Member Testimonials
The staff is great and it’s for everybody.
The weight room
The Tuesday morning running group and Thursday morning strength class with Ted.
Everything. The gym, the pool, the sauna. The fact u have swimming lessons for my kids. You have family packs so that my whole family can join. Everyone is nice, kind, and respectful.
Being able to swim and work on my aqua therapy. Because my disability has worsened as I have aged…. Water exercises is the only way for me to get meaningful workouts.
Everyone is friendly and easy going. Convenient location for me.
The experience of meeting new and exciting people
It has all the equipment I need. Plus handball courts . Always good company..
Gym weight room
Great experience
Only issue I have with the downtown YMCA is parking difficulty during winter months.
Everything
Downtown Y has everything you need in a gym and central location is also nice. I also like the vintage feel of the gym.
I like the location, classes, instructors, equipment, pool, and hours of operation. The facility may be dated, but it is clean and has lots of amenities, plus a great staff!

I love the downtown Y great staff great location great classes and equipment and a true asset to the Syracuse community! Going to the Y it’s so relaxing for me it’s how I get a little “me” time in my busy life 😊
I am a SYAC member. The comradery with other SYAC members is wonderful. The staff is always friendly and helpful. If you work downtown, it is so much more than an athletic club.
I love the downtown Y - especially the inclusive rules that are considerate of queer patrons and the key access women's exercise room. Those make the experience of using the downtown Y very enjoyable and will keep me coming to the downtown Y in the future.
Old but great compared to the other bigger y's men locker room need updating with locker and get rid of the carpet too much rust and bacteria.
I like the downtown writers center and the pool. Those are the only places I’ve been to at the YMCA.
Place is a gem. They don’t make places like this anymore. I wish more people would see the value in the community that the Downtown Y offers to its members. Thank you for providing a place that makes everyone feel welcome and accepted and part of a community.
Staff is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to help in any way to help.
