Member Testimonials
Trailblazer Camp at Lake Johnson was spectacular. My kids loved it. I was particularly impressed with the site leaders. She answered my initial call about the camp and was so kind and welcoming, I signed up right after talking to her. The camp did not disappoint. My kids were there all day and loved the field trips and fishing.
Playing Handball!
The equipment is diverse and well-maintained. I love that spin classes are offered at various times of the day with quality instructors. The staff is friendly and responsive.
The facility is top-notch and well-maintained. The staff is incredibly competent and friendly and helpful. I love the diversity of the membership. It feels like a healthy community-centric place to be.
Trainers Mary Holt and Stacy Carver are fabulous.
Livestrong & the nutrition classes really helped me.
I’ve also enjoyed the routine of walking the track with friends.
I love the 45 minute express classes. I think all the YMCA should offer more of them.Everyone is so nice from the checkin people, to the women folding towels to the instructors. I drive 20 minutes to get there though I have a Y 3 minutes from my house.
Modern facility and relaxed atmosphere.
amazing place, amazing people, honestly : D D D
Hours are great. Drop off and pick up was always easy. There was an incident with one of my children and he ended up with a broken finger which I understand can happen but the camp did not call me for over 2 hours and send him to go swimming when his finger was clearly not okay and he wanted me to come get him. Communication needs to improve a little. But overall the camp was great for my kids.
My son really enjoys the activities and the campers. It's a great place for working parents to take their kids while they work.
The entire program is organized very well - Lexi leads all the councilors so well! My daughter loves the themes, water play days, and dress up days. All the councilors are friendly and treat her so kindly. The crafts are great! She has also met friends. thank you!
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.
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!

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!
Great facilities, staff and classes.

I like the ymca for so many reasons! Convenience and friendliness of staff and members is a plus.
