The variety
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
The Alexander YMCA on Hillsborough St Raleigh is always clean. The expended hours are good. The quiet no-sound TVs which do not show the news are good. The no-cell phone rule is good.
I enjoy all of the class options. All have great instructors that give really good workouts. I am particularly a fan of Emily’s classes… very high energy!!!!

Best fitness center in the Triangle. Great equipment, great classes, pool, racquet ball, basketball ,etc. people are great. Locker rooms are great, sauna and steam. Men’s locker room could use some new chairs. Other than that you won’t find a better facility
Great staff. Multi generational clientele. Clean. Yoga and cycling classes.
Please fix the solitaire games on the elliptical machines. The new update has made them unplayable. Please look at the treadmill in the men's locker room as it still has the old version on it.
The classes esp.thrive and the pool.
Great price, staff, and amenities!
Allison S and Matt M are excellent instructors! They provide clear instructions and queuing which I appreciate. The folks on the check in desk are always so positive and kind as well. Love the barre and body pump group classes!
The Y with the largest collection of weight-lifting equipment
I appreciate the constant investment in new equipment and the great staff.
I would like to see you open on holidays. It would be a big improvement if you offered limited hours on holidays. Classes would not be necessary.
Staff are very friendly and helpful. Equipment selection is good. Pool is very clean and there is a broad selection of class options.
The staff is always professional and the gym is always so clean
Wonderful group classes, excellent faculty & very friendly staff!
Always someone with a smile at the front desk to welcome folks!!!
Employees are very courteous, friendly and helpful.
My only complaint and un-satisfaction with the Y, it’s the fact you don’t have cameras by the clothing hanger upstairs, from a nice huggy (coat) was stolen. Then, nit too long ego, my son hang a very unique and expensive coat, it also was stolen . The Y didn’t do anything trying to di at least a search on the video camera in the entrance. My son was very angry.
So, you have bad people coming to the gym to do robbery people’s property.
Other than that, I like the gym overall.
Variety, quality and quantity of classes and programs.
So friendly and inviting. Great classes

The facility is clean and all staff are always friendly, courteous and helpful. The instructors for classes are genuinely interested in helping participants get the most out of class.
