Lots of programs, clean, friendly staff, filtered water
Great people,:management , and facility...all good
It is well maintained and there is a variety of classes to choose from
They have programs I’m interested in. The SAC gym could be swept and garbage cans emptied more frequently.
I wish the yoga room was vacuumed daily, and that shoes were never worn in there by anyone. The yoga room needs a capital renovation to not only expand it but also upgrade the leaky windows. The lockers in the women's locker room are extremely outdated-- some don't even close. The straps on the shoes on the rowing machines don't hold anymore and need to be replaced. In general, the Manlius Y is starting to show its age.
I still have the same high praise I put on the last survey. If anything changes, I’ll let you know.
I do training with Monika & she has helped me big time toward rebuilding my post- surgery body. People are nice & facilities clean too.
I am paying $110 for a family membership at the Manlius location. I have an 8 year old son. We can't use anything most of the time because it is either exclusively rented (e.g. soccer field until 8 or 8:30 pm every day) or pay-to-play (e.g. tennis). I don't understand what a membership fee pays for. Unless something changes and we can actually use the facilities at times that make sense for children, it makes sense for me to cancel our membership and steer everyone I know away from the Manlius Y.
James Burgess and his staff are incredibly accommodating and welcoming. This YMCA location is by far my most favorite because of this.
It is clean and has a nice low key quiet environment. The staff is friendly and always helpful. But when are you going to replace the horrible😝 lockers in the restroom?
No complaints save two. The time it takes to get equipment repaired is ridiculous. Second, the youth tend to congregate on equipment and not use it in a timely fashion. It seems to be more of a social activity that can be conducted away from equipment.
convenience, equipment

Facilities keep declining. The dry sauna in the Men's room has been broke for so long. It got repaired and is now broken again. The locker rooms are in rough shape. For example ceiling tiles are broken or missing. Turf is getting pretty bad too. It seems like all the attention is given to the tennis side of things.
Too many people in main gym doing stretching which equals too many people parking in your lot. Plus the leader needs to stop singing during the exercise class. She has terrible voice. Save it for your personal shower.
I asked 4 months ago for broken strap on right pedal of recumbent bike to be fixed. It still isn't. Can you please address?
Total Body Strength with Elena is wonderful. The rest of the staff is also friendly and easy to work with .
The Manlius has a great selection of classes and most of them are included in your membership!
We had to badge in AND we were also asked to sign in to use the turf. Understandable for my son who was using the turf, but I was playing pickleball and had already scanned in as a member, so had to wait in line twice to "sign in".
Also, not a Y thing really, but the group playing pickleball was very selective in who they played with and were not very welcoming. I have never played with a group that doesn't just play who ever is up next.
Child watch is great, and the Y has all you need to stay fit.
I like the community and size of the Manlius YMCA.
The exercise room for dance aerobics gets too stuffy. The fans don’t help especially if you can’t open the door. I only come to Manlius Y because Tricia is an instructor.
The classes and instructors
Better plates for Olympic lifting. Fix equipment when it breaks. The lat pull down machine has been broken for months.
Excellant staff, all areas clean and well organized.A great experience.
