Member Testimonials
Not too crowded
Classes, sense of community.
The Y at Hal Welsh is such a positive place , not only to work out, but to socialise at and make new friends. I love how the Y gives back to the Central New York community through supporting much needed services: I had the opportunity to volunteer with other members and YMCA staff to give back to other nonprofits, such as, The Salvation Army, and Clear Path for Veterans. There is a great camp program at Camp Evergreen, art for kids at Hal Welsh; Active Older Adult programs, and much, much more. I found my home at Hal Welsh after coming off of Active Duty in the military- where I found joy in volunteering and giving back.
Only problem is no track, excellent otherwise.
Everything,
Loved our first parent child swim class. Had a blast.
Don’t like that is was difficult to find an opening. I had been trying off and on for 6 months.
I like the Water Aerobics and find the instructors great!
Very friendly encounter as soon as you walk in and seamless process booking and getting on the court
to play tennis.
I mostly play Pickleball at the Y and I’m so glad there isn’t an extra charge for this.
the various class options, treadmills always available and free swim in the pool.
