It's clean , the staff and instructors are all amazing and the classes are well thought out and executed and the equipment is all clean and updated and functional and the cost of the membership is so good for the value I am getting as a member. I am so impressed with the YMCA.

I have found the staff at the Poyner YMCA are very friendly and helpful. I really enjoy the teachers that I see regularly, they obviously enjoy what they do and work to make it successful for students.

Great class schedule, free parking right across Wilmington street, low key vibe on machine floor.
Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Workout area was clean and organized. Lockers were clean as well. My favorite location so far.

I love the hot yoga/pilates classes at Poyner! Scott, Maya, and Cody do an awesome job welcoming new yogis, breaking down challenging poses, and making the classes so fun!
Convenience by my office. Friendly staff
It was a great and quiet place in the morning.
Although I did cancel my membership and for some reason, I’m still receiving emails.
I have only been for hot or warm yoga and all of my classes have been fabulous. The facility is great - very clean and well designed and the staff are super friendly.
The yoga classes and space is excellent. The availability of 6am classes is wonderful and works well with my schedule. The cycle studio is great. I wish there were more cycle classes available. Every one that I want to take conflicts with a great yoga class. Great community also! Two thumbs up!
Great Staff. Friendly and clean atmosphere. Nice selection of classes and good selection of gym equipment. Thanks to all!
Great hot and warm yoga/yin classes.
Parking can be an issue. Important for the instructor to use a mic.
Desk staff are very attentive and helpful.
I love the facility and the decor and natural wood material incorporated . The instructors are great . Parking across the street at the garage makes it convenient to visit.
I’d love 9/9:30am strength training classes to be offered that would be great as I like to workout everyday.
Patrick's warm Yin class is a treasure each week!
It's a welcoming environment - from the staff at the check in desk to the instructors and other patrons. I especially love the classes offered and the instructors who make them great!
As a bonus - the locker rooms are always clean and fresh.
I truly enjoy everything about the Poyner Family YMCA!
The friendliness of the team is unmatched — they’re always upbeat, welcoming, and make you feel like you truly belong. Their energy and positivity set the tone the moment you walk in.
The staff is hardworking and responsive; anytime we have a question or request, they address it promptly and with a smile. Darrien, in particular, is such a consistent presence — he clearly knows and values the members and routines, which makes you feel genuinely appreciated.
The only reason I didn’t give a perfect 10 is because I’d love to see a childcare option available here. I understand the current demand may not fully reflect that need, but I’ve spoken with many members from Alexander who would love to try the hot yoga classes but can’t due to childcare limitations. It might be worth sending a survey across the entire Triangle membership to gauge true interest.
If there is interest, perhaps a pilot program could be tested during off-peak weekdays (since Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings are already at full capacity). The studio space near the restrooms could be a great multi-purpose room for this.
Thank you again to the entire Poyner team for creating such a warm, welcoming, and motivating environment. Your hard work truly makes a difference!
