Member Testimonials
I love the staff, personal trainers and group classes. Just wish the classes weren’t so crowded and there were more classes available.
I've been a Y member for the last two years. A.E.Finley is not the Y that is closest to my home, but when the pool at the Alexander Y goes down for maintenance, the Finley Y is an excellent option. The Aqua HITT class at 9am is engaging and a great workout. I'm also looking forward to attending the Yin Yoga class you are offering on Monday mornings.
The staff is so friendly, everything is sparkling clean, the equipment is fantastic, free coffee or tea, it’s all around incredible! I play women’s pickup basketball on Fridays mornings, and it’s made my life complete. My 4-year-old son LOVES the kid zone. Highly recommend!
Excellent facilities, excellent equipment, and excellent staff.
Everyone is friendly and the classes are challenging.
Clean and friendly.
I love the A. E. Finley Y! I do mostly group ftness classes and I love them. The insrutors are wonderful - so knowledgeable and kind while always pushing you, with patience, to strive to be your best self. I appreciate this so much. I am more fit now than I have ever been in my life. Thank you!
great service and very full of options inside; Ron Last name removed
We were greeted warmly by everyone on staff; received a comprehensive tour, and were treated very well during the membership signup. We are so fortunate to have a facility like the A. E. Finley YMCA available to us.
They make it fun for the kiddos - encouraging physical activity and giving prizes to motivate them. We are grateful for Alex, Alex, Laura and Hannah!
Friendly and courteous staff
Employees and volunteers are always friendly and helpful. I like that people say hello in the workout areas and hallways. The instructors are excellent, and the classes are high quality. I am seeing results and learning a lot by participating in the group fitness offerings. I especially love Marianne's classes. She's a wonderful instructor and prioritizes technique with a great attitude. I also love Mary Kay's yoga class. It's always a beautiful balance of challenge and mind body reset.
Variety of services and activities.
Wonderful experience overall!
Everyone is friendly and helpful. The facility is clean and there is lots to do!
Friendly, clean, well staffed, perfect workout location
Love it - staff and members are family
Everything, except for the class reservation system, which is terrible!!!
For a very crowded gym it was easy to navigate machines. Loved the complimentary coffee!
Everything was just exceptional from the reception to the equipment to the members.
It is my son’s favorite part of his day! He loves being a “tadpole”! It seems to be very organized and well-thought out. He loves the games, the positive behavior rewards and the staff is very friendly.
The variety of activities.
Very nice pool and great aqua instructors.
Every thing is excellent
My kid has fun
Ken & team are great! My kids are safe & cared for. They have time to work on homework but, more importantly, they get to PLAY! It’s the best & so convenient!
My son really enjoys Jonathan and team.
There are so many different classes that I can always find one each day. Even if the one I want is filled. Lots of choices.
Very Cean And Quiet...

Great class availability and variety. I'm coming from Wake Forest already but have to allow at least 10 more minutes to find a parking place once I get there. Are all day staff parking in the way out places? Could help a bit.
