Strong sense of Thrive community. Thrive instructors are relatable. Appreciate Thrive activities. The Strength/Flexibility/Balance classes are true life savers and results from regular attendance is amazing. Staff is friendly and willing to help. Glad that you promote inclusion despite our political environment.
I actually haven't used it much! I have to go to either the Alexander Y or the Southeast Raleigh Y to swim laps.
Friendly staff, clean
They have the equipment and programs that I want and more importantly need for my continued health.
Nice people and nice facilities
Easy, convenient, good assortment of equipment and classes. I also like how leadership listens to suggestions and often takes action on them.
Just started coming this week and so far it’s great!
Love the y. Wish it was more affordable for families, but all the services are great.
I love the kindness of the people at camp for my children.
I couldn’t afford camp this year . I applied for a discount but did not receive.
If children have Medicaid, I wish the family could get a larger discount.
Also pay less for activities during the year.
The y offer family days and those are awesome
Everyyhing and particularly the staff !!!
Very clean and nice YMCA
Very happy here. Clean facilities, friendly staff, useful classes.
The facility and staff are very nice and it has good programs. I love the pickleball! I also love that there is a puzzle to work on!
The ability to have daycare be provided so I can get a workout in daily is just amazing. The staff takes care of our baby and she is always happy to stay in play. We love the parents night out as well, that’s absolutely amazing and we always recommend to any of our other friends with kids to join the Y. We always take advantage of the pool and kid area.
The only feedback is wishing the gym area was bigger, but given the square footage it will be hard to do unless there is an expansion
Professional and knowledgeable staff, clean
Friendly and clean facility.
The staff members are great! The 9:00am Water yoga and aerobics are wonderful!!! I don't know what I will do in the winter when the pool closes. You should seriously consider adding an indoor pool. It has my vote! The equipment meets my expectations. As an additional improvement, I would add an abs crunch machine, it would be nice addition to what's already there. The Thrive Exercise sessions are fantastic, Keep it going.
I love the Poole Family YMCA
The staff is friendly and there are several options for excersing.
Wide range of exercise equipment.
The pool is clean, staff are friendly
Weve always loved the summertime pool but the first time we went this year, the pool was very dirty. Full of leaves and dirt and bugs and the pool deck was covered in leaves.
Clean facility, supplies are organized, community events, classes and fitness challenges are planned accordingly and communicated to members. Instructors are awesome and make a point to say hello and get to know you.
I love the ymca but it doesn’t make sense I need to hold a family membership during the winter months when the pool is not open and the kids can’t go
Friendly staff, clean facility.
Very nice and friendly place.

Classes geared for seniors! Especially enjoying the variety of water classes this summer.
