Member Testimonials
Northwest YMCA was outstanding, clean , beautiful!
The Downtown YMCA is a welcoming environment that brings in groups across ages, races/ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, the activities and exercise spaces are diversified, and it is accessible to a broad range of individuals. I've been to the Fayetteville, Baldwinsville, and North Syracuse Branches, and while they are great in their own rite and in some cases offer a wider range of programming, in my experience, they have always been crowded and severely lacking in attracting a diverse customer base. As a person of color, I do not feel as at home at those sites as I do at the Downtown YMCA, which is why I travel from Cicero to work out there. I always recommend the Downtown Y to those interested in joining a gym and getting started in pursuit of their fitness goals.

Staff and fellow members are polite and friendly. I use the swimming pool, primarily, and really like the hours available for lap swimming. Thank you!
I most enjoy the water activities - lap pool, therapy pool and classes. I have also used the exercise spaces and machines. Staff is knowledgeable.
With no prior experience, I started an adult wheel-throwing art class as a Christmas gift from my wife 6 years ago. The pottery classes at the Northwest Y have become a regular part of my life as they give me an outlet for my need to learn new skills and to be a maker. The classes are also a social construct because the instructor and other students have become friends and an important part of my weekly social circle.
