Member Testimonials
The people. Mrs Bri is the best. She is so great with the social emotional stuff with my (rather sensitive) son. The team there really exudes warmth towards the kids and this puts them at ease.
The staff! They are absolutely wonderful. My son loves to attend the morning program. Keep doing what they are doing....they are very much appreciated!!
The staff at Cicero Elementary YMCA are absolutely amazing!
It’s convenient and a fun atmosphere
The staff is very friendly and they’ve built a great relationship with our son.
Warm pool, good exercise, nice instructors.
This particular YMCA gives me more of a homey feeling compared to other locations. I feel very comfortable at The North Area Y.
Pickleball and swimming!
Staff are kind and helpful during the time that I go, M-F 5:45am-7:00am.
The e-gym and the treadmills. Also, the friendliness of the person who showed us around.
Great classes
I love the staff and the variety of classes. I like that the Y supports causes that help people who don’t have as much as some other people.
I’m not completely thrilled with the necessity of having to sign up in advance for Pool classes, although I understand it. The Y is getting very crowded and that makes it difficult for me to use the facilities and the pool easily.
Love the Y! Found the times that work best for me.
Its closer to my home.
The classes!
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!
People are friendly, facility is clean, instructors are kind, motivating and knowledgeable.
New equipment and friendly people!
I enjoy the pool temperature, and, appreciate the cold weather adjustment. Our lifeguards are professional, friendly, and, efficient. The cleanliness of the pool and locker room are excellent.
The instructors are always so upbeat, motivating, knowledgeable and encouraging. I look forward to walking through the doors and always feel amazing when I leave.
Love North Area Y! My go to place to work out and love they put eGym in.
Classes
I rejoined the Y family of gyms due to Baldwinsville Y having the EGYM and the great walking track.
Having the EGYM brought me back to the North Area Y. I love the efficient workout of the circuit and the people (Margerite and I think "Chris" who is a graduate from SUNY Cortland) are super welcoming and the smaller setting actually makes it a location I want to split my time between (bville and Clay).
We had a long history with the Wetzel Y with my children playing sports there (28 and 25 years old now). It is nice to return!
