Member Testimonials
The best Y and the best team.
No reservations needed to swim! Thank you!
Great hours and programming!
I always feel good when I go to the YMCA. It is a friendly and supportive environment from the front desk staff to instructors. My quality of life is greatly improved by my Y membership. It is reasonably priced and worth every penny!
the Alexander YMCA is always clean & smells clean (the Y on Baileywick always seems to have a faint odor of urine fyi). I like the big sunny windows. I like the policy of asking clients to wipe down their exercise equipment. I like the bikes, as this is one thing I am able to do despite injuries from an accident. I like the friendly front desk staff.
Hi there! I LOVE the Y!
I do wish that there were more 8:30 and 8:45 a.m. class options at the Ys near me (Alexander/Southeast/Poyner). There are some great classes at that time but they are at Poole!
That is the perfect time for my schedule....
Thanks for all that you do!
Friendly, inclusive, clean, wide variety of equipment, classes, and facilities. I love my Y!
The Y staff is wonderful
Hardworking, friendly, and dedicated
I am a cyclist and the spinning classes allow me to keep my legs in shape. The many classes per day and the great instructors offer lots of opportunities. I am particularly fond of Jay Chambers classes. He is a notch above and a terrific motivator plus a really nice guy. Never had one that good. Look forward to staying with you and thank you for being there.
I was a member before Covid. It’s good to be back and see familiar faces after being gone for years! It’s like family. The members vary in age so it’s a nice mix.

Friendly staff. Offers wide variety of equipment. The recently installed new equipment is very appreciated. There’s so much effort to keep things clean, provide towels, and provide motivation and support.

You have great facilities.
Steam room; plentiful up to date equipment; pleasant staff; clean
The people are so friendly and helpful. The location was clean and fellow 'work-outers' were respectful. I went to one class so far and I loved it and will go back to do it again. I liked the class teacher.

Meeting people and what I don’t like is getting denied actives and meeting my shedule do to work
