Member Testimonials
I love Maya, Patrick and Scott!
I'd really like there to be an early 0605 or 610 weightlifting class in the mornings at poyner.
Thank you!!
The warm yoga room was spacious and amazing.
The spin room was set up
So you could see the instructor, motivational.
The staff was wonderful and gracious.
Great class options for lunch group-workouts.
Everything!!
I love Poyner Y and enjoy working with my trainer Darrian.
Great facility and staff!
I like the convenient location
So clean and super staff!
Location, staff, that you’ve introduced a yoga class that is not heated. One thing I recommend is to add another thick stretching mat back by the free weights so that there are three of them as there’s ample space for that and often times both are taken.
The classes and hot yoga studio are excellent. Parking and safety are the only primary concerns. Are there plans to address this? Thanks!
Very nice and clean place. Has all the classes and workout equipment that I need.
Good
I graded you down a point this time because we aren't happy with the way Pam was treated. We don't know your side of the story, but what we're hearing sounds very unprofessional on the part of the YMCA.
Staff was helpful and courteous, the whole facility is really clean and the sauna runs hotter than the others.
Affordable price (with financial assistance), convenient downtown location, very friendly helpful staff, and inclusive environment. While initially scared and intimated by going to the gym, I've found it's become a reliable source of joy and motivation during my week. This come from: being able to walk there after work, signs that say "all are welcome," staff who greet me by name, gender-nuetral accessible bathrooms, community boards about local diverse cultural events, overall lack of judgement about abilities or body types, and watching other members build friendships and support. I feel my life has truly changed for the better by joining the Y!
Anna Beth is amazing! This was my first class with her as the instructor and I loved how she switched things up! I was taking a summer break and am sore
Front desk staff (and all staff) are really pleasant; gym is always very clean; love the variety of classes, esp hot yoga room.
Good location, friendly staff and a well layed out space. Equipment functions well.
Staff is super friendly! The gym is clean!
Early morning staff are awesome. They make sure the towels are ready to do for the morning crowd. Also, very friendly and responsive when equipment or cleanliness problems are identified
Variety of equipment and convenience
It's never too crowded, always clean, with a great staff. It's almost like a boutique gym in its look and feel. Also, hot yoga isn't something you find at my Y's. ...and if you can't find street parking (which is rarely an actual problem) there's a free parking deck across the street!

Good teachers. Love warm yoga! Front staff are very welcoming.
I enjoy the yoga classes and it's nice to have a location that is convenient to walk to.
The Poyner YYMCA is the heartbeat of downtown Raleigh. Thank you, especially for the lunchtime classes that allow so many of us to keep up with our fitness routines. There is truly something here for everyone. And I love the very warm positive and welcoming staff.
Poyner has a good variety of classes. The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming.
Easy to schedule classes, lots of options, good value.
I like the friendly staff and the hot classes. I wish there were better bike racks. There is only space for two bikes at a time now, so if the bike rack is full I have to leave without being able to go to the gym.
