Member Testimonials
Excellent staff, variety of classes, lap pools, modern workout equipment
Suggestion! Would love having class registration time expanded to 3days prior. I get shut out of some fitness classes b/c they’re full a day prior
The staff, classes, and people
Variety of offerings and activities. Great staff.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff from walking in the door to departing from a class or working out independently.
There is a good selection of yoga classes that fit my needs and schedule (senior who prefers gentle yoga and doesn't like to exercise before 10 AM).
All of the front desk staff are very helpful
Brenda classes
It is a well-maintained facility with diverse equipment and more than an adequate amount. Great staff, it’s just an all-around great value for the money.. as long as they keep that steam room operating, because it’s one of the best ones in the area I will maintain my membership. From my perspective if that ever goes, I will go…. And the principal managers of that facility need to be aware of how many men probably women as well feel the same way, but especially men. Please keep that thing functioning well, the way it is….
Friendly, helpful staff. Clean facility.
Welcoming and caring community

Friendly staff, clean environment, beautiful facility.
Yes this is the best gym
I try to go to the y early afternoon. People r polite place is clean. It’s a great place to go and exercise.
Excellent staff, friendly and active members, overall community feeling.
However, facilities are in need of facelift when compared to other existing and newly built triangle YMCAs- the impression I get is that with our large and growing membership the facilities are becoming inadequate. Feels like we are overly subsidizing other less utilized Triangle YMCAs.
I like going and the friendly staff that work there.
Amount of classes and variety
Great and friendly
friendly staff. appreciate the new signs on the doors about availability of rooms, so I can do my own workout when the main weight floor is crowded. would suggest that teachers ask members to scoot around so all can participate. it takes a lot of mental energy for some (myself included) to show up a class, please remind them that not everyone is comfortable and they need to tell members to move to create a welcoming environment (they can explain at the start of each class this month) two classes in the small room and people in class were rude to newcomers.
Friendly staff, welcoming environment, lots of cardio equipment.

I really enjoy the size of this YMCA. It's large enough to accommodate the people who come but not too large. I also enjoy the women's locker room. The lockers are an upgrade from the gym lockers in some of the other Ys. Also, I appreciate that the A. E. Finely YMCA feels like it's in a safer part of town. Sometimes I feel a little uneasy at the Alexander YMCA, especially at times when I have visited after dark. I would not hesitate to go to Finely YMCA before daybreak or in the evening.
