Great pool for swimming laps, really nice ladies locker room with plenty of showers. Super friendly staff who greeted me on my first visit and promptly took me on a tour. Julie was a great guide!
I love the classes and the instructors! I will begin to lift weights this summer, and I do not like the downstairs room with the machines because they are too tightly spaced for my personal comfort level. So, I plan to get a few sessions with a trainer and do my thing at the bottom of the stairs with the free weights.
I do wish the outdoor pool could be "vacuumed" (is there such a thing?) I feel like there's "sand" or something in there ;

Cons:
For swimmers, the pool can be hard to get open lanes on some days
Sunday mornings doesn’t open until open till 11 whereas others open at 9am
Clean & well maintained facility; large variety & times of class offering; and how to Y interacts and supports the community.
Close enough for me to walk to the gym. But get the men's sauna door fixed so that it has a basic closure mechanism. This is the only sauna I've ever used that didn't have some sort of closure device to keep the door closed. It can't be a safety issue if other saunas globally use one. Please have the will to fix.
Ease of checking in, staff is kind and helpful and always clean
I generally have a wonderful experience at the Kerr YMCA. I would love to have the option of having STEP classes, specifically STEP STEP and Extreme Hip Hop STEP. These classes are popular at AE Finley, Southeast Raleigh, Poole and Alexander YMCA.
Friendly people. Multiple ways to improve your mental and physical health.
Friendliness and personal service of employees.
Great indoor pool and aqua aerobics classses. Excellent instructors.
The way everyone respects each other.
Love the classes, most instructors and staff is very friendly.
My family and I have been Y members for years. My son swam for the Y and I now enjoy the variety of classes—yoga and Pilates. The instructors are excellent and the staff is friendly and professional.
I love the workspace while my child plays with other kids and does crafts and games in the clubhouse. I wish the kid’s pool had more hours available in the weekday afternoons or that we could get more hours of childcare per day too. And I wish we had cocoa for the coffee machines, but it’s a great space and we are very happy with our YMCA membership.
The facility and the staff
I love the swim Aquafit classes and the instructors. Everyone at the front desk are warm and welcoming. I feel a welcome at the Kerr Y and it feels like family.
Classes, instructors, facility, staff and the community contributions!
