I love WERQ class on Saturday morning. Why did time change to 9:15 to 10?
My experience with the Y started after my diagnosis of breast cancer. The Lories Hope program has been a wonderful support. That group has lead me to many many programs that have been wonderful.. from trainers for the weight "room" to water classes to understanding everything that the Y offeres. The variety of programs and support systems that are offered is amazing and so helpful.
The staff is so kind, helpful, and hard-working. I mainly go for use of the pool and it never feels overcrowded, unlike the pools in other local branches. The facilities are kept clean and safe, and they offer wonderful programs members for the community. I also greatly enjoy the security and restricted access being a SYAC member offers. It gives me a place to get away and relax during or after a workout that's separate from where the kids and younger members go. In my opinion, the Downtown Y is the best facility in the greater Syracuse area.

Great, raw gym. Not as refined as many Y gyms but has so much more character. Love this place.
Great programming. Educational and fun. My daughter learned independence, social skills, and values (loved the character beads).
wide range of activities available
We just moved to Cicero last month.  The North Area Family Y has been great so far!  Front desk staff are welcoming and friendly.  Child watch staff are attentive and caring with my boys. 
Amanda on the pool deck has been knowledgeable and helpful and the boys are thriving in their swim lessons with Ms. Kelly!  
Thank you!
