Member Testimonials
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!
The staff is very helpful. the area is clean and well kept. Lots of variety in equipment and classes

I live downtown and love being able to just walk over. All the essential things I need for a workout are there. I use the pool about once a week too!
Great people and great facilities
Particularly like the new Egypt, which is highly user-friendly efficient, and the on boarding was great
We took an intro to wheelthrowing class at the Y, and it was great. The instructor, Kelly Last name removed, was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and created a fun and supportive class! We would definitely take another class with her!
There are many types of classes. The childcare lets my daughter in law exercise instead of waiting for me to babysit; my grandson loves it. He calls it “ school”. The staff is always helpful. Sometimes I enjoy a cup of freshly made coffee and chat with other members before leaving. It’s an overall good experience. I especially enjoy the yoga classes!
The Southwest YMCA staff in the weekday early mornings are great! They are always there on time and they are friendly and helpful. Thank you to the dedicated early morning weekdays staff! Your dedication is much appreciated!
Staff is courteous and professional. The equipment is well maintained. Great overall experience.
Also, my son attended (and will attend) Y camp during the summer. Awesome job!
