Member Testimonials
Everyone there is always so friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. The staff is always glad you were there and happy to help you.
My son has such a great time at the after school program. When I pick him up, he's always in the middle of something fun and is reluctant to leave. He has also learned so much at the YMCA, getting exposed to new games and challenges. And I think it's been helpful for him to be exposed to older kids in a social setting. I can see him developing stronger social skills through his participation in the program.
I play pickleball 3 times a week there and have developed a great community of friends.
Friendly staff. Clean & modern facility.
I love the facility- not your standard Y and that is great. It has some character, while offering the latest amenities. Super staff. Often has some available desirable class spots, day before, which many local Ys do not have. The elevated studio with windows is so nice.
I grew up at the YMCA on Hillsborough Street starting in 1968 - a member of the "Y Youth Corps". So many memories there during my childhood including after school activities, monthly Y Dances on Saturday nights, and family nights where my mother and I would "play" together in the pool, "paddle ball" (racketball) and the gym. The Alexander building is new and different now but still provides me with wonderful opportunities to get exercise, social interaction and meeting new friends in the classes I attend. Since rejoining the Y in 2015, with my then 16 year old daughter, I loved attending the Y even more. While my daughter has since left for college and remained living in Europe, when she comes home for visits, we always love coming to the Y for Byron's cardio-dance classes. I attend on my own as much as possible even though I am splitting my retirement time between Raleigh and Louisville, KY due to my grandchildren. While I try to attend a Louisville YMCA, I enjoy it but it's just not the same as the Alexander Y.
My son attends the YMCA After Care Program at Wiley Elementary and I really like it. Maya, Leah, and Caroline are great camp counselors. They are communicative with parents and very kind and approachable with the kids. I am very satisfied with our experience.
JORDAN!!! He is absolutely phenomenal - the kids love him. He disciplines when needed but in the right way. My kids don't want to leave when I pick them up so that basically says it all :-)

Facility and Personnel.
The employees are great
The instructor and facilities! Only thing I'd say is the exercise class rooms are a little confusingly named, and some extra signage would be great
Variety of classes and top tier instructors
Extremely friendly staff, excellent exercise offerings and the facility is always clean and neat.
My husband and I love to swim at the Alexander Y!! The pool is always clean and the staff are so friendly and welcoming! Love the steam room. I've lost some weight and my skin is better than it ever has been
I love the variety in classes and the availability of classes. It is definitely the most affordable option in the Triangle for a spin class or barre class. Any other gym membership would be more expensive, and only give you access to one kind of class. The YMCA lets you experiment at all different skill levels.
YMCA community is exceptionally friendly. The spinning classes are especially good.
There is a variety of classes and extensive facilities.
