Member Testimonials
I am new to yoga and adore Jamie’s class. She teaches at a level where everyone can participate and makes everyone feel special. The one hour session improves my physical as well as mental wellbeing. It is no wonder why her classes are full.
It has something for everyone!! Very clean and well maintained!!
Clean and fun place to get your exercise in. Large area, low key and comfortable setting. Staff is very engaging and helpful. E-gym is the best.
Clean gym equipment. Very friendly and helpful staff.
I love the water fitness classes and all of the staff, Everyone is helpful and kind. There are many varied water fitness classes which is a good thing because sometimes it is hard to get into a class but at least there are other choices.
We're very happy to have our kids included in the Y's after-school tween program. The staff are all wonderful, and our kids feel included in the activities and enjoy going each day. thank you!
We're very happy to have our son back at the Manlius Y for am care. The staff are wonderful and he is excited to be there. thank you!

Yoga!
Love the quality programming and the fun, family atmosphere. Best Y around!
Convenience. For adults it’s very good options. Everyone in the family can go.
Wish you had more than one pickle ball court as it’s always in use every time I go. I wish you turned the back basketball court into permanent pickle ball courts. There are always open basketball courts when I go.
Wish there was activities other than the pool for age 3-7 year old child. The turf is great- but it is always full every time I go with big kids and adults (not saying it should be kids only). Even the family time on Tuesdays almost always has soccer with big kids and adults playing the entire field/space. My kids want to run around and play sports- not stay in child watch. Wish there were 2 turf spaces or smaller turf for little kids to just run around on as they are excluded from the track.
I am happy woth the facilities
Exercise classes, I like the instructors as I feel like they encourage good form and they give options for various levels of ability. The elliptical, bike, and the track.
The staff was very nice and inclusive of all the kids. They were extremely responsive one day when my child was late getting to the program. All ended up being fine, but they contacted me right away, which I appreciated. My child was always having a good time when I came to pick him up from the program.
I love the egym and the aqua classes. The staff are also very friendly and professional and are happy to assist you with anything you might need. There is so much to do at Hal Welch Area YMCA, and they are always adding extra things you can do if you would like. You will never get bored there for sure.
The people and the atmosphere. Monica is the best trainer!

Nice clean environment and I like the track
Classes are varied, instructors are great, staff is friendly, facility is amazingly clean!
Good Customer Service. The front desk representatives are always patient, helpful and friendly. The gym and bathrooms are kept clean. The pool and work out gym are my fortes. I enjoy the pool lap lanes. The gym work out area is easy to navigate. I like all the machines & weights. Machines are kept clean and maintained. My only gripe is some rules are not followed or enforced by personnel. Such as…people not wiping down machines after using, people leaving their coats, work out bags, yoga mats(rolled up), personal items in and around the gym; mostly on and around the tables/chairs near entrance of gym weight machine section
Coaches come up with fun games that teach skills & the kids aren't pressured to be super competitive.
THe pool

The facilities are wonderful. It is a friendly and welcoming place!
