Member Testimonials
I just love the Baldwinsville YMCA….mainly attending several of the pool classes , but aware of soooo much more that is offered . The cleanliness is very important to me , and the helpful staff are always welcoming . Also, I have met several new friends who are also happy to belong and are also appreciative of the Y . I love the relaxing front area, to have tea or coffee and look over books and local papers ,exchanging my books from home , and borrowing one from the book shelf . 👍
The exercise and the swimming
Love the North Area Family YMCA...it truly is a community!
Swim class sizes and instructors as well as a friendly front desk staff.
I like the group classes and the instructors.
Enjoy the different classes they offer. Have made new friends through these classes.
I like the variety of programs, the friendly staff and competent trainers and instructors.
The absolute stellar education and socialization my daughter received from the Y was no less than 5 stars! She had almost no interaction (prior to PreK) with children due to COVID and she blossomed in the care of the teachers. If you are wondering if the price is worth it--absolutely. The small class size and attention your child receives is so important during their youngest years, and it really helps prepare them for entering public school.
Personal service
It feels comfortable and everyone recognizes your face if not your name. I get offered a lock for a locker every time I walk in because I don’t have one and always ask. :) It’s clean and laid back. So many programs. So accommodating. It just feels like a safe place.
Joining the Y has literally been one of the best things I’ve done for my mental health.
I love that there is a quiet space in the gym area… where there’s an erg and balance balls etc by the windows. I haven’t taken a class yet outside of the water but it’s good to know it’s there!
I would love in the gym (the one with exercise machines) to have two machines switched. I don’t know what they’re called but they’re located in the area close to the gym desk, and kind of under the tv by the up-high yoga balls. One is a leg lift where you’re seated. The other is something you do “donkey kicks” with. I would love to use the latter one but it feels like it’s a clear shot for someone in the other exercise machine to stare at someone’s bottom. Hopefully no one is, but it’d be great to make it that much safer for all!
Also I love love love my diversity flag sticker from the YMCA. I LOVE that you guys are doing that.
Friendly people and staff
I think the North Area Family YMCA Camp is a great camp! I like that the kids get alot of outside time and get to swim. Both my kids really enjoy the camp!
Great place to work out. The hours should be extended during week now that covid is over. It is hard to go workout when work until 6pm and closes at 8pm, 6Pm on weekends.
Great facility, the pool, sauna and professional staff.
love it
Everyone is very pleasant!
There is a wide array of classes to choose from. The class instructors are knowledgeable, energetic and friendly. The front desk staff is helpful and welcoming.
I start my day with a swim and many friends that I have met over the years. I can't think of a better way to start the day.
I have found some classes I enjoy, greatly due to the instructor.
It’s clean- love that my grandchildren have strengthened their swimming skillls through their lessons there.
Mostly I only go for the pool. Love that it's heated, and not usually too many people.
Everyone is very social especially the front desk lady's.The facility is well kept and the equipment is well suited for everyone.
Water exercise classes available in the evening!
It’s clean,pleasant facility and close to home.
The classes are good and the people are nice.
I mostly use the workout room, and the bathrooms are kept clean. The workout room is kept clean and the equipment is almost never out of order. You rarely have to wait for equipment. At my old gym you often had to sign up for cardio equipment because it was in use. My granddaughters take classes and attend the camp and it's always been a good experience. The staff is friendly.
Friendly staff, availability of classes plus new app with class schedule
Very laid back atmosphere. Incredibly friendly staff.
Activities available for all ages
Mari is an excellent swim instructor for both children and adults!
