“I love the YMCA for its aqua fitness and yoga classes. The environment is welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and supportive.”
The staff is friendly and knowledgable; the equipment is well-maintained and up-to-date, and the facility is kept very clean. . . what more could you ask in your local gym?

They offer a creative selection of classes. It is also very clean and bright.
Great facilities, open at 5am weekdays!
Staff members are always welcoming and professional.
The staff is amazing and helpful! Facility is always clean and I thoroughly enjoy the variety of fitness classes that they offer!
Its very conveniant and its located 5 minutes away from my home and my job all the staff workers are very friendly
that I'm able to participate in different activities (classes) and that the YMCA offer some thrive class.
I truly appreciate the warm sense of Community that this YMCA embodies. The culture and diversity woven throughout the Southeast Y is uplifting and inspiring—it’s a unique place where everyone feels represented and has a true sense of belonging.
One area of opportunity I’d suggest is to advertise more. There are so many wonderful programs (for example, Parents Night Out—fingers crossed this can become a monthly or even more frequent event!) and impactful initiatives (like the Black Farmers partnership) that really strengthen both the Y and the broader community. It would be great to see even more promotion so more members can take advantage of all the great things happening here.
Thank you for valuing member feedback and continuing to invest in creating such a welcoming and impactful YMCA experience.
The diversity as well as frequency of classes allows me to get a well rounded diverse workout. As my endurance increases, the frequency of back to back classes allows me to tailor my workouts to my new fitness goals.
The people there are friendly. I currently only swim there, so all of the lifegurads and instructors are very professional and helpful
The facility is really nice and the instructors are great. I come from Cary for the line dance classes! Love Charise and Teresa! Everyone is so nice including the front desk staff and I always have fun when I'm there.
The positive vibe, warmth, and support from staff and members. It is a great community!
Friendly desk staff are always welcoming. Locker rooms and bathroom are always clean. Love the community events and Black Farmers Market. Good variety of classes.
Family Friends and Fun!
The classes and the community!
Great receptionist
I go to the Southeast location for specific exercise classes like Cardio Dance, Zumba, belly dancing, line dancing etc. I have never used any of the machines or pool at that location.
I like that the parking is easier in the evenings than it has been at the Alexander Y.
Selection of equipment and operating hours.
The location is convenient. Great family atmosphere. Good classes.
I love the people and the energy. It’s great to be in a place that values each person.
It’s a very clean facility & Jim Poindexter is an excellent Taichi instructor. I like his system of instruction & classes unlike the Taichi class at Finley. Jim is a very patient instructor & very generous with his time before & after class.

We love the YMCA! Thanks!
I live within biking distance of the NW Cary YMCA and teach there and at another YMCA location. When a student told me about the great step classes at other locations, I expanded my search to the YMCA that I only knew of as passing on my way to Alamo Drafthouse. It was my first time visiting, but the signage was very clear. I had no clue where my class was, but both the front desk attendant and teacher were very helpful in explaining where to go.
The Friday noon hip hop Step class was am absolute adventure and I've never had so much fun while being lost half the time and burning a crazy amount of calories. I've already plotted when I can go again and evangelized both the facility and the classes to fellow Cary YMCA members.
This Friday taught me that the Southeast Raleigh YMCA is worth the drive from even Northwest Cary!
The variety of fitness classes is impressive and the diversity of the staff makes me feel welcomed
Wondering environment for me and my family!
Administration makes an effort to listen and consider ideas from members.
