Member Testimonials
Location location location...and nice asthetic, sauna, and yoga classes.
New modern feel, great class offerings (hot yoga is awesome!), friendly staff.
The Poyner's workout room has a great mix of free weights, machines, cardio equipment, and open space for mixed workouts. I also like having a weighted sled available, something most gyms don't have.
Everything. This is my first gym membership
The YMCA provides a comfortable, professional, clean gym experience. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Always a weekly highlight!
Location is amazing. Has great equipment. So easy to get in and get out. May have dropped my membership if this location did not exist.
It is a large, clean facility with plenty of available equipment for me to pursue my fitness goals. It is a friendly environment and well spaced out to not feel overly crowded during a session. Also, the membership allows me to visit other Wake County facilities and I even worked out in a facility in New Jersey.
Friendly staff, not too crowded
Friendly staff, nice equipment, not too crowded
All good. However the phone app and website are not easy to navigate. I can log on the website but not on the app. On the website it is impossible to see the schedule because it wants to make me log in and keeps going round in circles. Will seek assistance.
I love the hot yoga room!
The employees here are so kind and take great care of the facility. Thank you so much going the extra mile for me
Great staff and perfect for the downtown atea.
You could expand the hours a bit more
DANA IS THE BEST YOGA TEACHER IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND
The staff is friendly and helpful. The environment is clean and professional. It is more of an adult YMCA than a family one and that is what I like about it. People are there to get fit and healthy.
Friendly, clean, not crowded, has the perfect range and amount of equipment. Every group fitness class so far has been great.
It’s clean and not crowded. Jeff, the cycle instructor is great.
Never was a member of the Y but now I get it!
Great experience for me and my husband.
The classes are fantastic and I have even seen more being added -- just great. On top of all that, the staff is friendly and helpful. Pam is always smiling and we really love seeing her. We LOVE the Y!
Hot and warm yoga.
The instructors for hot and warm yoga are the best!
I absolutely love the YMCA! The Y has been a huge part of my life—it was even my first job. Over the years, being a member here has been such a positive experience, from the welcoming community to the great facilities and programs. It’s not just a gym; it’s a place that’s truly changed my life for the better. The Poyner location, in particular, is so nice—I always feel comfortable and enjoy spending time there. I’m so grateful for what the Y stands for and offers!
Most of all, I love the welcoming atmosphere from the employees and members alike. The front desk staff, fitness instructors, and trainers go out of their way to get to know members and support them in any way possible. Specifically, Annabeth A (group fitness) and Malcolm and Bruce (both front desk) are the people who continuously pour into guests and go out of their way to talk with all people to know them on a deeper level.
Friendly and welcoming!
Never crowded.
Great classes, especially hot yoga.
And, Pam's the best!
The gym is always clean and the staff are friendly
I like that it is so close to my home, that it has the equipment I like to use for my workouts and the staff is awesome.
Big enough to have all the equipment I need for strength training, yet small enough to find it all! Lovely staff. Most members I’ve encountered are respectful and encouraging.
Excellent.
I love the hot/warm yoga there! Teachers are great.
Clean, friendly, hot yoga, a good
location to walk or bike to.
I like that it is not crowded and that it is near my work.
