Member Testimonials
Love the friendly people. Took my great nephew for swim lessons over the winter. He love them .
My only complaint is how cold it iOS in pool area. Kids shivered during all lessons and did t want to swim after the lesson too cold. Some kids wouldn’t get in.
We had a gret experience other wise- also I did pickleball and it was great!!
Cleanliness and great staff.

This is the BEST YMCA in Central NY!
Friendly greeting, swim times that meet my needs, clean pool area...
The group classes
I have been a member for well over a decade. I have made many YMCA friends over this time. And, I find that there is a sense of community here with the people I call my YMCA friends. We look out for each other. If someone has not been around in a while, you will hear people ask, "Has anyone seen Jimmy, or Bill or Nancy? I hope they are OK." It is a caring community.
I have also worked at this Y as a lifeguard and swim instructor. I have met and enjoyed creating friendships with many of the people I see each week as well as many on the Y staff.
great calm atmosphere to work out where the staff is always friendly and courteous
Staff are friendly. Classes are enjoyable & not overcrowded.
They have the program I want. The people are very friendly and all around the same age. I really enjoy this class. I never feel pushed to do more than is comfortable for me.

Convenient location
Cleanness! All of my family members can find something to do at it
The staff is great with the kids.
The kids look forward to going to the Y before school! They love Ms Laura and the teachers, have made new friends, and actually have fun. It is such a huge difference compared to the before school program we were previously with. I truly appreciate the teachers and their commitment to the kids.
Friendly, personable, and very reliable!
The YMCA is a great program and is affordable, depending care that we would recommend to any friends or family.
Very friendly, attentive Staff. Always feel comfortable knowing my child is very well taken care of while I'm at work.
Mrs. McDonough and Mrs. Dowling are absolutely amazing. Kind, caring, considerate, and have a true passion and calling to what they do. They are child centered and truly wanted the best for my son. They worked with me and his CPSE team (as he was receiving speech therapy services), to ensure his needs were being met from therapy to home to the classroom. I would not send my children anywhere else.
The teachers are warm and wonderful. The kids grow so much socially and academically, and it is so evident that there is routine and fun in their days. Nothing but good things to say about the preschool program here!
The staff are very engaging with my kids and quick to respond about any of my concerns. I love the Brightwheel App and knowing how my kids days are and getting pictures too. My kids both enjoy coming here and like their classmates and teachers. My older child is learning so much and does yoga, music, etc. Keep up the great work!
Our kids love the staff and all of the activities keep them constantly engaged!
Both our kids have gone through the Preschool Program with Mrs. Dowling, Mrs. Orth and Mrs. McDonough. I can't say enough nice things about it. Truly, an incredible program. This is my daughters last year there, and my wife and I regularly talk about how sad we are about it. I couldn't ask for a better experience for my family.
The teachers are absolutely amazing! They are hands down what makes this preschool program so special. They genuinely care about the kids and cater to their individual needs. They are patient, kind, attentive and supportive. We just sent our second child through the program and plan to send our youngest when she’s of age.
Amazing teachers! Class size allows for individual attention and focusing on each child’s needs. My son loves the Y!
Ms. Dowling is phenomenal. Goes above and beyond. She is absolutely amazing with the children and parents for that matter. So understanding and just an all around wonderful teacher.
I am so impressed with how much my son learns in such short period of time. And he really looks forward to class. The teachers make class fun . The teachers are easily accessible when you have a question and plan fun events. Overall we are very pleased with the preschool program and have already recommended it to some friends.
Everything!! The teachers are wonderful! My daughter has learned and grown so much, and I also know she's in good hands.
My daughter learned a lot! Always had fun going! Great teachers
Friendly individuals at North and Wetzel all the time.
Coffee is great in the AM, but there are individuals who enjoy coffee later on.
