Member Testimonials
Facility is in good shape, doesn't get too crowded. Pool is great.
I love how large the gym area is, the array of equipment, and space for free weights. Best Y around!
Good gym, with good equipment/facilities and great staff for a good price.
They care
This is my fave Y! Great location, enough parking (usually), not too hard to get into classes. <3
Friendly people. Good selection of classes.
Good cycle classes. Would love more yoga, especially a 6 or 6:30 weekday class.
I think the staff are absolutely fantastic. Incredible professionalism at all levels.

The facilities, the vibe; what more could one ask for!
over all good no needs less is mor
Positive environment for members and families
This YMCA does such a great job keeping the building clean—everything from the machines to the locker rooms is always in great shape. I’ve always been impressed by how well everything is taken care of.
Every morning when I walk in, I’m greeted by name, and it honestly makes my day. It gives me something to look forward to and sets a positive tone from the moment I arrive.
There are always clean towels available, and you can tell the staff really cares. I genuinely love the community that’s been built here. It feels like more than just a gym, it’s a place where I feel welcome. I have recommended this place to all my friends!!
I love it! I have been coming as a guest while spending time in Raleigh over the last six months, and just officially changed my membership to Raleigh this month. I'm very happy with the Y and the group ex classes and the other members have been so warm and welcoming!

I like...
- the early AM hours.
- outside exercise classes.
- the membership extends to other Triangle locations.
- helpful staff at checkin and throughout the gym.
- the inside track.
- the pool (and an outside pool would be even better, but the Triangle membership makes the SE Raleigh Y available!).
Been a member forever, good outfit
I really enjoy the Thrive classes. They are appropriate for an older crowd and the Thirive instructors at the Alexander Family YMCA are engaging and have a way of making the classes fun!
All of it!
i came to you because I wanted to do more yoga and you had a full selection of these classes. I have been happy with what I found.
Have more classes available than the other ones
Great space, staff is helpful. Classes can be a little full at times but hopefully the check in system will help with that!
Friendly staff, great hours - just a fine place to workout
Good clean safe environment
1. Everyone is always friendly and the front desk greets you.
2. The employees are always willing to help answer your questions.
3. There are reduced rate options for those who may be undergoing very costly health issues and find it hard to spare the extra for a gym membership but could greatly benefit from the environment and working out or those who are financially-challenged at that moment and could use a little extra help.
4. I really like the positive reinforcements posted around the gym, for example, the rules on how to treat others, the competitors prayer, etc. These set positive standards for children and basically everyone to remember.
5. I LOVE that there is a pool, sauna and steam room, especially in Winter when everything hurts!
Everyone is so sweet! They make my daughter feel welcomed and cared for when I’m not around. She is always so excited to go back and play with all her friends.
