Member Testimonials
The people
The employees are kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and caring. I primarily use the pool, which is maintained with excellence. The lifeguards are competent and kind. Additionally, the pool schedule is expansive, and as a frequent swimmer without a fixed routine, I am able to go to the pool on varying days and times. I also love the sauna in the women's locker room. I'm very grateful for the Y!
Convenient location, great pool and a nice selection of group classes.
like to work out and the staff are very nice to me.
time to invest in your health by swimming
The Y has been an integral part of my life for well over 50 years. The lasting friendships, runs and workouts all began at the Y. There is nothing more valuable than an early morning workout, followed by a steam bath and hot shower.. This regimen made me ready for the day.I am 6 days short of 79 , and it still works
I like SYAC, I like the lower weight room, I like the pool, I like the bike room, all the things the Y has to offer. I like the staff, I like the location. I like seeing friendly people I know and I like being accepted.
Need help getting out of the deep end. Please install handbar...Thank you very much..

The camaraderie between the staff and the members is remarkable.
Fitness classes are outstanding as are Stephanie and Lisa!
Downtown is the best. People are tremendous.
Everything
I love the pool. The lifeguards are very friendly. Kimilla keeps the women’s locker room and showers spotless. I also enjoy spending a few minutes in the sauna. The desk staff are always pleasant, especially Ken.
Great staff and easy accessibility
The downtown Y is my favorite. The building has a lot of "old Syracuse" character combined with excellent equipment, facilities and instruction. The membership downtown is diverse and inclusive...makes me feel accepted, and that I'm with people I appreciate knowing.
Also grateful for the terrific Y Writers Center downtown. Great faculty, inspiring courses, beautiful facilities.
I'm sorry that COVID reduced the number of classes. Hopefully, with time, the center will be able to rebuild.
Pretty much everything.
The members at the downtown Y, in particular SYAC, the pool, the track
I think the showers are great and clean!! They are the cleanest and have the best shower pressure out of all the Onondaga county ymca. The pool is a bit cold. The women's lockers rooms are cold too.
Great pool. Great lifeguards. Great service,
Warm clean pool easy to get a swim lane.
