The great facilities at Alexander Y, the great and friendly staff, and the wonderful sense of community such a comfortable and welcoming place to be. Well run and full of positive energy.!
Still the best gym in town!
Very friendly staff, variety of machines and hours of operation meet my needs.
Robin is a great instructor, I do enjoy her class all the time and she makes it fun.
I like the gracious, friendly, and historic staff like Earl Jones and Pearl Alexander who have worked at the Y for decades. As well, there are the favorites, Michael Reynolds, Michael, Casada, Vanessa from Wilson Mills, and our faithful volunteer Kate. And don’t forget that character AJ.
The sparkling pool, the white-hot sauna, and the individual bathrooms for the swimming facility are some of our favorites.
I and everybody enjoy and appreciate the complimentary clean towels we get everyday.
Overall, I really like the Alexander Y. The staff are friendly and always happyt o help.
It can be frustrating to have the steamroom and the sauna out of service quite a bit but otherwise quite happy.
excellent, friendly facility...

Variety of classes, friendly staff, excellent instructors, overall pleasant space and convivial atmosphere.
Throughly enjoy aquatic exercise classes offered at this Y. I especially love that they have 7:45 AM aquatic classes. I live in Cary happily make the drive to Alexander for an early AM class.
The YMCA provides a friendly, helpful, positive environment, multiple class experiences, and the ability to go to multiple facilities in far flung locations. I've been a member since 1999, having moved several times, and always moving my membership with me. It's a wonderful place to spend my time.
I love the Y with all my heart and my only issue is the horrible parking problem.
Facilities, teachers, and staff are great.
Staff is very professional and helpful!
The pool and the late hours make working out possible with my schedule!
Staff is nice and helpful
The classes at Alexander are wonderful, I especially love vinyasa yoga on Sunday with Swetha. I think the renovations to the building are excellent.
Parking is still not great, but it is better. I would like to know more about programs/hours teen-centered activities for my child at the Alexander Youth Center. I can't find much on the app.
Alexander is not my favorite location because it isn't as diverse, welcoming and fun as some other locations, such as SEYMCA. I go there after a long day of work, and I'm greeted by some reggae and smiling faces and it puts me in a better mood. I understand that is mostly the community that lives around the Alexander location, but some days I see the only black or brown people are those people that are employed by the YMCA.
All around great YMCA experience--staff, equipment, cleanliness all top notch.
Friendly welcomes from staff upon member check in.
