Member Testimonials
The community is wonderful. People always make me feel welcome and included.
I love the classes!
Very friendly staff at all times - very welcoming atmosphere. I am new to town and I have been very impressed. Mario is a treasure!
My daughter and I took a yoga class and the instructor was amazing. We had never been to the Manlius Y and the front desk person was helpful.
Friendly atmosphere
Friendly people, clean facility, good parking, and convenient location.
Pickleball on tennis courts
This specific YMCA treats my client and I with immense respect! They're personable and make you want to keep coming back!
I love the pickleball courts and availability.
Friendly staff, welcoming environment, good weight room. The Manlius Y is big enough to have good offerings, but right-sized for a more ‘homey’ feel and to not overwhelm.
Love the yoga instructor Hareen, she is truly outstanding!
Friendly staff, not too crowded, variety of equipment, good playlist
Very nice facilities. Bright rooms. Very helpful staff. Ease of parking and entering if you have mobility issues. Consistently welcoming.
the wide range and number of classes offered, the great instructors and making new friends
I live on Onondaga Hill and the Manlius YMCA is my favorite. I love the people who work there and the pickleball courts. I have made a lot of really nice friends.
Open pickleball time - need more days
The 12:00 yoga class is excellent.
The Manlius Y is clean, the support staff is very helpful and there is a lot of fun things to do.
Location and access
Welcoming people, many activities offered, accessibility.
Tennis facility is excellent
Group classes.
That atmosphere and how pleasant the staff was as soon as you walked through the door. This was my first time at this location.
I love going to YMCA for aerobics classes. The variety of Different classes helps us to hit all muscles groups. Very Grateful for this opportunity.
Tennis courts are cool in summer!
I like the teachers in the group fitness classes.
This Y has a particularly genuine, and personal feel to it. Most staff engage willingly with eye contact and offer of help, the classes are accessible, instructors very engaging and skilled. Not sure what happened to the 3.0 tennis league this summer, seems to have dried up. Veronica has done a tremendous job of keeping it going for a number of years I really appreciate what she did. Hopefully it will re-constitute itself with more interest and participation in the future.
In the meantime Drumlins has a group of 3.0 players which the Director organizes 3 days/week on a monthly basis. When I talk about the Y a number of those players indicate they'd love to play at the Y, didn't know about the league. Not sure what the solution is, things have a cycle.
Keep it up, a vibrant, happy place, well done!
I love the classes and atmosphere of the Manlius Y. The childcare experience is also a huge perk! Friendly staff and excellent instructors!
