Clean love the warm & hot yoga classes
Gosh, everyone is SO friendly. I feel like family there.
Big, well-maintained, and lots of room. At many gyms I can never get time on a squat rack or other equipment, but there’s always room here and super grateful for it.
Everyone is very friendly and the gym has everything I need. Classes are also great too!!
Great weight room. Very clean.
I recently found that the Poyner Family YMCA has a dedicated Hot Yoga Studio. I took a class this Tuesday April 22 at 12:00 and the instructor was amazing. I love hot yoga and now that I know that the YMCA in downtown Raleigh has this beautiful studio I am looking forward to take more classes at Poyner even if I have to drive all the way from Clayton, NC.
I also want to try to cycling classes since I also like indoors cycling. The facility is very clean, the bathroom and the showers as well.
I have been a member with the YMCA since I lived in Massachusetts and now that I live in NC I also like it. I would recommend the Y to anyone.
It’s convenient, it’s full service with tons of amenities, the staff is wonderful and there’s a super community of regulars there. One of the best YMCAs I have been a part of!
One of my happy places is definitely Poyner YMCA!!! Always tidy and friendly atmosphere.
Great atmosphere with high ceilings and lots of natural light!
I like that it is close to my work, so I can walk there. It's also rarely crowded so I can use the machines I prefer.
Great yoga teachers and studio--and the kindest, most helpful front desk folks! The cold lavender towels handed out after hot yoga....chef's kiss.
Flexibility in schedule, when the facility extended the gym hours that was huge plus for me.
Good teachers and classes.
Great classes free parking
Welcoming staff, great instructors, hot yoga, and fluffy towels. Always a positive experience there. Appreciate the free 2 hour parking in city deck too.
I love the staff, especially Pam at the front desk. She’s always smiling and laughing and it automatically brings a smile to your face and she says hi to you by name. She’s so sweet! They all are!
Love it
Hot yoga classes are amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
We live close to Poyner making it very convenient. The staff are super friendly and supportive. The wellness floor has a wide range of equipment to do both strength, core and cardio work. I also like the fact that on occasion I can go to other YMCA facilities not just in Wake County but also across the country.
Very convenient. 2 hr free parking.
The hot room is unique. Great classes. The facilities are new and clean. Friendly staff.
The down town location is a destination experience. Instead of at a dead parking lot, you are in the middle of downtown.
Clean and convenient.
The front desk people are very very nice and friendly. Facility is great as well
Very welcoming staff at reception. Clean facility. Wonderful Friday morning yoga class.
The hot yoga sculpt class on Fridays is great. The instructors and yoga studio are fabulous. I would love if the gym stayed open until 6:30pm on Fridays to provide time to shower after this class.
Hot yoga
All the equipment I need for a solid strength training workout. Doesnt get overly crowded. Super friendly and encouraging staff. Always clean
outstanding facility and wonderful staff
Great place with fantastic classes!
Poyner YMCA is a wonderful facility. So modern and clean. I've been a YMCA of the triangle member since moving to Raleigh 11 and the Poyner Y is a great addition to the branches and to downtown.
