Member Testimonials
Easy entry, available stationary bikes, roomy exercise track.
Staff is very nice and helpful. Facility is clean. Variety of classes.
i like the Bville YMCA set up better than the others in the Syracuse area. I like the 3courts to play basketball, the large recovery pool, better sauna and steam rooms. The weight room is subpar and crowded. Nice machine selection
Clean, well staffed full of opportunities
Inclusion
Nice facility with many options of exercise. Convenient and easy parking .
Classes are wonderful because of instructors. Informational, alternative positions readily available, calm and empathetic are descriptions that readily come to mind.
I love the art studio and all the options there are. I have discovered a whole new side to myself.
Friendly and personable staff always willing to help. Excellent facility that is well maintained and provides activities for all age groups.

Location, great employees, neat and clean
clean, nice desk staff, nice facilities, not super crowded
Priya loves the different activities offered at after care - even when the weather doesn’t let them go outside and play. So thankful for this program! It’s a safe place for working parents to send their kids.
I love the YMCA, especially the Northwest branch. The only thing that would make it better is if there was 24 hour access (or increased hours on the weekend)...I would be willing to complete a background check or any other steps for this to be implemented for certain members.
The swim instructors
Instructors of exercise classes are excellent! I would suggest adding more classes though because morning classes are getting very crowded.
Very friendly atmosphere. Lots of things to do to switch up your workout!
Great staff, consistent care, more outside play time for the kids.
My girls love the variety it offers and real quality time to play with their friends.
The offerings and facility
Friendly staff, good equipment and facilities.
The front desk always greets you by name when you check in. The front desk is extremely polite and help you with any program information. The Active Older Adult program is great specially the outdoor walking and Monday/Thursday classes with Karen. The Les Mills Body Compact classes are well taught including the special days. The Breast Cancer brunch was very informative as well as the Senior Fair. Olivia and her assistant do a phenomenal job with the Aqua program including every lifeguard. Jill, Denise, Jennifer and the new instructor do a wonderful job with classes. It is great having time to walk the lazy river.
Overall a great program!
