Member Testimonials
Love the YMCA! Have been gone for the past month but I love my experience here.
I appreciate the Y and all the amenities it offers. My only concern is the parking situation - particularly after 5PM early in the week. Instead of using the remote lot when the nearby lots fill up, people are parking in unmarked spots - along curbs and on medians - resulting in safety hazards. I've seen several near misses involving both pedestrians and vehicles that were caused limited visibility or blocked sidewalk access from cars in unmarked spots.
I love it. The Alexander Y is a tremendous facility and the deal cannot be beat.
A place to unwind.

Kindness of staff
Everything
I love the classes I take at the Y...Stacey's step, Jenn's gentle yoga, Emily's cardio step, Matt's strength train together. HOWEVER, a bad taste was left in my mouth by Julie Bradshaw cancelling Friday morning PiYo without replacing it with anything else and offering zero apology for doing it.
clean facility, variety of group exercise classes, positive friendly staff
I love the options of the YMCA and the affordability of it! The variety of classes plus different workout areas is is really useful.
I'm always impressed by how friendly and helpful all the staff is. The member are also genuiinely friendly. The types of classes and other events cover different needs. The pool is very clean and accommodates lots of different people.
Facilities are top notch.
However - one criticism. The folks doing the heavy weightlifting often drop the weights instead of lowering them. As an engineer, I know this will eventually cause problems with the reinforcement of the concrete floor. I see Y staff walking around, coaching, monitoring wipes & towels, and wiping equipment all the time - they see & hear this themselves, but never act to ask the user to follow the "do not drop weights" sign. I have. The staff should be concerned about the infrastructure of the facility.
I like the professionalism and friendliness of instructors and staff. The facilities are spacious and bright. The equipment is in excellent condition. The other members are friendly and helpful.
Everything….personnel, facility….location…
I like that you offer racquetball courts.
Of course we also love the classes.
Clean.professional staff
Simply put, its a great facility. Clean locker rooms and bathrooms, a good variety of equipment, and helpful staff. Have not taken advantage of classes yet, but intend to do so in the future.
Also, very much appreciate the no filming policy.
It’s a very welcoming ymca.
Facilities are always clean, employees are always welcoming, respectful and nice. I enjoy myself every time I go. I make new friends whenever I go to workout. I have plenty of space to clean up and get ready for work in the locker rooms. I personally love the steam and sauna rooms.
Many choices of activities and very friendly people!
The cardio equipment is always in good working order and staff is available to assist when needed. Thank you
Wonderful Place.
Best People and facility.
I am only familiar with the indoor pool exercise class. I love it. Amy and Lisa are terrific instructors.
Pleasant and helpful staff
I love the YMCA and have been coming since I was a child! The staff is always very friendly and the facilities are always kept up so well.
My only request is to re-post the signs in the Men's Locker Room that prohibit cell phones there. Since the signs came down, more people have been using the phones to film which is not okay in there. Thanks!
Excellent classes, good kid zone hours, steam room.
I heard the Tues/ Thurs 6AM yoga classes are being cancelled. I think this is a mistake. The Thursday class is amazing, pretty full every week, and has the same crowd from week to week.
The Tues class is not, but this is not for lack of demand. There is a waitlist for the early Tuesday yoga class at Poyner. I think the issue is that the style of class offered Tuesday is not a good match for what people want. Too slow, instructor is very nice but not particularly relaxing. The class just isn’t great. A better move would be to try with a different instructor on Tuesdays and I bet you would get a more consistent crowd.
Friendly people, clean facility, great workout classes! You get so much bang for your buck!
