Member Testimonials
The staff is really wonderful, and cardio equipment is really good. Locker rooms are nice as well. Only down side is some of the weights are kind of old though and could be updated.
The gym is always clean! Great equipment!
I’d like to see more group class options.
Everybody is helpful
One woman at the desk was really nice. She helped me know where to go and what I can do.
Staff is friendly and learns your name. Hot yoga study with the cool sweet smelling towel is incredible!
Great, clean facilities. Friendly staff. Yoga classes are at convenient times. Overall I am very satisfied with my YMCA membership at Poyner.

Staff is amazing, from front desk to fitness instructors!
I love the staff and intimacy of this location.
Love the gym and the people but we need more of a variety of classes at after work and wkend times! Yoga and power sculpt are amazing but we need more strength and cycle!
Outstanding staff
Modern, great classes, accessible by foot in downtown Raleigh.
It’s never crowded when I come in and the facilities are nice and clean! And the staff is so sweet. I love the empty studios when no one is there :)
I just started my health journey after working from home since COVID and not being social. I have been to two phenomenal yoga classes at the Poyner YMCA and I can feel myself getting better and more motivated to be social.
Staff is friendly and helpful.
Poyner is very convenient for people working and living downtown. I go to both the Alexander and Poyner Y's. I work downtown and Poyner is a great option for working out over lunch. Also, the people at the front desk at Poyner are very friendly and welcoming!

I was at Poyner this weekend because my Alexander class was moved there do to floor refinishing, so it was my first time at Poyner. It was lovely from check in to exit. People were kind and helped me find what I needed.
I was very surprised and delighted to find out Poyner Y at the heart of downtown Raleigh, right on Fayetteville street. And the great treat is the hot yoga room. I definitely will try to utilize it with my membership as much as I can.
The hot classes are AMAZING. I drive 20+ minutes to go to them!
I like the friendly staff, the clean and new facility and the great offerings of yoga and Pilates classes.
