Member Testimonials
Great class instructors, and only 5 minutes from my house in Manlius.
So many different activities and classes
I enjoy the variety of choices that the ymca offers.
Easy to navigate-friendly staff-trainers are very helpful
Great variety of fitness classes. Excellent instructors. Addition of the eGym in 2025 has been great.
YMCA Northwest is a magnificent facility with so many options for any age. Newest equipment for individual use. Open daily for early birds and after a days work. Superb staff to answer anyone’s questions. E-Gym equipment is personalized for each member. We are all different. Pursing goals to be healthy at any age. All types of classes. The menu of options can be your reward when you participate. A great idea is on a visit walk all over the building to see what is available for yourself, family or friends who are eager to get off the couch. I consider it a Happy Place or Happy Space. You decide it’s your body. Game on!
the wide range of programs and exercise options
It is a nice place to workout, meet people, and relax. The kids enjoy the childcare center.
Friendly staff always helpful when needed. Great equipment - eGym.

ALL of the employees are absolutely the very BEST!
There is a big variety of classes and activities for all ages and abilities
Love the egym. Other positives: clean, well maintained, helpful staff, location
Signing in for therapy classes, on line. Staff members are friendly. Ladies locker room floor is dry after swim classes.
I enjoy the water classes in the therapy pool. The instructors are awesome. I use the e gym room frequently. There is a problem in the room that there are people-mostly older women, who either don't understand or don't care about going around the room in a clockwise direction. They skip all over the room messing up the usage for others. I feel the room needs some supervision from the staff. I have seen confrontations among members quite a few times.
I like the facility itself. Cheerful, Clean and welcoming.
I like the class Forever fit at 1045 on Thursday.For consistency, I wish the class was held twice a week at the same time. It would go along way toward my mental and physical well being.
Choosing other classes at various times there doesnt work for me. I need a consistent schedule
The Y has sooo many options for fitness and fun for the whole family; it's truly a gem.
Friendly welcome. Helpful staff ! Clean clean facility! Lovely place to be!
The pool deep end, gentle yoga and the staff.
I like the accessibility of water exercise programs in the morning, and the ability to use the therapy pool in the afternoons when I can't make a morning class. The book club for older adults is fabulous! The art activitites are also wonderful. I've made some good friendships through all of these programs.
I love walking the track and doing chair yoga with Linda she is the greatest 😁😁❤️
It's close to my home.
The Northwest YMCA has so much to offer! First, it is very spacious so one never feels like you are being crowded. Next, the programs offered are very good. All levels of activity are available . Three pools in one area is fabulous! Programs offered with various levels of exercise , and fun. The pools are significantly different which affords variety in the classes. The grand exercise room has many different exercise equipment so easy to find one that “works” for you. The rooms used for specific classes are comfortable and large, so many can participate.
It really is a GREAT Y. Those of us in the area are very fortunate to have such a service within a reasonable distance
Classes meet my needs.
Overall good, however please invest in your site as the building and stuff is starting to show it's age. Please build a better app that communicates all of the schedules well. For example when is the field available? Also the app should notify for any changes.
Feel very comfortable there. Staff is kind and helpful. Classes are varied.
They’re friendly. Lots of choices in activities.
Instructors are very good for yoga and WERQ classes!
Great facility
The instructors and classes are fun and a great workout. It is easy to get around and participate in a number of activities.
My daughter has special needs and she loves the lazy River and walking on the track. It is so wonderful to have someplace to be able to take her, especially in the Winter months.
