Member Testimonials
I love the water aerobics instructors. I love that I have a choice between indoor and outdoor pools. Every time I go to this location, all employees are super nice and friendly and I appreciate that!
As a family, we love the variety of activities that are available to us.
Love the new 7:00 am start time on Saturdays!
I like the indoor and outdoor pool and other classes offered at various times during the day and evening hours. I like some wellness lectures. I enjoy working the jigsaw puzzles but not all of them. I did really like the new coffee machine with decaf option but the last time I was there, it was replaced with a different type of coffee maker that used plastic tops to the brewing packets. I won't be using that machine due to the plastic. I do wish the YMCAs would advocate for United Health Care Insurance provider to again include a YMCA membership in their list of approved gyms for 2026 as they did previously. I would like to see the YMCA work at making recycling and use of sustainable materials a bigger priority. No styrofoam, less plastic, green cleaners used to clean with in the locker rooms etc. I really like the photos of staff on the first floor. Would it be possible to have photos at the outdoor pool of this year's lifeguards?
Friendly staff, clean facility, and good vibe.
Good classes
Classes are fun and a good workout!
The classes. Walking the track. The hellos on arrival.
I have best experience at the Y every day. The staff is very friendly and it feels welcoming every time I come to Y for my work out.
I like that there are people there to help you and First name removed. They are available lots of times and they’ll give you a heads up when they’re not gonna be there and how everybody’s nice at the Y I love it at this Finley YMCA. I really highly recommend it for a recommendation.
I am always happy in Y
It was amazing!
I am a very new member. What I appreciate so far about my membership experience is the variety of activities, and the other members and staff are very friendly.
The outside pool.
Friendliness of everyone. Opportunities to become healthy using the available equipment.
I like how close it is to my house and my mom's nursing home. I like the group classes. It is is always clean and neat. The staff is pretty friendly and helpful.
We’ve had such a great experience with the YMCA lately! My child absolutely loves T-ball — the coaches are encouraging, patient, and make learning the game so much fun. It’s been amazing to watch the kids grow in confidence and teamwork each week. The program is well-organized, and the positive atmosphere makes it something we truly look forward to. Thank you for making this such a great experience for families!
I like it
I like the classes, but would like more meth con and strength classes to choose from earlier in the day
Very friendly and welcoming staff.
The studio is still VERY COLD. It has been over a year.
Very nice and also very clean
Adults only floor and locker rooms. Plenty of workout equipment and classes. Two pools. Steam room and dry sauna.
The mission, the staff, the community, the professional engagement opportunities, the uplift of the Triangle.
We loove that is for a family and everyone its really nuce and always wants to help, plus there is a bunch of activities for everyone
The good quality of instructors is the strong point.
I would like to see all of the machines in the fitness room working at top notch and I would like someone to clean all the dust off them to accommodate people with dust allergies.
Thank you.
They've added new classes, and the Les Mills options online are a great supplement. Everyone is always friendly and supportive. And I think Brenda is the best teacher- does a fantastic job keeping folks motivated - i really feel like i've gotten the most out of my time after a Brenda class :) Also enjoying the different teachers for Pilates on Monday night.
Lots of classes to choose from. Good facility
The staff is fantastic. Love the outdoor pool.
However, I am disappointed that the number of lanes for lap swimming has been reduced from 5 to 4 in the outdoor pool. I realize there may be regulations concerning lane size for the swim team, but it is too bad that on the weekends or in the mornings when typically seniors swim that the lanes could be resized for a few hours. In addition to seniors, professionals in the Triangle who have flexibility in their schedules often dash to the Y just to swim for 30-40 minutes, and they would appreciate this, too. (I used to be one of those before I recently retired, and I observe these sometimes-frustrated younger folks now!)
MANY thanks for all that you do.

I absolutely love the Finley YMCA!!!! The staff is always so supportive, welcoming, helpful and friendly!
