Teagle is by far the best Fitness Center at Cornell. It is conveniently located, has a swimming…read morepool and has two floors creating a great cultural split for working out. The top floor is dedicated to machines (cardio and isolation resistance training) and the bottom floor is dedicated to Olympic lifts, free weights, and bar weights. So naturally the top floor is friendly for people of all body types; people don't have to worry about being intimidated, judged, or having to deal with meat-head behavior (like excessive grunting). The bottom floor is where the intense (potentially aspiring) muscle men and women go, and they don't have to be bothered by people who are less intense about excercise than them. The gym does get crowded, but far less than Noyes or Helen Newman. I have never had to wait for a treadmill longer than 1 hour here. Most of the time you can sign up for a spot within 30 minutes of your arrival, so you can comfortably do a little resistance training before your cardio workout without waiting endlessly afterwards (like you have to at Noyes).

This is the largest athletic building on campus for non athletes. There is a pretty nice swimming…read morepool, a room that holds yoga and other classes, a free weight gym and a cardio / weight training equipment room. Teagle is conveniently located on campus, so students and staff can go better classes or right after class. The only negative of the building is the locker rooms. They are pretty outdated and several of the toilets and sinks are in pretty bad shape. The locker rooms could use a renovation. As far as the workout facilities though, there is a large range of equipment and plenty of space.

The community center is a great place to work out or bring the family for a day of fun. They have a…read morewide variety of group exercise classes and their fitness center is clean and quiet which is nice to get a good work out completed. Everything they have to offer is awesome and a day pass for an individual or family is great price to do multiple activities. From their aquatic center with a competition pool, splash pool for kids, and hot tub and even a water slide to open skate with rentals included. Overall a great time and easy to come and go throughout the day. Grab a bite to eat in the village of Skaneateles or try the community centers new concession stand that's operated by a local favorite, at long last!

My opinion. Please note, I can only rate the pools and locker room. This YMCA is in poor condition…read more I travel around and this by far was the worst i have experienced. I was shocked how old it appeared to be. Everything in that locker room was old and dirty. What I especially did not like was the lack of easy steps into the lap pool. I found the ladder difficult to use in order to get out. I have a disability that limits mobility. The pool area was rather beat up and needs attention. I did not see the work out areas. I did notice the coffee maker in the lobby was broken. If this is the only YMCA you know you would not realize the comparable differences. I had zero contact with any staff so I can not comment on such.
