Member Testimonials
The track is in great shape and the fitness room has space, even on busy days.
Suggeation: we have been trying to get into an adult pickleball league, but the pre-requisite class is difficult to attention and even get into. Is there a chance to have a 101 class at the Northwest Y instead of Manlius?
Everyone is friendly and nice there and willing to help you
Love the lazy river!!
Great staff and facility
Very clean
Great place, but we need later hours
It’s a great facility providing all the fitness options and equipment.
It has everything you could possibly need.
Everyone was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. I loved the water aerobics and the coach/instructor was very encouraging.
Everything is always so clean and nice Staff is always pleasant.
I use the track and bicycle’s. There are so many options for exercise.
Great place
As i have said before it is a very clean facility is a positive. I can't comment on youth accommodations b/c it doesn't apply to me as a older single member. However, in the 4 months i have used the YMCA it seems like there is something for everybody and their needs.
I love the helpfulness of employees and the wide variety of things to do! Being a part of the Livestrong and Laurie's Hope programs is greatly helping me in my cancer recovery and I am so grateful for those programs!
Everything. You're clean, have tons of equipment, have plenty of different courts and sports for the entire family, and attract mostly folks that are serious about maintaining their health. It's big, the aquatic area is huge, and you have sauna and steam rooms. The only think missing is a big hot tub. We also love the lazy river for our grandkids. The place is just awesome!!!
The facility is always very clean and up to date. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The reason why I didn't rate a 10? I have seen toddlers crawling on the track, different ones, more than once, and very young children running around without anyone watching them. I am in my mid/upper 70's and I am very concerned for their safety, as well as my own; I don't do well when startled. I never see staff up there, and if there are cameras, I suggest there is not consistent monitoring. Thank you.
The variety of exercise machines
I love the variety of classes for seniors.
No matter the time of day when I visit, the staff greet me with a smile and a kind word.
In the rare moments when I need assistance, the staff are quick to address any issues.
The facilities are kept in great shape, this is the best branch around!
Clean
I use the childcare a lot- they are all really good with my daughter- I also like the track and my kids like the pools
I have a wonderful trainer to help me every week increasing my physical movement by machines. I always feel better when I leave. I find the employees welcoming and positive while making the NW Y a clean, pleasant place.
I love the classes and the competent instructors!
Facility is better than any other Y in area
Staff there is Very friendly
You're all pretty cool.
My husband and I do laps swimming. Since the pandemic-era registration system, we've been swimming alternately at all the of the Syracuse area pools (excluding downtown). NW is lovely and light, and the options available (lazy River, therapy pool, sauna) are enjoyable. It does get a bit too loud, especially if you don't happen to like the musical choice, since there's almost always some kind of music going. The locker rooms are well-maintained, generally. It's quite a trek, since we live much closer to Fayetteville, but it's worth it once in awhile.
I also hope to work in the ceramics studio at some point.
Friendly staff and an amazing coach….Mickey Piscitelli!!!
Love the pool-more activity pool hours would be great.
Loving the body combat and kickboxing classes-more classes would be great!
Pleasant staff
Cleanliness
Programs offered
I love that I never seem to have to wait for equipment. It’s clean and the staff has always been friendly. Prime-time workers have always been great with all of my kids. I love that I can bring my kids to the turf on a Saturday and let them run around. It’s a great place for families.
The sauna, the pools
I work in the Aquatics!! This is such a beautiful place emotionally and physically! I so cherish my job here!
