I was visiting some family in Manlius and discovered that this YMCA has a very nice policy for students over the holidays where you can get a membership without a join fee (since so many of the students come back only for a limited time.) I decided to do this since I am a big fan of getting some daily workouts in and I'm so happy with this facility. Firstly, the staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. I really enjoyed a walking in everyday and being greeted with such warmth. Secondly the facilities are very clean, from the main lobby to all the workout areas and even the locker rooms. Finally, this branch has anything you might need: they are so well equipped! There are indoor tennis courts, they have an indoor field of turwhere people practice soccer and lacrosse, a variety of weight lifting equipment from dumbbells, weight machines, squat racks, bench presses, and also a variety of cardio machines (treadmills, elliptical, bikes, stairmaster)... I even saw a punching bag and some jump ropes around the weightlifting areas! Literally anything you could want, I'm sure you can find here, except maybe an indoor pool. I appreciated how respectful and considerate everyone who comes here was! Even the youngest members of the Y seemed very polite and mindful of themselves, something that always makes a gym experience better. I absolutely love coming here during my visit and will definitely take advantage of the student policies while I'm in school moving forward since it is a good way to access workout equipment while in town. Perfect facility for a variety of workouts/sports in Manlius--makes me wish I lived here!! Would recommend to anyone, sincerely! read more
