Member Testimonials
It has been a wonderful experience for my 4 grandchildren. The YCMA offers so much for all ages. Thanks so much for all you do. Ginger Finley
Great staff
Clean and professional staff
The employees are very nice.
Group classes are supportive and give options. I like having a scheduled time because it makes it harder to put it off til later.
Wide range of health and wellness options , w/ very friendly staff. I like the diversity of people—young kids to seniors, students ..
Very friendly and engaging staff. Tons of fitness equipment. Several spaces for guided activities. Aquatics, racquetball, basketball, walking path.
Equipment and staff. Staff and equipment.
The coaches were supportive, the practice and the game times were convenient, the emphasis on good sportsmanship was positive, it is one of the only all female leagues for younger girls.
-Things that kept me from putting a 10-
-Changing the final game time at the last minute to accommodate a Christmas event- if there needed to be a change, it should have been communicated way earlier in the season. We only had 2 girls who could attend the changed time.
- Teams could have used a couple more players- since Finley Y doesn't have all girls basketball at this age and Raleigh Parks and Rec is still doing co-ed for this age, consider doing more active recruitment for the teams- to shoot for at least 6 teams of 7-8 girls, allowing them to have a longer season and to continue to develop the skills they had been working on.
Great refs, great family-fun atmosphere, the kids can just HAVE FUN and feel good about themselves!
I mainly use the upper floor machines and weights. I like that staff almost always greets me at the front desk, that I can walk to the Y, that there’s a good diversity of ages, races, and body types.
People. Friends. Friendliness. Positivity. Variety of activities.

Love the group fitness classes, but....
PLEASE MAKE AT LEAST ONE OF THE BODYPUMP CLASSES AT 7AM A 1-HOUR CLASS.
1-hour is the official format and it's not safe and is a disservice to members who think they are getting an acutal full body workout, when they are not. I haven't worked my shoulders in Bodypump class because the instructor has a shoulder issue and doesn't teach that segment. I have taken the 1-hour format at the Kraft Y and at Ys in other states. It's excellent! Alexander members deserve it!
You could start Mon or Wed at 6:45 am, instead of 7 to get the full hour in and end at the same time. I and other members work and can't do the 1-hour Bodypump offered at 9:30 am. Simply asking you to make the earlier classes 1-hour as well.
Good location and friendly staff and members
Earl Jones, Pearl Alexander, AJ, Anthony (Tony), the sauna, the pool, clean shower walls, hot water are all topnotch assets.
Clean friendly services from the staff
Classes
The classes and teachers are the best!
