Member Testimonials
SE Raleigh YMCA is a great place. It is always very clean, and the staff and members are always incredibly friendly and hospitable. it is not crowded, and the equipment is always in great condition, clean and well-organized. I also really like that everyone takes care to wipe down the equipment after they use it... something I have not observed at Alexander. I look forward to my workouts at the SE Raleigh Y.
Great staff, and facility.
I started attending Alexander YMCA for the Aqua Fitness classes. I attend classes every available day unless I have another obligation. I look forward to my workouts as well as the camaraderie of classmates. The staff is also very friendly.
It’s a great Y with clean facility and wide range of workout classes with great instructors. I love the barre and yoga classes. I wish they would move the bars upstairs to the new studio for our barre classes. It would really help my stability. Parking is tight but I do the best I can to find a spot.
I love the staff and lifting in the gym!
I love hearing the children in the summer!

Comfort, familiarity, accessibility, variety of options for exercise, the sauna, some people, the staff, the mission, the children running around, the beautiful lobby, the big windows allowing sunlight in. Bruce Johns

Everything! From the check-in friendly people to all the instructors, to the 45 minute classes to the women who fold the towels and play upbeat music! Best one in the triangle! And I go to 5 different YMCAs....

The Handball Group has played at the Y for over 50 years and some of us still try. My only complaint is that you call the courts racquetball courts but they are for Handball too!

There is a really good variety of classes to take and the expanded weight lifting area is great! The staff is also very friendly.
I'd give it a 9 1/2... as soon as the construction next door is finished and the parking straightened out, it will be a solid 10.
