Member Testimonials
The workers are so friendly and nice to the kids. I love that they always set out activities for the kids, even first thing in the morning at 7am. It makes a big difference for making the kids feel comfortable, and gives them something to look forward to instead of dreading it.
We have had a wonderful experience at the after school program held at Minoa Elementary.
The staff! They are absolutely wonderful. My son loves to attend the morning program. Keep doing what they are doing....they are very much appreciated!!
The staff at Cicero Elementary YMCA are absolutely amazing!
It’s convenient and a fun atmosphere
The staff is very friendly and they’ve built a great relationship with our son.
Encouraging for kids!
Well equipped, well staffed.
There is a wide variety of sports for kids to choose from. It would be nice if there was a way to include some baseball activities especially during the off season
The quality of staff and programming! My son has been participating since Pre-K. He gets mad when I pick him up too early from aftercare. Thank you for all that you do!
Excellent! I love the pool.
The staff at the downtown Y is aplways pleasant and welcoming. The facility is always clean and welcoming. The women's fitness center was always great but it is even nicer now with the recent improvements. Thank you to the Downtown Y for providing a safe, welcoming and nice environment for all members! As with all the Syracuse YMCA branches, it is a great place to workout!

The E gym
I love the variety of activities. Not just for exercise but also the art classes, the book clubs, etc. The EGYM is the best part for me. Also it’s bright and clean. I just love it!
Lots of senior activities to choose from and walking track
great amenities and classes!!!
I really like the indoor track for walking especially in the winter. Gym equipment is not busy to use
The heated therapy pool is a wonderful place to heal !
Close proximity, but parking is a cjallenge. and everything is cramped and not up to standard. May have to rebuild or move out to bogger space?
The center is well maintained with many available options to exercise to include workout equipment, pools, sauna, basketball court, pickleball courts and track.

The people. Mrs Bri is the best. She is so great with the social emotional stuff with my (rather sensitive) son. The team there really exudes warmth towards the kids and this puts them at ease.
