Member Testimonials
Its closer to my home.
The classes!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff
Very well maintained facility
I am enjoying the classes added to the morning schedule.
The woman’s locker room, as well as the group fitness room, are in need of a good cleaning. The same dust balls have been underneath the registers for weeks in the group fitness area. The woman’s locker room has had the same clothing in one of the shower stalls for weeks. The floor is dirty and the area smells of mold.
It’s a blessing for me to live between the North Area Y and the Northwest Y. So I can go to either and have the e privilege to chose classes that fit my schedule np matter which Y I choose to go to! Love them both!
Great facility, great staff.
The track and pool. The layout in general.
front desk personnel, management and members - "the people" make the difference
The exercise classes.
People are friendly, facility is clean, instructors are kind, motivating and knowledgeable.
I mainly attend the Fayetteville, NY location and every single staff member I’ve encountered over the past few years I’ve been going are always so friendly, kind and smiling. The facility is very clean and I love how much the Y has to offer. I wish it wasn’t as expensive as it is but I’d rather pay the price for the Y and get all it has to offer rather than go to a less expensive gym and not get the same quality I get at the Y. I’m very happy with my experience there thus far and it’s been around 3 years now I think.
Yoga, pickleball
Pool and steam room
Needs updating & improved guest options otherwise it’s great!
New and large facility!
The facility is clean, has a lot to offer and the staff is friendly
staff are attentive and friendly. Equipment is clean and operational. And its not overly busy most days.
There are many good classes for Seniors (like me). There are classes for all levels. The equipment is plentiful, varied. The Y is clean and well taken care of. We are very lucky that so many people worked together to make this happen for the community.
Convenient location. Great facilities and super staff
Friendly and clean.
Met new people.
I love coming to the Y! There are so many programs to choose from. It's a great place to get in shape, socialize, relax, anything you feel like doing. People are friendly. Instructors are great. The facility itself is clean and has a lot to offer.
The classes
The variety of exercise options. It would be great if there were Tai Chi classes.
Nice
New equipment and friendly people!
My instructor for Strengh in Women, Marisa, is excellent! She is very knowledgeable, friendly and energetic. She explains the excercises, provides alternatives for those that have limitations, and creates class plans that challenge us but are still within our abilities. I like the format of the class, the small group size, and location away from the activites of the facility. I also love tailored and progressive workout that the EGym provides and hope that it will be added to the Manlius location as well. Also, The staff at the member desk have all been very helpful and friendly as well. I haven't taken advantage of other classes yet but plan to as my schedule slows down.
I love so many things about Hal Welsh. It’s a beautiful facility with the nicest staff who work there. I am always greeted by my name when I walk through the door by one of the staff. The staff are always cheery and bright with a smile on their face.
As an Active Older Adult, I am impressed with the activities and programs offered at Hal Welsh. I just enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch today with my Senior friends. It was wonderful to sit and share a meal together. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful AOA Coordinator who cares about us older adults at Hal Welsh East Area Family YMCA.
Friendly atmosphere and plenty of equipment
It was my first time here. The only thing I would change is to lower the temperature in the Egym room or add more fans. There was one fan in there, but it was still quite warm.
