Lots of interesting programs for all ages. Great employees and volunteers.

Equipment is great, staff is excellent

Update the women's locker/shower room

Staff is welcoming in every way. The facility is well maintained and clean. Programs are very impressive. Thank you for allowing me to bring my granddaughter this coming weekend ! My son works at the Pentagon as a Lt. Colonel and will be visiting. They are welcoming !

The sauna(s) are gross.....clean up the place....so many nicer YMCA's out there....this one is just dissappointing and depressing

The facilities are great. The classes and instructors are wonderful!

It was my first time going there. It was very nice and big. The staff is friendly and helpful and professional. I like it but it might be too big for me, though.

Everyone is friendly and the teachers are fantastic!

Friendly atmosphere ,

Nice pool with good reliable hours, friendly people, diverse members and bright clean facilities with modern appearance

Friendly staff who talk with participants as friends. Great choice of group classes. Well rehearsed classes. Group is well led through different activities and alternatives.

Social aspect of run group.

Friendly people and staff

You have good hours, the staff is friendly and I enjoy swimming and the egym.

The staff is very supportive of my daughter who has Down's Syndrome.

For me, It's only five minutes away. People who work there are helpful and friendly. Definitely a sense that everybody is welcome. All the signage promoting good health and good values. Good for young people to see snd experience. A really valuable community resource. A sense that making a lot of money isn't the most important thing. I'm grateful it's there.

CLEAN

Classes, friendly, inclusive atmosphere.

I just got back from a month visiting in other areas. I tried three different Y's and there is no place like ours! No e-gyms, no whirlpools, saunas and nothing like the arts programs, exercise schedules, virtual classes. We are truly blessed to have this facility and programming in our area,

You continue to do nothing about having the facility fully open st 0530 am. I continually find garbage on the floor, empty paper towel dispensers, empty cleaner bottles, and tvs not on until 545 or even later. You know you have a problem yet you do nothing about it. You continue to increase membership price and decrease services.

I'm a senior with mobility issues. I respect the way instructors invite people of all ability levels to participate, and protect the dignity of those individuals.

The people are friendly, the facility provides what I need, all good!

I like the whole facility. People are mostly friendly. Iespecially like the exercise classes and variety of classes. Love the exercise room. Love the instructors.

Are not sensitive to listening to people who have had special needs

Friendly, clean, and a good variety of health-related projects and activities. Plan on attending the smartphone privacy class.

I was recently at the Fayetteville Y and was approached by a woman in normal workout clothes and rudely told that I could not be in the upstairs cardio room with my 3-year old daughter because it was unsafe, mind you that at the time I was holding her and simply looking out the window down at the pool (one of her favorite things to do is watch people swim). We weren’t there to work out, just simply walk around the Y, we have been doing it for months and have never had a problem. Apparently this was an off-shift supervisor from the front desk department named Maura. I said “Okay,” and then left the area. My issue isn’t the age policy, but the fact that the worker thought it okay to stop her workout and harass me and my daughter, she wasn’t working and she doesn’t even work in that department. The appropriate thing would have been to inform a staff member who then should have approached me.

great employees anc coaches

Clean facility. Many great amenities. Art studio with pottery classes is a great perk. Nice swimming area.

Location is ideal. Our trainer is excellent. The exercise equipment is reasonably, but not perfectly, well maintained. The indoor air quality is so-so, a little too warm at times in summer. The locker rooms are usually clean and sanitary in appearance, but sometimes a slight hinky odor.

Staff are pleasant and trainers are helpful.

You devoted a whole month to pride month. You still use the word Christian in your name. God loves people, but not their sin. Promote real and true values. People can and do whatever they want, but we do not have to help them go astray. I treat people kindly and respectfully and I am all for encouraging good character. You have a mistaken perception that the gay, trans agenda is a good idea.

I always feel like someone is willing to help me at the Y. It feels safe and accepting, it’s a great place to bring your children.

I enjoy the HIT class with Cindy. I also like the Zumba class on Saturday at 10:30. Front desk are always friendly and helpful.

I love the YMCA and all that it has to offer!!! The facilities are great!!! The cleanliness could use a good bit of help for sure in the locker rooms and in the saunas!!! I know that it can’t be tended to daily but there are times when I have gone to take a shower after a workout and the drains are full with hair and other particles from others showering and it is standing water. The saunas are not too clean on the walls and the floors. The functionally of the saunas is questionable. They don’t come on and off by themselves. People will pour water on the spout above to get the steam to come out. The whirlpool is on its second week of not running properly. That is a selling feature for me but when it’s not running not so much. Overall I do love the ymca but it could definitely use a good scrub down and working on tuning the facilities up .

The staff and instructors are very nice. The facilities are sufficient for my needs. Classes arr fun and teachers are so supportive. I feel like I belong when I’m at the Y.

Cleaner, consistency with check-in process, safety/security could improve (sometimes the check in person isn’t at the door), improvement with swim lesson sign up, consistency with rules in allowing children to be in workout areas and misbehaving

I like everything about the Y, except people parking by the entrance, where there is a no parking sign to let people off or pickup people leaving the Y.

Equipment and facilities are old and age is showing.

I love the exercise and swim programs, the variety of equipment and especially the personal trainers.

There are two things that I do not like. First is the fact that, over the years, I have put in several requests for signage to be place on the wall facing the ellipticals informing people that they should NOT talk on their phones. I have not once gotten an acknowledgment that my request was received. What is odd is that this signage already exists in other parts of that same room so this is not an unusual request. I previously made the requests on comment cards, but recently learned that comment cards no longer exist. A YMCA employee was kind enough to take my request in note form and said she would provide it to the right person. But I still have not gotten a response (the note included my name and phone number and email). Please be advised some people engage in conversations on head phones and speak so loudly, I can hear them through my own noise-muffling head phones. YMCA floor staff do not get involved when this happens.

Second, the precor ellipticals are consistently not functioning well on eqym mode. I have spoken with YMCA personnel and they say they are aware. Sometimes the resistance does not match what is on the screen, and sometimes the resistance does not change at all! The touch screen function is also frequently off-kilter and one has to press all around the highlighted area in order to find the location that will change the mode. This is very frustrating.

it has a pool

I take pottery classes - love the vibe and sense of community that Jennifer Sweet fosters! An outstanding director!!!

I like the therapy pool classes but feel it is too hard to get into a class. Some of the women take multiple classes in the therapy pool each day. I think they sb limited to sign up for one and if by the day before the class there is still an opening they could sign up for it.

The variety of group classes and instructors. The Zumba class on Thursday was loud and I almost stepped outside, but I thought it would've been rude.

There is a wider variety of equipment than at the Manlius Y

Everything

The East Area Y is not as friendly as the downtown Y - people don't interact as much. Also, the staff should be trained to smile . . .at least "fake" like they're happy, even if they're not. When you pass staff in the hallway they also need to be trained to at least acknowledge the other person with a "hello" or some interaction - this includes everyone: junior staff members, cleaning associates, et. al. People need to be hired with these things in mind.

Some of the people working out have no concept of how annoying their constant phone conversations can be to those who don't want to listen to it. It would be nice if there were more stringent rules about phone use while using the machines. Other than that, I enjoy the facility, but often use the Manlius Y to work out in peace. They have an older population who are not glued to their phones.

Convenient , people are so kind
