Member Testimonials
I really like the location and open floor plan of the Poyner YMCA. The gym area has all the necessary equipment, it's on the same level as the locker rooms, and the TVs are great just for "background" viewing.
I would also like to suggest assault bikes for fitness as an addition to the fitness equipment. I am recovering from a knee surgery and it would be awesome to have another option for low resistance cardio workouts.
Thank you!
Location, people, and the gym seems very clean and open.
Great instructors, clean facility.
Love this center. Enjoyed the hot yoga classes. The studio is beautiful.
Lots of equipment
Not crowded
Sauna
Staff and facilities.
Beautiful facility. Great classes. Only negative is having to pay for parking during business hours.
Great!
I have enjoyed yoga at times here and as a space to clean up after a downtown run
The location is great.
It is typically not as busy as the one closer to us. I also love the warm/hot yoga classes.
Small space with great equipment in downtown
Community involvement and excellent facility
That was my first hot yoga class. I thought it was very cool (no joke!) The facility was very clean and everyone I encountered was helpful. I would like to ride my bike there next time, though I am not sure about where to lock it up yet. I will definitely go back again.
The two "Pams" at the front desk are friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect for those of us who work downtown. Also-I take a lot of cycling classes at Alexander and Kraft, and the Poyner facility is hands down better than either...shout out to Jeff too, who in his role as an instructor is really engaging while making the 45 minutes totally worth it!
Great staff and location. Clean. Never too busy.
I love the group classes offered as well as all the instructors! They make it so enjoyable to attend.
The facility is also great, along with the cold lavender towels
I like the location because I can walk there. I love the early morning yoga classes! The staff at the front desk are incredibly friendly and welcoming…especially Malcolm!!
Poyner is a fantastic environment with great staff and a great facility. I recommend it to everyone I can.
Clean, nice equipment, and not too crowded. Excellent for getting in a mid day workout then heading back to office
Beautiful facility and it has HOT YOGA!!! :)
I love the hot yoga classes, instructors & front desk staff. Very friendly. My only complaint would be that it can be somewhat challenging to park at times.
Friendly, convenient and uncrowded.
The facilities are gorgeous, especially the women's locker room, towels are clean and fluffy, and I am inspired to use the equipment. I am thrilled there is a hot yoga room which is one of the reasons I joined the YMCA.
friendly staff and very clean well maintained facility - I appreciate the Y returning to downtown Raleigh - to me Poyner is unique in design. location and what it offers. I thoroughly enjoy working out there
Love the hot yoga studio and overall gym itself.
Just wish the yoga classes were fully instructed.
The staff and facility is great.
