Member Testimonials
Great gym with all the options I am looking for.
I love going to classes there and the cardio floor always has spaces at the treadmills. It's great that you can also go to any other Y too.
I like how the building is set. Clean and organized. Also enjoy taking hot yoga
Love the camaraderie amongst instructors and the hot yoga team. The front desk friendliness, and the overall downtown vibe.
Wow - What a location!
I worked very close many years ago I would've loved to have a YMCA location that close to downtown.
Plus, this location had everything needed to get a solid workout.
The classes are the best - teachers are really good
Best sauna in the entire Triangle. This is the main reason I keep coming back here! Sauna is far superior to all other locations I've seen, both in terms of heat, availability/arrangement of seating, and reliability (i.e. other saunas at other locations tend to be out of order all the time, this one is reliably up and running)
Convenience
I. Its the YMCA
2. Very convenient for me to walk their, 7blocks closer to me than the Alexander YMCA. I d rather walk than drive to the Alexander Y which can be pretty crowded at times.
3. Less crowded than the Alexander Y
I hope in the very near future that there will be classes again such as there were prior to covid!
Hi Hopes for that!
Friendly staff, quiet facilities, locker room (and sauna) are usually empty, heated yoga studio
I enjoy the hot yoga class offerings!
Clean and Friendly.
Friendly instructor, Clean facility, towels, great experience.
I love the YMCA community. I recommend them to anyone
Has all the equipment I typically look for. Friendly staff! Quiet and lowkey
Nice people, clean facilities, most of the equipment and class I would expect. Would like the gym to open at 5 instead of 530 am and offer the cycle classes more days a week, as it's impossible to get into the Wed and it's soo good!
Proximity to my office
Roomy, spaced out workout area. Not cramped, not on top of other members.
Classes, equipment, environment, cleanliness, reliability
Gorgeous facility, Top of the Line Group fitness classes, Hot Yoga Studio is Amazing. Instructors are brilliant. Only downfall is trying to find parking.
People are great! Facilities fit my needs.
I belong to Alexander YMCA and would recommend it to others.
I am long time member of Alexander Y and went to Poyner to check it out.
"Sloan" is a hard-working and very friendly hot yoga pilates teacher and I enjoyed her instructive and challenging class.
Most of all, the man at the front desk, Malcolm, was extremely welcoming and professional. He gave me a tour, offered to meet me and take me to the first yoga class after I had changed in the locker room, caught Sloan in the hall and introduced me to her, and introduced me to Pam, the other very kind and friendly person at the front desk. Pam offered me information about the services and is a good ambassador for the Y.
My primary experience was with Malcolm. Malcom made my experience exceptional. He is a keeper.

Hot yoga at Poynor, dance at Alexander, swimming at Sutheast, all the friendly folks (teachers and ‘students’ alike)
Yoga classes and location
Staff, facility
LOVE the hot yoga studio! Wish there were more classes so I could come daily.
Absolutely love the Poyner Y. I feel like I'm at the spa in your beautiful bathrooms and love coming to workout during my lunch breaks. You all are my favorite spot on Fayetteville St.
Everything! Welcoming check-in staff, clean and quiet workout area, and fabulous warm yin yoga studio and instructors.
Convenient location, always clean, staff are always friendly, and this location has a good variety of classes.
