Member Testimonials
I wish I had joined sooner. Getting to take care of myself while knowing my kids are cared for (and having fun!) is amazing.
My only two comments are 1) that I wish there were just one or two weekday afternoon class options and 2) there’s no functioning hand sanitizer near the kids area or the exit (and kids are notoriously gross so this would be super helpful!).
Also really looking forward to having refreshments in the building and hope there is coffee available.
I'm impressed with the clean and up-to-date facilities. It seems to have something for everyone!
Clean, healthy and perfect environment to workout for peaceful mind and healthy body.
It's close to my home and the staff are very helpful, if you need it.
Clean, welcoming and organized.
It’s ok while they work on the Taylor YMCA.
Clean , friendly and an amazing pool!
The family oriented
NorthWest Y is an exceptional place dedicated to fitness. What's also impressive is how responsive they are to the feedback from their members, especially about the volleyball program.

(not happy with the broken heater in the pool at the moment)
A whole lot. The staff are very nice and helpful. The equipment are in very good shape.
It’s clean, facilities are complete and accessible, class instructors (yoga) are very good, pool is open all year… place is busy and positive.
Great place, Great people - Love going there everyday!
Extremely friendly staff. The facility also addresses broken equipment quickly to ensure patrons get a consistent experience.
I love the classes at Nothwest Cary as well as the steam room and sauna
Joining the YMCA has been one of the best decisions I've made in a while. I love the fitness classes and community! And the childcare is phenomenal. I can take care of my health while knowing my kids are safe and having fun.
The number of machines , the open feel and the fact you have a number of staff on the floor to ensure users of equipment are using it safely. Also the friendly staff a big plus
It’s beautiful. Clean. Well organized. The employees are so helpful and the classes and childcare are wonderful!
Friendliness, gym, seating areas, homeschool hub.
Facility is clean and well maintained. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Great place and clean. The gym can get a bit rough with the banging of weights and no supervision from staff. Many times there are so many kids just messing around not really working out. There should be more restrictions on kids in the work out areas if they aren’t actually working out.
The beautiful sunshine upstairs, plus spin class was fun and my kids want to come back and try to pool.
Like the friendliness of the staff, upkeep of the facility.
Programs offered.
BUT I DO HAVE SOME CRITICISAMS
Northwest Cary location will benefit from a sperate area for 21 and under, its almost impossible to work out there in the evening.
MODEST dress code needs to be enforced; the teenagers know less about such value at this time. It's the YMCA who needs to step in, the same people will value this when they are matured adults. Many men find it hard to join workout classes as they find themselves alone in the middle of a large group pf females. I am not saying about introducing some hard rules...but take a look at these program as they go on. men seem to be kept away...slowly they look for it somewhere else.
Nice facility and great exercise equipment
I feel it a place I can spend my whole day. Staff are very friendly too.

Clean and employees are always smiling and helpful.Lots of programs.
