Easy access from my home. Plenty of parking. Staff members always helpful. Instructors are very knowledgeable and experienced.
I throughly enjoy each class! Going on two years now and still pleased - all due to an invite from a family member!
The variety of group fitness classes.
Absolutely. SER is the best. The staff is amazing and the programs are both fun and challenging.
Nice facility & great staff!
I enjoyed the class. Kim M. is a fantastic instructor. She is friendly and engaging. Easy to follow.
Takes time to explain difficult moves before starting.
Great location and facility. Nothing not to like.
We love our membership
I love how diverse the clientele of this Y is and how much fun the group fitness classes are — I go to a lot of Zumba and Cardio. The classes are tough but have a relaxed party vibe.
Love the outdoor pool and what you are offering for the community!
We love our YMCA membership. We were very disappointed with our last visit. The front desk was aware that we were using the family showers. They failed to tell us there was no hot water.
Always enjoy the classes and instructors!! Wish there were towels at the front desk. At least small ones…
Everything is very good, I do have a couple of recommendations.
1.On busy nights 5Lb weights as well as benches not available.
2.People exercising and looking over rail in the way near the window and the corner of walking track
3.I like the nice smell when I enter the exercising area.
All employees doing a good job 👏
It’s clean, less crowded and the people are friendly
People are friendly and facilities awesome and always clean! Need a light bulb in the sauna at the downtown Poyner location, that's been forever out!!
The instructors & workouts offered.
The pool is really wonderful! I love that it’s now open all year round so I can teach my kids to swim and they can get practice consistently.
The facility is always clean.
All the natural light; the more intimate feeling because of the smaller size.
Southeast Y feels like a real community. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I have recommended it to other members and non members.
Faculty and people and diversity
The staff are nice and very helpful. The dress out room are clean and there are several activities to select from.
I truly enjoy the trainers. Models of patience and peace. Everyone is friendly and welcoming from the moment you step through the doorway until you leave. Quite a community.
They help and have knowledge of the system
Nice facility, a variety of classes and good equipment. Staff and instructors are friendly and helpful.
Modern facilities and friendly staff
YMCA staff at Southeast are very considered of the diversity of the community! I love that place!
Cleanliness, variety of equipment
My family and I have been going to the Alexander Y for 20+ years. I swim. I started swimming in the summer at SE. I love the huge outdoor pool and that it is enjoyed by kids, the camps and families.
My biggest like is that I don’t see any fat, white, old crackers at SE … whereas Alexander might as well be HQ for that pig Trump and his maga Republicans.

Cozy, fun, and welcoming place to exercise.
Great experience staff members are exceptionally knowledgeable and kind. Really enjoy attending this establishment!

I like the variety of classes. Cardio Dance, Zumba, Belly Dance, and line dancing. I like the good energy the instructors have Lorissa, Byron, Tracie, and Kim. Good Vibes environment. They speak positivity and encouragement to the group.
