Member Testimonials
Great group exercise classes and instructors. Julie B listens to feedback and makes changes if needed. Everyone is friendly.
Our YMCA has so many resources and a friendly place to be.
facilities, convenience.
The only thing that sours me on the YMCA is the use of cell phones. They are used as a platform for sending emails and texts. They not only tie up the machines but I have to listen to other peoples business on their calls, business and personal. There is a sign on the wall prohibiting their use. Enforce the rules or take down the sign.
Windows let in daylight and brighten the 2nd floor workout area

Facility/equipment/people
Alexander has Friendly, helpful staff, and a clean, well maintained facility.
We are new to the Raleigh area and this Y has been so welcoming! Everyone is so friendly. The site is extremely clean and well maintained. I do have to wait quite often for weight machines, even during the middle of a week day, which is surprising. Weekends are quite crowded. Overall, we are very pleased with this Y!
The Alexander YMCA is amazing. Great people, great classes and great facilities.
Everyone are always so friendly and the Y sends out notices to inform me of any changes. And I love the workouts
Nice and cheerful atmosphere.

I like the different classes that are available
The Alexander is fun , the staff and the members are nice it’s a great atmosphere to work out and be around others in the community. The Alexander ymca is our home Y, so we feel comfortable & connected to the others there . I love shooting
hoops with my younger son , playing racketball as a family that includes both my sons and working out in the positive environment.
My family and I love the ymca- it’s one of my most favorite places to be in Raleigh . The ymca has helped my family tremendously with the after school programs , SOS days , and sports . I’m so thankful that both my sons are great swimmers and athletes because of the personal development they gained through the YMCA. I’m going to give back to the YMCA in a major way for all that’s was done for my family and I .
Friendly staff and it has a pool, basketball court, and racquetball court

Great Cardio dance class workout
great staff, very nice
only wish was open later/earlier on weekends.
Large open spaces, lots of workout variety, extremely nice staff.
If I could suggest anything, it would be to add another adductor/abductor machine…… or a sign to ask people not to sit on it and check phones.
Really enjoy it except for repeated survey requests

I love that the gym just feels like family. Everywhere you go, you’re greeted with a familiar face. The YMCA members go out of their way to treat their customers not just as customers but as real people. I couldn’t recommend the YMCA enough!!
