Member Testimonials
The classes are led by enthusiastic leaders and are fun but challenging enough. The gym may be a little shabby but the the employees are friendly and always say welcome when you arrive and have a good day when you leave. It is not crowded.
Friendly atmosphere
Pleasant space and staff with a large variety of things to do.
I am so pleased to find two things that I can do at the Manlius Y because I like walking there.
Nice and friendly staff; good facilities well maintained.
Location and the turf for teens

Friendliness of staff, clean environment, easy to travel to, ease of parking and accessibility, great facility with many offerings, overall nice place to go to for exercise and socialization!
The WERQ classes and pickleball
The facility is 15 minutes from my home, the parking is easy and everyone is friendly and welcoming when I arrive. I like the fact that it’s smaller than Y’s yet has everything I need in terms of exercise and sports that I play.
Friendly, very well maintained and easy access.
Love this location. My home away from home.
It’s usually not crowded and as a very introverted person, it’s a very nice environment to go to to work out. Not overwhelming and laid back.
Nice clean and felt welcoming.
Less chaotic than Fayetteville, smaller group exercise classes, closer to my home.
Perfect
Nice facility- great staff.
Very positive - friendly place
Lots of indoor courts for tennis or soccer.
The Werq instructors, Jill, Margarita and Trish are so fun, so high energy and welcoming to everyone who takes the classes. They are incredible!
Greetings by name, and tennis courts are usually clear of debris.
Two recommendations.
1. Install an entrance exit door--court #2
2. Upgrade the court lighting. National Grid has an ongoing LED Lighting program.
More intimate than the Fayetteville YMCA, love the Yoga studio!
The Manlius Y is small and homey and never over populated. The classes are all excellent.
We love the Manlius After School Care! Each teacher is so attentive and you can tell they really care for the kids! There is always a new activity or game for the kids to do, so they are never bored! My daughter never wants to leave at the end of the day, which is truly the sign of a great program!
The program was an amazing opportunity for my son. The teachers weee sweet, caring and very easy to talk with about his progress. I am so appreciative my son was given this opportunity to help him grow and learn.
The incredible staff! They are all
So pleasant and organized. I was originally worried about busing my child. But after dropping him off and picking him up for almost 2 months, I saw how well, and how organized they ran the pick up and drop off for the buses. I was confident that I had nothing to worry about. They do quite a variety of activities, I enjoy that they have the turf to play on.
Caring teachers and staff. Everyone does so much to care for my child. Environment seems welcoming.
We absolutely have loved our experience with the Manlius YMCA UPK program right from the start! The communication was consistent and clear, and once our son actually started we couldn't have been happier. Mrs. Calenzo is a fantastic teacher, who our son adores. The program was structured but allowed plenty of opportunities for fun. We are so glad to have been part of the first year--while there's nothing that we think needs to be changed, I can only imagine the program will grow to be even bigger and better! We have loved our time with the Manlius YMCA family.

I was standing at the front desk waiting for the person I was supposed to meet. As I waited I observed multiple interaction with the front desk staff, other staff and members. It is a very warm welcoming environment. People coming and going were happy, engaging, and had nice things to say to each other. My thought was, "this is a place I would like to be part of."
