Classes and the pool
great yoga teachers friendly staff excellent equipment
I love the pool. It's make living in North Raleigh perfect.
Maintenance of the pool stairs needs to improve. During my 30 years using those stairs I know the Y has tried many things, only to fall back into poor condition. I think a better strategy should be created knowing that it deteriorates continually. Like an ongoing program to refresh to stairs simply but continually.
Also, consideration should be made to swap out the lighting to antimicrobial lights like Vyv. They're reasonably priced and work well. Hospitals use them as standard hall lighting. That stairwell is an ideal environment for these kinds of lights. Fairly quickly that could become a much cleaner environment.
Programs and people are great, and it has a real community type of feel...
Clean spaces. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Nice people, great facility!

Our son loves after school. Getting to expel some of the energy after a long school day of sitting and working is really beneficial.
Easy sign ups. Lots of clear communication from staff and coaches

The people who work at the Finley Y are always so friendly. They make my 29 year old son with autism feel very welcome! We have thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor pool being open; it was great to hang out at the outdoor pool on a hot March 7 and April 11!!
