Member Testimonials
I just wish there were more classes offered. At my other ymca in Queens there were more class options. Also when going to classes there are not enough weights. The ladies/gentleman in Childwatch are amazing! Thank you for taking care of my kids!
Friendly and encouraging people
Friendly staff, many exercise options and special events. Non judgmental feelings
Friendliness of staff, cleanliness of building, brightness of interior, classes offered, members adhering to cleaning machines after use . . .
The Y is a community center. I’ve met more neighbors here than I have since my kids were in school and I was meeting other parents all the time. People are sharing fun activities instead of staring at divisive messaging on our screens. The staff go above and beyond to make it a welcoming space for all. I love the Y.
Love the pools
Newer facility with nice equipment

The facilty is clean and well maintained....friendly staff and always willing to help.....
Great instructors, friendly staff, clean and well maintained facility and many offerings.
I use the Downtown Y pool generally once per week. I like it is not crowded in the afternoons when I typically go.
The atmosphere, the amenities, and the entire staff is friendly and amazing!
Beautiful facility, great staff. E-Gym and classes are great.
Feel like being in a family there.
I just started at the YMCA and I am enjoying the first couple of trips.
I really like the Pilates class and I'm going to miss the instructor when she leaves. There is a good variety of yoga classes.
The cleanliness and the E gym

Convenient and the staff are the best…
We had a wonderful time at open swimming. We really enjoyed the “open-no lane markers” in the lap pool.
Good staff. Clean. Welcoming.
So far I have used the Y only for swimming.
I appreciate that I have access to the facility.
Friendly staff, people who attend are also talkative and friendly. I love that it is cleaner and brighter than other YMCA's in CNY. I talk about it all the time and recommend my friends to sign up! Thank you YMCA!
Since I have retired I feel like the Northwest YMCA has been my place to go almost every day to keep my body strong trough classes and to socialize in book club. It is my cafe to meet up with friends after a workout. I hope to try an art class this year.
My only concern as of late is that the chair yoga class on Tuesday has had to turn away people. It is an amazing class and I get there early to line up but I feel bad that people are turned away.
The Egym & variety of classes offered
I love the incredible variety of programs, resources, and opportunities for all ages. The atmosphere is welcoming and the facilities are well maintained and clean.
Good classes, clean facility and always new events.
