Member Testimonials
The staff is friendly and it's "right sized," meaning even when it's crowded, the equipment I want is still accessible.
The staff overall were cheerful and helpful. The facilities at AE Finley that I use most (gym, fitness equipment, lockers, steam room, etc.), I think, are mostly better than other Triangle YMCAs. I truly believe that my membership is definitely worth it.
You have lots of yoga classes
Great:-)

Great facilities, clean, friendly staff and members
Our family has enjoyed the Y very much since 2008. Our only concern is the continual increase in the monthly fee may make it untenable for us. thx.
The existance of 2 racquetball courts.
Love the equipment, the classes and the instructors.
Disappointing though that the big and small class rooms cannot be warmed up sufficiently for yoga. Practicing yoga in a cold room is unpleasant and can cause injuries.
Offer a lot of classes. Clean gym. Nice people on staff and customers as well
Staff is amazing, classes are great!
great equipment, amt of equipment, and usually not too crowded. i like this location over my closer location (nw cary) because although the other location is much bigger, they seem to have less equipment and is always overcrowded.
convenient. decent access to the machines I use. my health insurance pays for my membership.
The gym is very clean. Staff is very friendly. I enjoy the different challenges - they are a great motivator.
Staff,community and awesome group fitness classes!
Friendly people and staff and it has everything I need. However, I don’t like that people don’t put away weights when they’re done with them. Even the staff seems to think it’s ok to leave a 100 pound plate on the leg press, which is difficult for me to get off. Also don’t like free weights in the ab area, causes people to carry dumbbells over my head while lying on a mat.
Clean. Easily accessible. Nice, helpful and professional staff. Many options for workouts.
Convenient location, fantastic instructors, great class offerings
I enjoy the classes, the childcare, the pools, sauna, and the community
The variety of classes and the teachers. Staff are always friendly and welcoming.
The Finley Y feels more like a family than a business. The trainers are able to run a challenging class on a consistent basis. They are also able to provide 1on 1 coaching for individual issues or challenges.
In addition, we appreciate the recognition for specific days as the year moves on. Veteran’s Day is a good example.

I mainly utilize the pool for water exercise. I do wish there were other classes I could manage such as dance or Nia. I am a senior.

Nice gym, friendly staff
