Member Testimonials
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.
Everyone is friendly and the classes are challenging.
Clean and friendly.

great service and very full of options inside; Ron Last name removed
We were greeted warmly by everyone on staff; received a comprehensive tour, and were treated very well during the membership signup. We are so fortunate to have a facility like the A. E. Finley YMCA available to us.
They make it fun for the kiddos - encouraging physical activity and giving prizes to motivate them. We are grateful for Alex, Alex, Laura and Hannah!
Friendly and courteous staff
Employees and volunteers are always friendly and helpful. I like that people say hello in the workout areas and hallways. The instructors are excellent, and the classes are high quality. I am seeing results and learning a lot by participating in the group fitness offerings. I especially love Marianne's classes. She's a wonderful instructor and prioritizes technique with a great attitude. I also love Mary Kay's yoga class. It's always a beautiful balance of challenge and mind body reset.
Variety of services and activities.
Wonderful experience overall!
Everyone is friendly and helpful. The facility is clean and there is lots to do!

It is a family friendly place.
