Great place, clean and best steam room around.
many courts and bikes
Friendliness and helpfulness of staff .
Cleanliness of faculty..
This is the first time in my life I have found a place where I want to go to exercise. The staff is so friendly-from the moment you walk in the door. I especially enjoy the classes and my personal trainer Cathy who has helped me gain a new appreciation of exercise and health. And Pickle ball classes even have me playing a sport!
The chair yoga, flex and balance and active movers are my favorite group classes. I’m pleased to hear that the yoga classes will be added to the on demand classes on the website and would love to see Deb Reinhardt’s Active Movers class included. Although it may not be able to be recorded in the large room perhaps a version of it could be recorded periodically in the Yoga room. I could see doing that session at home on days I can’t make it to the Y.
Thank you to everyone!!!
The amount of equipment available
Friendly. It’s clean. Love the track. Excerpts room.
The people at the desk are super friendly and capable. The facilities are so clean, and the women I've met who clean are friendly and hardworking. The pool is great, though a little on the cold side for me, but it's clean and the hours for lap swimming are perfect, and the therapy pool is open for convenience for us, as well.
I like the programs offered, I like the pools, I like how friendly and helpful the staff is.
Lap swimming hours are plentiful. The staff is friendly & helpful. The facility is very clean for the number of people who use the Y.
I like everything. But sometimes I wanted to take my girlfriend to YMCA (just once) and show her how wonderful to visit YMCA but administration doesn’t allow to do this. I think that this is mistake.
People are friendly there is something for everyone there regardless of your age and it’s kept up well
I work in the Aquatics!! This is such a beautiful place emotionally and physically! I so cherish my job here!
The track is in great shape and the fitness room has space, even on busy days.
Suggeation: we have been trying to get into an adult pickleball league, but the pre-requisite class is difficult to attention and even get into. Is there a chance to have a 101 class at the Northwest Y instead of Manlius?
Everyone is friendly and nice there and willing to help you
Love the lazy river!!
Great staff and facility
Very clean
Great place, but we need later hours
It’s a great facility providing all the fitness options and equipment.
It has everything you could possibly need.
Everyone was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. I loved the water aerobics and the coach/instructor was very encouraging.
Everything is always so clean and nice Staff is always pleasant.
I use the track and bicycle’s. There are so many options for exercise.
Great place
As i have said before it is a very clean facility is a positive. I can't comment on youth accommodations b/c it doesn't apply to me as a older single member. However, in the 4 months i have used the YMCA it seems like there is something for everybody and their needs.
I love the helpfulness of employees and the wide variety of things to do! Being a part of the Livestrong and Laurie's Hope programs is greatly helping me in my cancer recovery and I am so grateful for those programs!
Everything. You're clean, have tons of equipment, have plenty of different courts and sports for the entire family, and attract mostly folks that are serious about maintaining their health. It's big, the aquatic area is huge, and you have sauna and steam rooms. The only think missing is a big hot tub. We also love the lazy river for our grandkids. The place is just awesome!!!
The facility is always very clean and up to date. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The reason why I didn't rate a 10? I have seen toddlers crawling on the track, different ones, more than once, and very young children running around without anyone watching them. I am in my mid/upper 70's and I am very concerned for their safety, as well as my own; I don't do well when startled. I never see staff up there, and if there are cameras, I suggest there is not consistent monitoring. Thank you.
The variety of exercise machines
I love the variety of classes for seniors.
No matter the time of day when I visit, the staff greet me with a smile and a kind word.
In the rare moments when I need assistance, the staff are quick to address any issues.
The facilities are kept in great shape, this is the best branch around!

The Y is for everyone. I like the diversity at the Y. I like the fitness classes, the tri-training, the pools, volleyball, tons of machines to work on. You can find something for everyone at the Y.
