Member Testimonials
Good classes, clean locker room, lots of squat stations. The location is also very close to my work.
The selection of equipment, the natural light from the windows, the social aspect...
Staff was very kind at the desk, the facilities are new and clean, the location is central to downtown allowing a quick workout between work meetings, I usually go to the Finley Y, but this is another great option. Love the Y!
Hot yoga
I like the evening crew. They are all smiles and they keep a happy and welcoming environment.
It is clean, usually not very crowded.
I normally go at 6:00 AM or 6 PM. A good way to start the day or to finish my evening.
It is very relaxing, and people are respectful.
I would not choose any other gym.

The staff are always so incredibly positive and welcoming. The variety of workout rooms and classes are great. Equipment is plentiful and well maintained. It is always clean and fresh. Thank you!!
Today was my first time working out in a traditional gym setting. When I walked in and scanned my membership card, I hesitantly approached the front desk to explain I was new, both to the location and general guidelines about gyms, and needed guidance. To my surprise, the employee (Kathleen) gave me immediate reassurance and stopped what she was doing to give me a quick tour. She was super nice, encouraging, and supportive. She shared about the gym layout, types of classes, locker rooms and other amenities, and even personal advice/tips since I was very anxious. Her kindness made me feel welcomed beyond words... I entered scared and nervous; I left feeling more comfortable and confident, both mentally and physically. Her taking those few minutes to help me may have literally changed my life. I want to keep coming back and expand my fitness journey directly because of great staff like Kathleen and the incredibly inclusive environment of the Poyner YMCA!
Fabulous group fitness instructors and staff!
It’s close to my job!
The bathrooms are fantastic!
Staff are fantastic. Gym is clean, plenty of towels, equipment is in good shape and they take inputs when something needs to be corrected like the slow drain at the water fountain, etc.
Thank you.
convenience, walkability, staff
Everything! This gym is always clean, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the trainers are amazing. The hot yoga studio is my favorite but the cycling classes are a close second. I cannot recommend this gym and the YMCA in general enough.
Love the classes, instructors and facility

Great to be apart of this.
Friendly people and staff!
Class schedule is on point!
Great instructors!
Initially, I joined because of the convenience of being downtown and in close walking distance. Since getting to know a number of people, I’ve found it’s a nice environment to meet and get to know other downtown neighbors I never would have met otherwise.
Love this Y! So new and clean.
My swipe in was "cheating" 😂. I was working the Freedom Ride Rescue booth at Cuefest and needed somewhere to escape the heat and fill my water bottle. Thank you for letting me use my membership in a variety of ways!
We like the convenience of the Moore Square parking, the friendly staff, the excellent locker rooms, the open doors on empty workout rooms where we can stretch, and the equipment.
The classes, instructors and other participants in the classes.
The yoga instructors, Jeff and Erin in cycling. They're all great. The great relationships that develop among those who regularly attend the classes. Great people at Poyner.
Good variety of equipment available on the fitness floor from resistance training to cardio. Rarely need to wait for equipment. Also, a good selection of classes including the hot yoga and cycle classes.
The staff is super friendly and keep the facility in good shape.
This location is the perfect yoga location. Friendly staff and excellent instructors. Only drawback is parking but since we live near downtown it is walkable. Not a fan of the parking ramp after dark. It would be great to have an employee available to walk people to the ramp after dark especially when a class ends.
