For me as a mom it is my first time with the experience of taking a summer camp and the truth is my son is happy to get up very early to go and not miss a second of his camp and when I pick him up he is very happy. thank you
Very friendly people!!
My son loves camp! From the counselors, making new friends, and singing the songs from the day. He has really enjoyed his experiences here!
Awesome camp Director, awesome camp counsellors, well organised, friendly, just amazing!
Great organization of different activities for children, excellent cancelers who always care for my son. We are delighted with the YMCA
As a working parent, the hours are better than a lot of camps around here. I’m very thankful for the 6 pm end time. My kids also do so much there during the day that bedtime is way easier. They seem to be happy and making friends and bonding with the counselors too. So far so good!
The counselors work very well with the kids, and they take allergy issues very seriously keeping things safe for kids.
Kids love it. They know all the councilors.
Good long-time friendships and family orientation.
The Y has a congenial atmosphere. It has a variety of a equipment, but I would like someone available to help more with instructions on how to use the equipment properly. I like the fact that it offers a variety of classes.
Staff who work the front desk are super friendly and welcoming. Instructors are talented and are experts in the areas they teach. Special shout out to Romain Marriott who is inclusive and welcoming to everyone who attends her classes. She makes an effort to get to know each person name and welcomes back with kindness each time. When Romain teaches, she walks everyone thru the muscle groups she is targeting and works with individuals on their form for safety and max benefit purposes. She is excellent!
An area that really needs attention is with the elliptical machines. More than half were removed when the cardio floor was "updated" and were not replaced. I tend to do my workouts in the early mornings and more than half the time I'm there all 4 ellipticals are in use preventing me from using the cardio equipment that works best with what my body needs. The current ellipticals are also no longer connected to the TV channels which seems like an easy fix, but has not been addressed. Several members are quite frustrated with the lack of attention in this area so I'm hoping (and others are too) more people are voicing their frustration and additional ellipticals are coming.
It has been great! I highly recommend!
We LOVE our Taylor Family YMCA after school experience at Laurel Park Elementary School. The counselors have been above-and-beyond...not to mention a huge positive influence on our children's lives'. 10/10
Friendly staff, clean facility, enough space in the pool for every activity.
I like there are There are many classes to choose from. However, I don't like that most of the time it's hard to get a place in a class. You have to rush to sign up. It shouldn't need to be be like that since the membership is not cheap. I feel I should be able to take most any class I want without having to rush to sign up in the first 10 min available.
We have had such a positive experience with the after school program. All of the counselors are friendly and communicative. Concerns were openly addressed and handled appropriately. And our daughter had fun and was well cared for.
enjoyed my time at the pool, nice to have shady spots in the water, and cannot wait to come back go down the slide!
Friendly people.
clean and welcoming - something for every one
Just about everything.
Very good service, friendly staff, especially the classes instructor.
And most of all the inclusivety , very positive example to the families & community here in Cary NC.
Highly recomended
The staff we encountered were all so friendly and helpful.
I love the Taylor YMCA, unlike Kraft you have a steam room!
This is a great facility with a wonderful staff. I love the cardio floor but also think the class selection offers something for everyone. My grandchildren love the pool and splash pad.
👍
My daughter loves everything about the Day Camp at the YMCA. I appreciate the communication the camp has about my daughter.
Friendly staff, clean facilities
KidZone, the exercise classes
I like the variety of classes offered, I like the instructors, I like the staff, and I like the location.
My son has loved it! We will certainly do this again next summer. Stacey Byrd especially has been so great. All the counselors are awesome. Many thanks!

I love the Taylor Y--it is my gym "home" of 15+ years, and it offers sich a variety of benefits, like an outdoor run group from Y parking through Bond Park trails, group fitness classes of all types like pilates with Romain (most challenging mat pilates!), toning, Boot Camp, barre and cycling. Not only staff, but members seem thoughtful, wiping down and sharing weight equipment, and they have just updated with more functional fitness equipment, heavier weights. Love the pool for shared lane adult swim, kids summer swim and year-round swim--well managed. The admin also work hard to meet members' needs and front desk staff try to know and greet you by name and appear to love their job and us members. Thank you, Taylor Y!!!
