Family oriented atmosphere with friendly staff personnel especially the women attending the receptions area…… and the workout areas are well cared for and very clean thanks to a great maintenance team…. I’ve made several new friends at this facility…..
It’s always clean and bright, the staff are super friendly and helpful, and the machines are usually maintained well! What I love the most about North Area is NO TV’S!!!! I can watch what I want on my treadmill without seeing Fox TV in front of me!!!
I like that you made a new membership for college students while they ate home on breaks. Thank you
We took a pottery class with Kelly, and she was a fantastic teacher. She was knowledgeable and patient! We had a wonderful time and already have plans for another class.
Our children are signed up for an upcoming Valentine’s Day art class, and are very excited to have a great time as well!

The staff is very friendly and the building is very clean. They have a large workout area with machines and weights and lots of classes to choose from. This place is terrific!
availability of equipment
Staff is always helpful and friendly. Facilities are kept in reasonably good repair and are always clean.
I enjoy Anne Foerster's aquatic exercise classes very much. She's an excellent instructor, allows individuals to go at their own pace but always encourages us to do more. She's very friendly and accommodating, adding several classes over the last year or so. Anne is a real asset for the aquatic dept. and they Y as a whole.
The lifeguards need to do a better job of keeping families/children out of the shallow end of the pool during the Monday evening class.
The last time the pool was closed for maintenance I could tell that some significant and much-needed cleaning had been done, which is not always the case. Also, the lighting was improved in the women's locker room and surrounding areas.
The front desk staff are usually very polite and welcoming.
The programs that they have for family's.

I actually prefer the Manlius YMCA due to the weight machine choices way more to choose from and better laid out. I also love the fields and that the bikes are near that.
