Member Testimonials
Was there ever a coed hot tub either on the indoor pool deck or between the locker rooms?
Back in 1989 I was one of your initial members
Friendly staff, indoor and outdoor pool and the variety of class offerings
Access to facility, excercise classes and equipment
The heated outdoor pool is the only reason I am a member.
Friendly
Staff are nice and will guide you in various areas. The facility is big and nice. The place is super busy but has ample parking.
I can't believe I never did YMCA before, there are so many of them and very close to where I am always located in the moment! Raleigh and Wake Forest. Love how clean they are, and the Staff is very good and helpful.
I lovedthe yoga class that I attended and love that you offer late evening classes.

I love the customer service and convenience for travel to and from my home
For me it is close by and very easy to get to. I am 72 years old and love all the 'Thrive' classes offered and participate in one at least 4 times a week
The staff and the atmosphere!
I love the wide variety and availability of group fitness classes with great instructors. And I absolutely love KidZone. I always feel comfortable leaving my children in the care of the KidZone employees while I take care of myself!

Friendly staff and good group fitness classes. Nice facility and towel service.
The fitness classes offered at the A.E. Finley YMCA are excellent and what truly sets this branch apart from other locations are the incredible instructors and friendly staff. The Finley Y is more than just a gym, it is an opportunity to meet wonderful people and feel like part of the community. I’ve enjoyed being a member for 25 years and greatly appreciate everything Finley has to offer!

Great variety of classes. Facilities and equipment are great. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Generally supportive environment.
The classes and community!
Just took my first swim strokes class last night and I loved it! Leslie is amazing! I have so many joint issues that I thought I'd like to try to learn to swim laps and get off of the treadmill and elliptical for a while. There were 5 of us in the group and Leslie was great about working with everyone! Thank you!
There are a great variety of classes available to members. I love the water aerobics classes. The staff is friendly & helpful.
Excellent facility with friendly and helpful staff. It is also on beautiful grounds that are perfect for a walk.
Clean
Group fitness classes that work for me. Friendship with fellow members. Nice environment.
I love the Y. Great customer service, amenities, class options, hours!
However, some of the class content does not align with the description. Specifically, I went to the Strength: Lean and Cut expecting to use only lower weights, but the teacher used low, medium and high weights. This was also the case for Restore & Core: Core and Stretch--although not as much as the instructor did do a few stretches at the end of the class and there was some mat work in the class.
Would be great to have the class align with the content described.
Clean facility
Friendly staff
Pleasant members
Convenient location
Meets my exercise needs
Affordable
Steam room. I travel 30 minutes away to go to it. There's a Y right around the corner from me but no steam room

Excellent facilities and staff! Your staff at the A.E. Finley are a massive asset to your reputation in the community!
