Member Testimonials
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.
Fantastic experience all round!

Welcoming staff and clean facility.
Great experience so far
The facility is the best! The people also.
Amazing gym! Large, clean, and has great equipment.
I loved the workout and the women’s locker room. Great idea to have a little workout area in there.
The sauna is great except the floor boards wiggled so much I feared I might go through them.
I wish you had a coffee machine. I know it’s silly, but that’s how I bribe myself to go to the gym.
Great staff, clean, well equipped facility.
Great people!! Atmosphere was quiet and not crowded.
Lovely team, top notch. I am on the spectrum and wanted to try the gym before buying into a membership, I wasn't sure I would be able to handle the noise. Team later recognized me after I joined and congratulated me on joining and asked if they could help with anything and how my experience was, I asked if she would get commission as I wanted her to get the credit for me joining as she made me feel safe and comfortable touring the gym and asking questions, she said no that they're just glad I'm joining and then told me about volleyball on Thursdays. So far I love it here.
Thanks!
Besides our home gym (Kerr), this is our favorite location. The child care is amazing & the facility is clean & there is tons of equipment. I wish the parking was a bit easier with multiple toddlers, but overall it's a great gym!
The ymca always has great vibes
The front desk staff is so friendly and makes me feel welcome EVERY time. I love how clean the facility is and there are enough machines / weights for everyone.
All surrounding atmosphere with people with things to do with self is great for the y-and people around me nor assign to me…great place Alexander with inventing something to do…
While there have been a few issues—mostly administrative details regarding the start of my membership, I was helped by very positive and supportive staff members who corrected the problem efficiently. Also: Love the layout of the building! And the other members!
Everyone working there is so nice- and it is always very clean
Excellent gym facility hart of the Raleigh city
I actually just have an individual membership. But I enjoy the Alexander and Southeast Raleigh Y pools. The reception staff and the aquatics staff are great.
Staff is friendly and helpful. There's a variety of classes and gym activities. The equipment is in good shape and the facility is clean.
Great group fitness classes with wonderful instructors across the board. Nice variety. Always a good workout. Staff extremely friendly.
One suggestion is to survey around 100 people who take strength classess asking what weights they typically prefer for class. Then based on these findings, purchase enough weights for each studio.
It is very frustrating to get to class on time and find only 3 and 5 pound weights available. Sometimes even after searching another level, 10 pound and 12 pound weights are not available at all. Please buy some more.
Staff is nice and helpful
