Yoga
I love the yoga classes! The yoga studio is the perfect size to see and interact with the instructor as well as other “yogi's”
Nice facility / great staff/
The person working at the Y are always friendly and courteous. You know like the rest of us they have bad days in their personal lives, but they never let it show at work. Also the cleanliness of everything.
I am SO not a gym rat. Tried the overcrowded, judgy, Fayetteville Y last year and stopped going after a dozen trips.
The Manlius Y has proven to be so superior both in terms of amount of folks and comradery (Yeah, I still detest exercise).
I have been working with Elana in a personal training capacity, and she couldn't be more positive and encouraging to this sloth who apparently needs to have constant accountability.
Good facilities which are well managed, lots of exercise options, great people (staff, coaches) and a welcoming environment.
Variety of programs and group sports for all ages
i love ELena's class on MWF
Great facility with tennis courts and varioys programs
It’s a smaller, quieter experience. Lots of choices for classes.
I’ve been attending the strength class with Eliana. It is an excellent class - she is upbeat, encouraging, helpful and friendly.
. Also, the front desk staff is friendly and helpful.
The tennis courts have great lighting. There are a few dead spots on the courts. (The courts would have to be resurfaced
The desk staff was friendly.
The convenience of the location as it is close to home
Staff are friendly and the checkin process is easy. I enjoy the yoga classes including the variety and choices for class time. I would suggest a limit to sign ups for yoga class 3 days pre class.
Thank you, Name removed
Small setting, has a variety of activities, friendly staff, excellent yoga
The many yoga classes that are provided on the schedule for the Manlius, YMCA
THE PEOPLE! Val, Veronica, James, Heather, Donna...all my tennis peeps!
Convenient- has all the equipment I need although it does take a while to get machines back online if they need repair. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Do wish there was more variety of classes offered on weekends or after 6 for those that work.
I love everything about it😘
The people who play pickleball. The SACC room could use a good cleaning and it isn’t a normal size but the people are great
The front desk people are so nice. But you need to get your equipment fixed in a more timely manner. There are too low bikes, one has been out of commission for over a month or more. And there is a elliptical that has been down for months . Thank you
Friendly environment.
Exercise classes
The staff is amazing. I like the tennis clinics
Sacc picklebll, exercise equipment, friendly staff
Had an excellent experience with the painting class with Rachel and look forward to more. I usually use the facilities at the Fayetteville YMCA so I am not as familiar with Manlius.
Convient
Pickleball, weights
Wide Variety of equipment in the facility. Pleasant staff, kept clean.

Emmet at the Manlius Y. They helped me tremendously with the app that was cumbersome. His calm , caring presence was excellent.
The manlius Y needs a larger Yoga room so folks don't get shut out. Also, it need more evening gentle yoga.
Thank you!
