Member Testimonials
I appreciate the excellent instructors, the facilities, and the friendship among the members.
Class offerings, instructors, overall facility!
You have an awesome team that keeps the place humming and that makes it feel like a family environment. It is also wonderful to see the leaders step forward to do things like cover the desk, fold towels, and other tasks like that, because it shows that these leaders do not see themselves as superior or better than their teammates, and this creates a great sense of loyalty within the team. Thank you for what you also do to keep the place so clean and sanitized to help minimize the spread of germs. You run a tight ship, and I am happy to be a member.
I love all the Pilates classes. I would love to have a later one on Mondays- lunch time or early evening? A Sunday class would be great too! The classes are popular!
The staff is welcoming and helpful, there is an excellent variety of classes and activities, the facilities are beautiful and well-maintained, and I enjoy the fellowship with the other members. Being relatively new to Raleigh, it's become my "happy place!"
Location, great sportsmanship, availability of sports, season timing and length, affordability
This YMCA is a community!! I see and have made many new friends there. The staff is outstanding! It’s clean and well-maintained. There’s no where else I would rather go to workout.
My initial experience with the Finley YMCA was as a member of a LiveStrong group, led by Lisa Strong. This was such a supportive, learning. and helpful experience. I have been a member of the YMCA almost everywhere I have lived, yet so many of them do not offer LiveStrong.
I have since taken other classes at the Finley location, and again, Moving and Better Balance led by Lisa Strong is just great! I have also had steady training sessions with Lisa Strong on the pool as I went through a leukemia treatment that compromised my immune system and pre- vented me from taking group classes.
I know that the other members of myLiveStrong group have been so enthusiastic about the YMCA sponsoring this unique cancer support group. I believe it needs to be better advertised in whatever social media locations and centers where cancer survivors can learn of its existence!!!
Coach George Jeffrey is terrific; best coach in the program!
Christian foundation, feels family friendly, clean facilities, towel service, friendly staff!
Instructors and the nembers
Everything about The Y
THRIVE classes
I like the Finley YMCA very much but there are a few things that really are becoming a problem for me and my family. First of all the group fitness is great, but there are not enough classes. If i want to sigh up, almost always there is 0 spots left. My schedule is different each week so I cannot plan ahead. Some courses are always offered at, say 11:00. Always full. Perhaps also schedule another at say 3 :00. I would love to do Tai CHi, Zumba,pilates but they are always full. Why can't they add more classes?I know about the 46 hr rule, but that doesn't matter if the demand is so high.
Well-equipped facility, variety of classes, and friendly staff.
