Member Testimonials
The staff is consistently welcoming and very eager to encourage me. The programs offered and classes available are great and meet my needs. Parking on Monday evenings is difficult. I try to avoid Monday nights except there is a good class I really like to attend.
The Alexnder YMCA had very welcoming staff and the swimming experience was awesome!!!
Pool & sauna are great! Friendly staff!
It is the best YMCA in the area. The size of the building, tha number of weights and exercise equipment available make it my choice of local YMCAs.
I love being a Y member - the facilities, classes and instructors are great
The Alexander Family YMCA is a fun and safe place to work on myself and meet others. I always have a good time at the YMCA!
Great staff at the Alexander Y in Raleigh.
Cleanliness, politeness, availability
Ideally I would like more lanes /time for swimming but I understand you have a number of groups / classes occurring so it might be challenging.
Gym time
Friendliness, cleanliness and overall nice facility.
A hot tub/ whirlpool would be nice.
The steam room has been working well.
Who uses the lockers with the round combination locks?
Can I get a personal trainer & if so what is the cost?
I often go to classes with Emily and Dana. I also appreciate the lifeguards at the pool.
Best gym I've ever been to.
friendly staff, easy to reserve courts
I love going to the Y! I always leave feeling better about life and never regret doing a workout. The staff are friendly and encouraging and the environment is overall welcoming and positive. To me the cost is very affordable and I get my money's worth. I would highly recommend a membership!
Yoga classes
Wonderful staff, excellent equipment, and supportive and friendly members.
I love the members and the instructors. It does not feel like a huge gym to me. I grew up with my mom going to the Y so once I was out of college and in a city with a strong Y it was a given that I would join. I have been a member at Alexander for over 20 years.
Friendly, welcoming, love Mary’s Pilates class
I love the atmosphere and all of the kind people who work there! The front desk makes me smile every time I enter the door.
Great staff and very friendly
My entire family can come - and it doesn’t feel like an exclusionary or competitive environment. It’s welcoming of all ages, races, etc.
I am very pleased with the Y - staff is very friendly, I like the variety of machines, the walking circuit, the classes. Well worth the money, as I go 2-3 per week.
Friendly front desk staff, clean workout areas, generally clean locker rooms n
I absolutely loved this gym!! Honestly more than mines, it had the perfect amount of equipment and I didn’t feel stuffed or uncomfortable. It was perfect!
The classes, gym, staff, etc
Facility, staff, options are fantastic
I like the friendly atmosphere and the fact that it’s multi-generational. There is something for everyone. The fitness instructors are all really awesome - Julie B, Cheri, PJ, Jenny J, and First name removed Beth are my favorites! Thank you, thank you. It’s been a blessing to my family for the last 1.5 years we’ve been members.
The people; the convenience; and the first-class facilities
