Great location and staff!
Cleanliness, friendly staff, excellent equipment.
Great choice of Thrive classes. Sign up is easy. People are friendly. Clean locker rooms. Plenty of parking. Beautiful grounds and children’s playground.
1. I live 5 minutes from the YMCA. I'm participating in water aerobics and tai chi.
2. I've met all kinds of interesting people my age. And made new friends.
3. My daughter lives in Bethlehem PA. The YMCA in Bethlehem, Allentown, and Easton are all very small and the facilities are out dated. We're fortunate to have the facility and staff that we have compared to what's available in the Lehigh valley of Pennsylvania.
I LOVE that the outdoor pool remained open for some of the off season. It has helped me relax and enjoy invigorating swims. I enjoy the group fitness classes, have tried a bunch of different ones. They are fun and I always feel better after the class. I value the Y family events as well.
I like the challenges, the pools, sauna, very friendly staff, and membership affordable
I don’t normally write reviews, I’m only doing it because Judy yesterday exceeded expectations, she gives a big plus to the perks that come with being a member.
Love the Y but parking is dreadful on Saturday. Several times I have signed up for a Saturday class driven around the parking lot for more than ten minutes and left.
I appreciate you opening the outdoor pool this month for the limited hours (T, Th, Sat, Sun).
I know it is expensive to keep open and more challenging to find lifeguards when the universities and high schools are still in session.
I also appreciate you keeping as many lanes open for all of us older lap swimmers (during the school days and when there are just a few toddlers in the pool).
Thank you! Your timing was perfect since we are having a very hot week for April:)
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!!

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...
Cairo has enjoyed his time with the aftercare program! They are a very sweet staff and it is a great program to allow students to blow off steam after a day of school.
