Member Testimonials
Everyone working there is so nice- and it is always very clean
Excellent gym facility hart of the Raleigh city
I actually just have an individual membership. But I enjoy the Alexander and Southeast Raleigh Y pools. The reception staff and the aquatics staff are great.
Staff is friendly and helpful. There's a variety of classes and gym activities. The equipment is in good shape and the facility is clean.
Great group fitness classes with wonderful instructors across the board. Nice variety. Always a good workout. Staff extremely friendly.
One suggestion is to survey around 100 people who take strength classess asking what weights they typically prefer for class. Then based on these findings, purchase enough weights for each studio.
It is very frustrating to get to class on time and find only 3 and 5 pound weights available. Sometimes even after searching another level, 10 pound and 12 pound weights are not available at all. Please buy some more.
Love the classes and instructors and pool

i would recommend maintenance on the lockers b/c i've been locked out several times, as well as witnessed others asking for key to get theirs unlocked.

I love this place! The staff is ALWAYS kind and up beat.
I just love Byron's dance class so much. It has been my favorite routine for over 10 years. He is just amazing, inspiring, a big bright spot in every interaction. I also love Julie R's deep knowledge of yoga! She is so helpful by providing adjustments as I am pregnant. I also want to say Alison S has such a wonderful vibe and flow for Yoga. I can't do the hot classes at Poyner now but I just love her so much.
Lastly, I want to put a plug in for Body Balance- it is only at SouthEast right now but I wish so badly there could be a 9:30am or noon option. It is so wonderful!!!
Lots of options for classes, friendly employees, plenty of exercise equipment.
Clean, modern, nice gym. First visit to this YMCA as I joined at another branch. Attended a class, Ripped and Strong, which I will register for again as I enjoyed it so much.
New workout equipment/layout is great!!
Everything is so clean
Towel availability
Tony is wonderful
Everyone at front desk is so cheerful, friendly
The staff is so friendly and helpful and the facility is nice and clean!
Mari in particular was wonderful!
I like that they keep the facilities clean; however the downtime of the steam is disappointing
I like the new yoga room. Also the substitute teacher was great and the time of the class is good for me. I am retired but not an early bird so many of your classes do not work for me. I joined Alexander Y in 1989 when I was working downtown. I find that as I have aged most of your programming is focused on younger members so doesn't work for me. I still think you have the best pool and weight floor but I have to rotate among three branches to get my yoga needs met.
Enjoyed the experience. Staff and environments is respectful.
Friendly staff, nice options for various types of workouts.
Kind people, clean facility

New to the Alexander YMCA but have gone to AE Finley for years, I am so excited to explore the range of classes and the staff has been amazing so far!
I love that I’m able to visit multiple locations throughout the Triangle!
Hours and people
I love the YMCA for the Thrive exercise classes and friendly staff. The Y is always clean and has an efficient check in process. The teachers are friendly and skilled, providing modifications as needed. The locker room is large and spacious. The upstairs weight room has multiple machines, bikes, treadmills and two areas to stretch. I like the mini lockers in the upstairs area to conveniently store my purse. I am a fan of the recumbent bikes and will watch HGTV shows while I pedal. There are plenty of sanitary hand wipes available throughout the Y to wipe down equipment. They also provide towels at the front desk. The indoor pool is a big advantage. I love to swim laps in their pristine pool. It’s always a pleasure to visit Alexander Y!
While there have been a few issues—mostly administrative details regarding the start of my membership, I was helped by very positive and supportive staff members who corrected the problem efficiently. Also: Love the layout of the building! And the other members!
