Spin Class with Mary Ann is awesome! Very clean and well maintained equipment.
The staff are friendly and create a positive place for my daughter to have some after school fun.
Everything was fine but I have asked at least 3 times to get removed from the Finley newsletter and added to the Kerr newsletter. I have called the main office and emailed with someone at the main office who said they would change it but they haven’t. Surely it shouldn’t be this difficult?
It’s huge. They have tea and coffee
It has Both a sauna and steam room
Great location
Variety of exercise classes offered
Increase amount of exercise machine, weights.
Would like to see more virtual options for yoga etc. Would like pilates machine, equipment.
It is a family friendly place.
Lots of active time available. Have the kids appropriately divided by grade levels. Our son loves the counselors!
Great class selection, but classes are very full and difficult to get into because of limited size and availability.
Great equipment and friendly people
I love the yoga instructors. They are so knowledgeable, providing a balanced workout every time.
It’s close by. Nice employees
I love the A.E. Finley Y! It's a comfortable, pleasant, and welcoming environment where I can work out amongst other people without necessarily engaging in a lot of social interaction. I do, however, feel like I could branch out and make friends there if I wanted to, so kudos to you for garnering such a pleasant environment! It's always clean and organized, too!
It was amazing! I usually attend Poole Y so this was a treat in amenities and the staffs help navigating to the pool.
Friendly people, flexible workout space, family atmosphere
Good clean facilities. Well equipped work out area. Very nice sauna.
I got injured and lightheaded while in the free weights area. The area was clean & plenty of weights were available. The staff & fellow members were so helpful & kind as I got myself together. They waited until my friend arrived to take me home and never made me feel bad or alone as it took time for my lightheadedness to pass.
This location is beautiful & the community is commendable. Thank you for everything!
Locker room was so clean!!!!!!!! Friendly front desk staff member. Pool was great.
Staff welcoming.
Cleanest and order.
Availability for of steam room and events
Great class availability and variety. I'm coming from Wake Forest already but have to allow at least 10 more minutes to find a parking place once I get there. Are all day staff parking in the way out places? Could help a bit.
I love the staff, personal trainers and group classes. Just wish the classes weren’t so crowded and there were more classes available.
I've been a Y member for the last two years. A.E.Finley is not the Y that is closest to my home, but when the pool at the Alexander Y goes down for maintenance, the Finley Y is an excellent option. The Aqua HITT class at 9am is engaging and a great workout. I'm also looking forward to attending the Yin Yoga class you are offering on Monday mornings.
The staff is so friendly, everything is sparkling clean, the equipment is fantastic, free coffee or tea, it’s all around incredible! I play women’s pickup basketball on Fridays mornings, and it’s made my life complete. My 4-year-old son LOVES the kid zone. Highly recommend!
Excellent facilities, excellent equipment, and excellent staff.

friendly outgoing staff. Facilities are well maintained
