I like to women’s fitness center
A friend and I used the pool one afternoon. Staff at the desk and the lifeguardd were friendly and helpful and the facilities were pristine. It was a delight!
The YMCA employee that helped me add members to my account was friendly and helpful.
I love the pool and the staff is always friendly.
I wish there were parking associated with the Downtown Y. I’m always worrying about exceeding my two hour time limit on the parking meter. The day I was downtown the pool was freezing, okay if you’re swimming laps but not so good for the hydro running class I was in. Nevertheless I enjoyed the class and would go again.
Every employee at the downtown YMCA has been kind and helpful. They always seem to have a smile. It makes for an excellent experience every time I go. Many thanks to your wonderful staff.
Love the pool and all the staff is great!
Easy, quiet. Pool is fantastic. Many exercise choices. Love the people on staff. Always helpful and those I exercise with. Over the years, I’ve developed lasting friendships. And at 81 I feel exercise has helped maintain my vigor. All due to Y. I like the building too. Parking can be a drawback. YMCA mission is so important and I especially support swimming classes for children. Thanks Y!
The front desk is awesome. The nicest, kindest and most helpful staff will sort things out if you have any questions or concerns before you begin your workout. They will take messages for other members of your group and take pictures as well. An advantage over private clubs in that they (Y) don’t try to sell you anything😎
It's close to my office and I like that it has a separate women's fitness area.
Not many kids. Not very crowded. Pool is very clean.

I love the downtown Y! I’ve been a member for 27 years and enjoy all the members I’ve encountered. Some have become lifelong friends.
Great spot to work out downtown. Great people, good classes, and a convenient location, with the affordability of a Y!
The swimming pool. ( I’m a lap swimmer

They have the greatest friendliest most helpful staff of any Y!
Pool access
Convenient spot, great staff and facilities.
I've been a member of the downtown for 45 years and enjoy it very much.
The warm, caring environment. I have to say Downtown has the most amazing woman that cleans and keeps everything so tidy. She takes pride in what she does and we should all be extremely grateful.
The DT YMCA has the best staff in the association!
The downtown Y has been a central part of my life since 1954(7years old). For so many years, my day started with a good workout, a great steam,shower,laughs with friends . The Y got me ready for the day.
I love the downtown Y and SYAC. The pool is fantastic, but I seldom use the pool.
The rumors are thedowntown will close, which is a shame. Many cities have downtown YMCA's and I think Syracuse should keep this open. I probably wouldn't keep my membership if the downtwon Y closed.
I've previously suggested that perhaps the Y might want to try partial memberships to boost attendance. For instance, the Y could offer a M/W/F pass at a reduced rate. I see that Bryant and Stratton is using our facilities, which is good. Anything to boost membership.
Regarding Fayetteville's Y, I find the pool to be uninviting; it's always turbid and I have found some disgusting things floating in that pool. Overall I find that Y to be very crowded.
Friendly staff, clean quiet pool and lockerroom
