Member Testimonials
Variety of activities, inclusiveness
I enjoy the Yoga programs
I love childwatch. I love being able to drop my daughter off and know she is in good hands while I can exercise for my mind and body. Ms. kailyn is my daughter’s favorite. She lights up when she sees her.
Elena is amazing! I love all her classes and always look forward to going.
friendly staff, good options for yoga and pickleball, usual equipment for weights and aerobics
The gym is always kept clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. It’s great that the bikes were recently fixed. The biggest complaint is just that it can be hard to get an open bench as there are only 3.
Love WERQ

Took a great class. Total Body Strength with Jill H
The desk staff is very friendly, they even will give you a hair tie if you forget one! There is a great selection of classes that are included in your membership and the instructors are outstanding. Especially Elena G.!
Friendly
Great classes!
Beautiful Branch
Great staff, managed well & lots of open play pickleball!
The staff is very courteous and helpful. I like the variety of classes available and the caliber of teachers. They take the time to assist if wanted and educate which is important to me. The yoga room is small, but I prefer that environment versus a large, cold gym that has terrible lighting.
Colin is an outstanding tennis teacher!
Our trainer Ileana at the 9:30 class is one of the most thorough and encouraging trainers ive ever experienced. I've been to SEVERAL gyms my whole life. She is wonderful!
If I could suggest helpful needs they would be a couple of floor box fans when the temps get hot, more weights to meet the needs of the class and the turf desperately needs regular vacuuming. I offered to stay and vacuum it at one point.
Conveniently located on seneca turnpike and fayetteville town center.
A great place for the whole community!
I play pickleball and it's a great group. I understand that you have to walk a line between PB and tennis. Appreciate that I can play almost every day on the tennis courts.
Emmet at the Manlius Y. They helped me tremendously with the app that was cumbersome. His calm , caring presence was excellent.
The manlius Y needs a larger Yoga room so folks don't get shut out. Also, it need more evening gentle yoga.
Thank you!

I love the yoga classes! The yoga studio is the perfect size to see and interact with the instructor as well as other “yogi's”
Nice facility / great staff/
The person working at the Y are always friendly and courteous. You know like the rest of us they have bad days in their personal lives, but they never let it show at work. Also the cleanliness of everything.
I am SO not a gym rat. Tried the overcrowded, judgy, Fayetteville Y last year and stopped going after a dozen trips.
The Manlius Y has proven to be so superior both in terms of amount of folks and comradery (Yeah, I still detest exercise).
I have been working with Elana in a personal training capacity, and she couldn't be more positive and encouraging to this sloth who apparently needs to have constant accountability.

Space for the class and instructor were good.
