Equipment
Social
Great class and good instructor for Gentle Yoga. A good supply of equipment available. How often are blankets washed?
The staff, the variety of activities, the cleanliness, and nowadays the parking.
The people that keep Poyner running are absolutely top notch all around. I cannot say enough positive things about the staff. What started as a convenient location, has become my daily ritual.
Our instructor Stacey Ainbinder Murray is the best. She is always prepared for class, cares for all the students and truly enjoys what she does. She is the main reason I continue to be a member at The Y.
Good assortment of equipment
The staff is very friendly and helpful and the class offerings are great.
Group fitness courses
Our instructors are amazing. The kids love going every day and participating in planned activities and free play with their friends. They have cultivated deeper friendships with classmates this way. The annual winter showcase lets them put on a talent show and it's a great learning and performing opportunity for the kids.

My son Matt and I are always greeted in a warm and friendly way by Bruce and Malcolm---AKA "The A- Team":) They are wonderful ambassadors for the Alexander YMCA! They engage you in conversation without fail and make the extra effort to get to know each member. They are also very helpful with any questions you may have or to assist you in every way. Also, Ms. Pearle is so sweet and always has her Bible verses ready,
Great value and great community. One request...
PLEASE get more 15lb dumbells for the studio classes - especially Stacy's Wednesday 9:30 am class. It's a testament to what a great instructor she is that the class is always full and that her students are challenging themselves with heavier weights! Please provide more so we can get even stronger!

Easy to join. Relatively affordable. Lots of class options. But mostly the positive vibes that you feel throughout the place and the genuine focus on well-being.
