Some activity for everyone regardless of age or gender.
The staff is the best; always so friendly and attentive. The facilities are great. the equipment is always in good working order. The best thing is the camaraderie amoungst the staff and members.
I like the wide assortment of ways to stay active in my senior years.
This is made possible with the child care facility that I use while I participate in classes and work out equipment.

I love how friendly everyone is. I can go to the gym and not have to worry about being judged. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Swim Instructors are great, clean gym facility and friendly staff.
Pleasant place to workout. Employees are very helpful when needed. Equipment is kept clean. Halls and bathrooms are always fresh and clean.
Everything
I love the variety of Active Older Adult classes and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff.
I love the way the gym/weight area, feels like a real old fashioned gym. Some of the other Y’s have nicer areas, but not that real gym, weightlifting feel. I also love the turf area for people to practice sports. I love that there’s a physical therapy office at the YMCA. And, all of the staff people are so friendly and so helpful. Monika is a great personal trainer. It’s nice to see people of all ages working out there.
I do hope that this YMCA gets some upgrades to the parking area and it would be great to see the outdoor area upgraded so people can use a basketball court for instance. It would be nice to see upgraded weight machines and additional free weights. I know the other YMCAs in the area seem to frequently update their machines, but I think Manlius has been overlooked. Keep up the good work! The Manlius YMCA is definitely a hidden gem.
Enough machines for everyone to use!
Staff, facility, the offering/programs the Y offers.
Very friendly staff.
The great space, staff, and especially the eGym!
Wonderful facility and staff
Excellent instructors and variety of classes in both Fayetteville and Manlius.
I love my time spent at the YMCA with friends. I have been away for the winter and I truly missed the facility and friends. I did notice the downfall in cleaning in the ladies locker room. In the first bathroom there has been papers on the floor since I returned last Monday. The floors have not been swept or mopped in weeks. The debris, hair and dirt is concerning.
Staff was great and my daughter had a great time.
Great place to join many different types of classes, meet interesting people and location is greatly
They offer a lot of different programs for all!

Pools and variety of fitness machines . Ladies shower drains on left side could use some cleanser or something— moldy smell. Maybe some eucalyptus in the steam room?
