This is my favorite Y in the Raleigh area. The pool and sauna are fantastic and all of the facilities are so clean. The staff is super friendly and a variety of interesting classes are held here.

We love the barre class that Stephanie leads. We also like to come in and do the treadmill once a week. We love the way it just feels like such a great community and we’re proud to be a part of it.
Close to home, clean, friendly and heated outdoor pool! :)
Good Thrive classes - but more classes are needed.
The people and all that is offered. It’s also reasonably priced.
Everything! Classes, sauna, price point. It’s always very clean and stay is super friendly. I LOVE THE YMCA
I really enjoy being a member at A.E. Finley YMCA. The staff is always welcoming, friendly, and ready with a smile it makes such a difference! The other members are kind and respectful, which creates a positive and supportive atmosphere. It truly feels like an extension of my home. I’m grateful to be part of this community!
I enjoy using your facility. The staff is great. I have only tried one class, which was fun (had to quit due to illness). Only real downside is lack of an indoor pool. Also, I used the Y in North Raleigh recently and noticed that they had signs not to linger on the workout equipment. That might be good in Garner, too. It's frustrating watching someone sit at a machine, staring at their phone for 10 minutes, when it's the last thing I need to do to complete a workout. Happens too frequently.
Great locker room
The friendly helpful staff, and the classes offered are good especially the Thrive classes.
choices of classes available
Friendly staff
Outdoor pool
Friendly staff. Positive atmosphere.
I especially like the variety of classes and the instructors. All the staff are wonderful.
Everyone is so welcoming and friendly.
I do wish the stairway from the downstairs locker room would get some attention. I know that it's a difficult area to keep looking good, but right now it's a mess.
Thank you for all you do.

Community
Staff
The staff members are friendly, supportive and helpful. I like the variety of the machines, pool options, classes and the sauna. It gets too crowded at certain times so I've resorted to doing more of my sessions at home or altering my schedule to make the best use of my time and training. Thanks for asking.
Great people! Great teachers! Great facility!
Very clean, friendly staff. Love the programs for all family members.
I wish the website worked better for signing up for programs. I have experienced a lot of hiccups using it.
Well organized. Easy app. Friendly staff.
I feel like I'm with friends when I'm at the Y.
Ms. Emma at the front desk makes coming in the early morning easier, she is so friendly and welcoming.

The community and group fitness class instructors are the best ever. Not to mention the coffee.😁
