weight room
I like the yoga/ other group fitness classes
Friendly, close by, has everything I need including WERQ classes. Wish it had some Zumba classes still as well.
Lots of equipment and other options, like the pool, gym, art, music etc.
Great fitness classes.
Well maintained facilities. Extremely competent leader of the Livstrong class.
I like the warm welcome I get when I arrive! I like the fun and challenging tennis drills. I love my tennis friends!
Friendly staff... Good programs and clean environment
Desk workers were knowledgeable and helpful
Sue, my pickle-ball coach 3 times,..was great...I learned so much and she was patient and gave compliments when she could!
I rec'd an email that I was registered for a class that I thought I was only on the waiting list for..I appreciated the heads up and asked a few questions..which were quickly answered..
Great facility..not as close to me as I would like but worth the drive...(I am near the OCC YMCA)
I love the availability of all the variety of exercise options
We always feel welcome at the Y. It's an important part of our community.
Variety of classes are offered at a variety of times. The instructors are knowledgeable and caring.
Most importantly, the Y listens to the concerns of the members and will respond to their feedback.
I like the convenience of the Manlius YMCA. I needs an equipment set up similar to Fayetteville YMCA.
The weight training; the staff; the feeling that it is a community hub.
The staff are very welcoming and are always available to help with any questions or concerns. The YMCA offers a vast variety of programs that fit anyones needs and wants. I love my YMCA family!
The friendly staff that works there!
Good facility, not overcrowded and pleasant workers.
Very organized clean facilities and plenty of good programs for kids.
Friendly staff and fun group exercises!
Friendly people and morning group ex classes are great!
Enjoy the friendly staff and new pickleball courts especially - Y seems responsive to the wants of its membership.
The Active Older Adults programs keep me moving. Jan has been an excellent facilitator. She will be missed. The exercise programs are very important to keep me physically active. The information programs provide good intellectual stimulation and important content. The Book Club is fun, interesting and includes stimulating discussion. These activities all promote increased socialization and the opportunity to meet new people.
Near my home and I prefer the weight machines that Manlius has vs Fayetteville. Friendly staff
It’s clean, a lot of equipment, people are friendly, and it’s big
The staff is very nice and the facilities are very adequate without being so huge that it's overwhelming to be there with big crowds.
A couple criticisms:
I'm really tired of Manlius still having so many virtual options. There are several classes that is like to take, but I'm not doing them virtually... I understand that there are people who are still anxious about covid - this is just my personal opinion.
The showers are not cleaned well enough. The walls, floors, and shower curtains are slimy, and have mildew. There has been a wad of hair in the shower for weeks. They need a deep cleaning, where someone takes a heavy cleaning agent and a scrub brush to the floor grout, including the corners. I do enjoy and appreciate the facilities, but the showers definitely need some serious attention.
The people are great!
Like the social experience with friends after exercise. Appreciate the Jan Levy Position at the Fayetteville Y-very important position for planning activities for the Active older adult group. Hopefully they will fill this position when she leaves,
Yoga class on Monday Tuesday and Wednesdays.
I love the friendly staff and the welcoming atmosphere. I love their wonderful Yoga classes, especially in the mind-body Yoga room!
Love the atmosphere. Love the people. Very clean.
