A place for everyone like I always remembered An American Legacy healthy environment
Great variety of classes to pick from. Very knowledgeable and fun instructors.
I like the structure and variety of activities that my son can participate in. Drop off/Pick up are very smooth and the staff take time to speak with me if there are concerns, or just to say he had a great day.
Able to use different facilities, clean, friendly staff, great variety of classes
The classes are just as described. Every instructor i have had has been amazing. Lots if classes to choose from.
So far I like it but I've only been a member for 2 days so it would be better to ask me after I have more experience. My first impression is wonderful, the quality and number of classes and facility and everybody on the staff has been super friendly. Even the members are super friendly. So far so good!
I have met some great friends at the Y over the past 25 years!! Even my spouse!! We ran together and worked out together for a few months - then fell in love. Great experiences there!!
Friendly staff! Exceptional instructors. Clean facility. Something for all ages! Who could ask for more????
I love that the Y is a place my whole family can enjoy. I really like the classes and ability to swim laps. The staff is always friendly and helpful.
The Alexander YMCA is a great place. I have been a YMCA member at downtown YMCA's in three cities, all much larger than Raleigh. Alexander YMCA staff, facilities, programs, classes and equipment are excellent, often times surpassing these larger peer YMCA's.
I like the people!
Community based environment, lots of amenities, health and wellness/fitness for everyone at all stages of life
Very helpful, friendly, and good trainers.
Friendly, clean and close to my house.
This has been a great experience for my child. He has enjoyed the counselors and the other kids. I truly appreciate the open communication. My child had a few negative interactions with another student and when I voiced concerns, they were taken seriously. The issues were addressed and there have not been any other issues.
Great facility and staff!
Friendly staff and members, great equipment and good hours of operation.
Excellent programs
Easy to get in and out quickly if you choose the right time of day.
The Thrive classes have excellent instructors who understand the needs and limitations of their audience.
Everyone is super helpful and friendly!!
I like the variety of pin select weight equipment. I like that the track is separate from the weight area. Everything feels spread out well so there's some level of privacy. Staff is friendly.
friendly staff
lots of classes
plenty to do
Plenty of exercise options. ( Cardio, weights, racquetball, swimming, varios classes)
There is so much at Alexander for everyone, from family based activities to fitness and wellness support. I can't imagine anyone not being able to connect in some way with all of the things Alexander Y has to offer.
Towel service and the steam room (when it works).
i love the yoga classes on Sunday. Alison & Shwetha are always happy to help with questions before & after class!
It feels like home.
Great facilities. The front desk staff is also very friendly. I also really like Mary’s Pilates class on Tuesday mornings.
I do have a request, however. Please put a mirror on the mirrorless wall in the room where Mary has her core and restore Pilates classes. It would make a big difference.
Thanks!

Folks are friendly and helpful
