbell stations. The new computer controlled weight circuit is popular and provide data on improvement. They have a large cylcing studio and an elevated track for wrm ups and cool downs. Pickleball and basketball courts are often busy. The staff is reponsive when notified of padding breakdown on the machines.
For me, the aquatic center is worth the price of admission. The lap pool usually has 4 lanes open and kept at a good temperature. The large therapy pool is kept around 90F and doubles as a jacuzzi. They also have a dry sauna and steam room. The pool is well run and I witnessed one of the lifegaurds in action when an elderly man loose his balance in the therapy pool and was at risk for falling under the water in his panic.
I was previosuly a member of the Downtown Y, but it's worth the longer dirve for me to utilize this beautiful facility.
It is convenient to where I live and has a Forever Fir program I attend.
Therapy pool, but it is hard to get into a class. E gym though someone should be supervising the room as there are people not following the rules and people who need help.
Love that I can sign my kids up for activities and participate in activities to improve my health at the same time. The Y is an asset to our community and our family. We love all of our BASCOL staff and are so thankful for their care of our kiddos.

Love the camp, aftercare, and school vacation day programs. Without these programs it would be impossible to keep working full time. We’ve also taken advantage of the date nights. The staff is so friendly!
I love the EGym and am hoping they put another circuit in because it has been very busy. I also love the Espresso bike.

They have many ways to strengthen the body and the mind. Plenty of weight training, cardio fitness, a track, numerous classes, and indoor sports. They also have numerous ways to workout the mind. Art classes, ceramics, music classes etc. You also cannot forget the pool and all the activities it provides towards fitness and fun for all ages.
It's an all around great training facility and not just a gym.
