Great location, friendly and knowledgeable staff, decent/above average workout equipment. But the best thing is the hot yoga studio. Would suggest more of instructors like Grace, Alaina, Cody.
This Y is always clean, has friendly and inviting people working and working out, and honestly the best part are the cold lavender towels at the end of any hot yoga class. I go just for those honestly!
This is our 'home' gym that is in downtown Raleigh and walking distance from our house. The staff is very friendly and I've known some for over 2 years now. I like the facilities, particularly the machines, and the fact that there is more than enough open space on the floor so that I'm not in anyone's way.
Convenience. Not crowded.
Convenient location, uncrowned facilities, high quality facilities, classes, and sauna quality.
Beautiful, upscale environment, professional and friendly staff, great hot/warm yoga classes.
I look forward to the hot yoga classes with Alaina, Dana, and Grace!
Everything
Everything is perfect, the people, the staff, the classes, and the gym is always clean. Thank you for all you do! Special shoutout to Joy and her amazing staff, they always go above and beyond. You are appreciated!
Love the small, quiet vibe of Poyner...the hot yoga (special shout out to Dana!)
Always clean and never super full.
Just wish they opened at 5:30am!
Great gym - I like the variation in weights (how there are mid weights like 12.5). It's extremely clean. The hot yoga is amazing. Would love to see more times offered for that, the classes are always very full. Would there ever be consideration or ability to do a small summer camp program or children's programs at this Y? That is the one thing this gym is missing for our family and we have to go to alternate locations for those amenities.
Conveniently located for downtown residents, not crowded, staff are friendly and members are generally considerate.
Friendly front desk and group fitness staff, well-maintained facilities, hot yoga class offerings
I love the YMCA I like the members and the staff everybody's so kind and nice and polite I'll give him a big 10 and I do appreciate the YMCA for all the help that they going to help me dow
The staff are personable and helpful. They are knowledgeable and frequently check to make sure all is ok when they bring fresh towels and take away the used ones.
Poyner is a great Y. It's incredibly convenient (I live and work downtown), and is always well maintained. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and there's a great community of early morning exercisers I get to see three times a week.
Great classes, really nice weight room and easy parking!
Everyone that works at Poyner is friendly and knew my name within a week of joining! It is always clean with towels. It is cool inside with great music at the right volume. I love it so much.
Great equipment, friendly staff.
Yin yoga is my very favorite, and Poyner’s instructors are awesome!!
Clean locker room facilities, variety of workout equipment, open-air equipment space with high ceilings, friendly staff
Great Environment
Classes and instructor. Everyone is very nice and welcoming
Downtown convenience! (I walk from work.)
Plus, it almost feels like a boutique gym with it’s never-crowded vibe.
It also still feels new (and clean) even after five years.
The classes and the convience.
I love the hot yoga classes and overall how clean and new everything is. The vibe is great.
Just wished there were free parking options during the day and Sloan would also teach some late afternoon or weekend classes. She’s SO good
