Member Testimonials
Availability of free weights and areas where I can mix in a higher intensity workout with short jogs or jump roping.
It’s also not quite as busy as say Fayetteville.
The front desk is friendly and helpful and the group exercises are great. People are so friendly and you get a good work out.
Nice staff. Fun pickleball play.
Convenience. Good staff
Staff was extremely helpful showing my wife around who was not a member at the time. She has now signed up and even registered for her first class.
I love the connections I’ve made by attending classes. There are a range of types of classes I attend and they are all great! The instructors are personable and compassionate while giving you a great work out and encouragement!
The people!!
Convenient
This is our second year with before and after care at the Manlius Y and we absolutely adore the staff that care after our son. We can shout the praises of this experience enough.
Kids liked it there. Bus comes three quickly from school saving kids time. It would be even better if some afterscho activities were offered such as soccer, etc
Terrific management and our kids love the experience
Love the gentle yoga classes - can you have more in the early am - before 10? Julie is great at the 7:30 am Monday class! It’s hard to get into later classes since the max class size is 15 and it’s a very small room and fills up fast and I don't always remember to sign up (required every 2 weeks). Lots of us seniors around that need this awesome workout to improve flexibility.
Everyone is friendly and helpful here, I live in DeWitt and Fayetteville is closer but they have very few gentle yoga classes, even though they have lots of space!
Very child oriented. They care about each child. Fun and structured activities. They go out of their way to help children feel welcome and wanted. Beckett has been an absolute blessing to our family!
Kind, responsible staff who get to know all the kids and offer a range of activities. Also - great outside play space!
I love my total body class on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays at 9:30. Great class! Best instructor ever. :)
Friendly and welcoming staff, and pickleball programs!
Yoga. Especially on Saturday mornings. Also the pride flag at the front door. I would just like a larger yoga room.
Great pools. Terrific arts classes. Would love more weekend activity pool hours for my grandkids
Usually not overcrowded in evenings. Do wish there were some other class options during after work hours.
Tennis courts are in good shape. Good selection of weights. Separate cardio room. Turf field is great.
The friendly atmosphere and equipment choices.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Nice facility, with a variety of activities and equipment.
Great staff
Clean, great equipment, not too crowded, nice staff
It is a great focus for so many people, mostly children and teens. As a former educator, I watch how the adult coaches work with the kids and am impressed and grateful that these young people have such positive role models.
The staff is great, always helpful and attendant to the needs of the place.
If there were ever the opportunity for CNY YMCA to expand, I would suggest moving into the athletic center at the former Cazenovia College. Just a thought. The center is large, has a pool and gyms and would be a great addition to the area.
Not crowded. Very friendly staff.
Great exercise classes and instructors
It's not to large. It's just comfortable there to exercise.
how helpful the staff is

The Manlius Y employees are amazing! They know everyone by name, always friendly and helpful.
I hope there is a plan to revitalize the clay courts for summer playing.
