I like the friendliness of the Y community. I like the classes that I attended regularly; water aerobics and chair yoga.
Classes and the pool
great yoga teachers friendly staff excellent equipment
I love the pool. It's make living in North Raleigh perfect.
Maintenance of the pool stairs needs to improve. During my 30 years using those stairs I know the Y has tried many things, only to fall back into poor condition. I think a better strategy should be created knowing that it deteriorates continually. Like an ongoing program to refresh to stairs simply but continually.
Also, consideration should be made to swap out the lighting to antimicrobial lights like Vyv. They're reasonably priced and work well. Hospitals use them as standard hall lighting. That stairwell is an ideal environment for these kinds of lights. Fairly quickly that could become a much cleaner environment.
Programs and people are great, and it has a real community type of feel...
Clean spaces. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Nice people, great facility!

Love my classes and instructors!! And the cleanliness is outstanding!!
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.

Excellent THRIVE program
