Friendly staff
Helpful front desk folks
Variety of older adult programming
My grandson and I love the heated therapy pool
I personally wish that there were some older adult exercise programs in the afternoon. I am not an early riser.
The facility is clean and spacious. Equipment is easy to use.
I've been very impressed with the Baldwinsville YMCA. The facilities are always clean and fully operating. They post a schedule and stick to it. The front desk staff is competent and always very friendly. The pool is particularly well run. The lifeguards are alert and always working as they should. They manage the lanes well, and there always seems to be a place for me to get laps in when I visit. Love this YMCA.
That said, the East Area (Hal Welsh) YMCA is a polar opposite. The front desk staff lacks training. The locker rooms are typically not clean. The pool is very poorly managed. They are often late with posting their schedule and it is rarely accurate. They shut down lanes for private lessons with just a couple minutes of notice and boot the swimmers in the lane. The pace clock has been hidden behind the flags for months, making it completely unusable. The lifeguards seem to have a poor work ethic. Often times you First name removed see 3 or more of them sitting in the office, while 1 is on duty, and only 1 of the pools is open. Just seems like very poor staffing.
Love the location of the Y! Very convenient for me. Only negative is that the facility is looking 'worn', areas need painting and womens locker room faucets in sinks aren't working properly.

I like the water aerobics classes for adults.
Everything is clean at this facility
Friendly & knowledgeable staff from the front desk through training staff and maintenance! Very clean and bright. Modern. Many options and classes.
Everyone is friendly and helpful. Many activities to choose from.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. They also offer wide variety of exercise equipment. Truly love the new E-Gym program. With the E-Gym, you are guided through a full body workout and doing your form correctly. I highly recommend the facility.
The people, the cleanliness and all the Y has to offer.
I like the walking track,the lazy River,the friendly staff,the yoga classes and hope to take art classes soon.
It’s clean and everyone is helpful and friendly. Would like to see better pickleball nets.
Excellent pool area and plenty of family changing rooms
I enjoy going to the YMCA - there are a variety of classes offered. I enjoy the walking track and the EGym option which I participate in 2 times a week.
I brought my granddaughter to the pool she had so much fun. The lifeguards are so friendly and helpful.
I like they have a track area,
What’s not to love. The facility is great and the staff are too. My only complaint is sometimes during the winter pickleball seems to take up too many of the courts. I know pickleball can be a money maker but I have walked in at 14:00 and found 3/4 of the courts taken up by pickleball nets and 6 teenagers playing full court basketball on the remaining court.
