Hot yoga
just joined - beautiful space and lots of great classes offered!!
Clean, quiet and interesting classes
The staff were friendly, punctual and helpful.
Location! Location! Location! Kept my membership because of this location. Good cardio equipment.
Great people working there. Great location. Important to be downtown and serving the burgeoning urbanista growth 'curve'. Also, it's a very nice lay-out and conducive to good workouts. I only have one request: please consider upgrading some of the equipment since there are a few cases where they're older than at other YMCAs in the Triangle.
Great Yoga Yin class...very relaxing!
Wish the downstairs bathrooms were working...is there an elevator?
Yoga classes are so wonderful!!!

Friendly, accessible environment
Great classes, wonderful teavhers
I love the friendly staff. Even though I love kids, I love that there’s a place that I can go, but there’s not any! Lol I love, love, love, the hot yoga, and the instructors that put their heart and soul. I love having flexibility to also work in between appointments when needed in the conference room when it’s not being needed
The facility is well laid out super clean and the staff is very friendly.
Great location, very nice facility, and lovely locker-room/bathroom. I love that after a workout I feel like I’m going to a little spa! Also all of the staff are always warm and helpful!
The staff, location, services...are all top notch. Having the YMCA so close to my home downtown has absolutely elevated my physical health. The staff is phenomenal, professional and super willing to help. It's such an asset to the downtown neighborhood.

Friendly, professional service
The warm yin yoga classes are wonderful. The entire facility is appealing: friendly staff, great set-up, really, really nice sauna and locker room.
Convenient to where I live and downtown Raleigh. Great staff.
Clean and we'll maintained facility...and the sauna is always working! Would be nice if there were heavier kettlebells (60lb, 70lb) and bumper plate weights for CrossFit style workouts...but other than that, no complaints.
Location and convenience and friendly staff.

Sophisticated and clean
Group fitness classes and friendly staff

The facility is very clean and the equipment always in working order ... and the Poyner Family YMCA staff are always friendly and welcoming. This YMCA is also just a few blocks away from where I live and work! 10/10 ... highly recommend.
