As an instructor, she cracked jokes throughout the class, which I thought was a really great way to make less experienced participants feel less self conscious. That might not be everyone's style, but I thought it was a nice change up from more straightforward, serious tone you might find in other studios. Also, she did a great job of breaking down more complex moves into easy steps to help students nail the form. The flow itself was a great balance of restful & simple moves, and more challenging moves -- but always perfectly paced, and never too much at one time. Great for beginners, and a good mix between strenuous and restorative. Also, it was just plain fun. Overall, this was a great time and quality guidance, and I would definitely be open to taking more classes with Syracuse Yoga. Would recommend anyone who is considering them to take the chance and try them out!

After attending one of his classes I've felt the most peace and inner freedom that I've ever felt in my life. It was seriously one of the most relaxing things I've ever done -- I can have an incredibly stressful day, come here and leave feeling a little lighter and happier. ILY's classes encourage you to challenge yourself, yet find your own practice and they don't encourage their students to all "look the same." Their instructors recognize that every individual has different strengths and weaknesses and deplore how yoga magazines sometimes emphasize there's a "right and only way" to do a posture. Practically every class will be imbued with a tinge of spiritual wisdom, so if that's not your thing -- you may get a little turned off. I encourage you to stick with it and just take it for what it is. They are just words which may resonate with you or they may not. The practice is great. Best studio in Syracuse -- hands down. In fact, every time I visit my parents in Syracuse I make an effort to go to a class. My only wish is they would have such compassionate and knowledgeable instructors who are able to blend theory with practice so perfectly in every city.

There's truly nothing better than a yoga class at Sky and taking in that gorgeous view of the lake, no matter the season. I came to Sky 3 years ago petrified that I'd make a total embarrassment of myself as I had never attempted yoga, but they were so helpful and welcoming that I instantly fell in love with yoga, and despite all of the studios around the country I've now frequented, Sky will always be my favorite and hold a special place in my heart. Their instructors are absolutely amazing; Courtney weaves her passion and love for the business into every thing she does, it's palpable. The community of classmates are always so friendly and warm; it's the closest thing I presently have to my own little community and I always look forward to connecting with them. There's always something new and fresh to look forward to in addition to the perfect weekly schedule which is created to have something for everyone of any skill level. Presently during COVID they have a really great system in place for streaming, special classes and more, though I'll always prefer the in-studio experience (which is open and very clean!) I can't wait until Covid passes and we can go back to the full classes full of love and light, I look forward to the little things they do to make every class special (essential oils, lighting, amazing music). Sky is so incredible that they're worth a special trip to Skaneateles, but especially if you're in the area, on vacation, or on the lake, stop in for a soul-changing experience!

The men's locker room has lately had a musty smell to it and there's been a sign up stating damage due to "humidity" but nothing ever done about it. Equipment is in severe disrepair and neglected. I've been paying 29.99/month and I honestly can't tell you what the owners use my monthly payment for, it's definitely not gym upkeep. The equipment is run down, rusty, broken and overall gross. You go to clean off any equipment and a rust like color comes off on the towel -- barbells and dumbbells included. Just using weights there makes you feel gross because of how much filth and neglect they've experienced. There's a pool and a hot tub but I've never used them. Given the state of everything else, I couldn't trust it. Mirrors are cracked all over the gym, the ceiling leaks in several spots. For what you are asked to pay and what you get in return -- this place isn't worth it. CNY doesn't have a shortage of quality gyms. Champions misses the mark by a mile.

The worst of the staff, SM, claims that she has been there since 1994, and her attitude is as though she has hated every day of it. She has no problem making snide comments about gym members as they enter the workout area, not caring that she can be heard. There is only a partition between the front desk and the hallway to the locker rooms and she can clearly be heard making rude remarks. When you walk into the workout area, you are met with a long corridor. On each side, is the most antiquated workout equipment you could imagine. The gym has been in existence since 1990, and they obviously have saved most of that equipment that is in use to this day. They do have 2 "pools", one is a swimming pool to the left as you go down the corridor, the other is pretty much a cesspool that is by the 2 universal machines at the back of the workout area. There is always a leak there, and especially during the summer or when it rains, you cannot use the universal machine under that area. Also during the summer, it is sweltering hot in the workout area. No fans and no air conditioning, and it is hard to breathe because it is stifling. There is a big unit in the ceiling that may or may not be the AC unit, but because it leaks so much, they don't turn it on. I would not recommend their personal trainers as they look as though they could use a personal trainer, themselves. I have noticed when a negative comment is left, the "gym owner" leaves comments such as "you should have told my staff", yet these issues have not been resolved. The gym manager, Christy, is in the workout area every single day. She sees the problems with the gym and her staff and yet, neither issue is ever fixed. The environment in this gym is not healthy physically or mentally. What some staff members like SM seem to forget is that we are dues paying members, which is where their salaries come from.

At the counter they have a case of baked goods, I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll, but my partner found it too dry. The employees were super nice, which is always a plus at a business where customizing your order is part of the process. I will say that the pu-er tea late that I ordered was very weak. Even with a cinnamon brown sugar flavor shot it felt lacking. They sell a large variety of loose leaf teas, shirts, granola, and other goodies. For those who are religious, they have a prayer board where you can write prayers and hang them up. If I was going off just aesthetics the place looks great, but the tea was lacking, and the cinnamon roll only appeased 1 out of 2 people so I think I'm forced to give it a 3 out of 5.
