Member Testimonials
I really like the Walking track.
Great trainers
Though it's the furthest YCNY from me, I enjoy laps swimming there when I can, and the other pools with my grandchildren. The facility (building, locker rooms, and pool) is clean and well-lighted. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, including helping me to search for my left-behind items.
Appreciate the facility very much! Just a mention again about the Steam Room....there should be an age limit for that room, I see young children come in both with parents and without parents, they usually struggle in that room.
Thank you.
wow... Great staffing who are personal and professional. The building is kept clean and orderly in all areas. The equipment is always clean and in very good working order. Also, the Trainers are willing to help with correct equipment use which prevents injury.
THANK YOU everyone for your hard work... professional care for us all!!!!

The place is beautiful nicely laid out and have wonderful activities for young children
Friendly staff
The people there are very nice and are all there for the same reasons we are there for
I like the parking. I also enjoy the assortment of water fitness classes in the warm pool.
Pickleball and pool
Variety of programs, cleanliness, staff professional and friendly.
I love the old school look to the rooms. Has a great staff, I hope it stays the same
We love it
I love the Thursday night lazy river class with Briant. The pool area is fantastic and I appreciate the life guards.
Meeting new people
Good environment. Nice people.
Thank you for all you do for us! And for keeping the pool water warm.
Very friendly, helpful staff.
I use the weight room, typically three days a week. IMO the Life Fitness machines in Manlius are superior to the Precor machines in Fayetteville.
A suggestion. Music in the weight room is fine, although none would be OK, too. Getting kind of tired of the 70s music that has been playing for months now. Changing styles every few weeks might be an improvement.
Overall, a good experience.
It's a lovely facility with three pools and a range of classes
The people at the desk and the tennis department are incredibly helpful and could not be nicer
It was just what i expected. Greeted, easy ck in and welcoming yoga teacher even though walked in for 1/2 class. No stress. Will go back
Great facilities. Locker room is too cramped
I like that the Y is kept very clean. Many of the instructors are top-notch for the classes I take.
Location, instructors, classes for seniors, clean
Lockerooms.
Variety of classes, affable instructors, strength of community, camaraderie among patrons. Facility could use some renovation (same with Fayetteville), and parking lot is too small, but Manlius is my favorite center!
Everything!
Close to home. Machines I like typically available
So many opportunities for all ages.
Love to see the community get together to exercise, play games, craft, have coffee & conversation....so much to do with nice people.
It’s an all inclusive atmosphere providing young & old opportunities to be healthier. The YMCA Northwest Family facility has so many choices for keeping your body, mind and social skills active and rewarding. A simple smile, thumbs up or hello to others is a habit that is natural. Everyone is precious and important. Maybe it’s someone’s Happy Place!

Pickle ball- but there needs to be a sign with all the rules and times- the older clientele seem to dominate the courts and intimidate beginers and families. But the courts are great
