Friendly staff and great equipment.
Great pool for swimming laps, really nice ladies locker room with plenty of showers. Super friendly staff who greeted me on my first visit and promptly took me on a tour. Julie was a great guide!
I love the classes and the instructors! I will begin to lift weights this summer, and I do not like the downstairs room with the machines because they are too tightly spaced for my personal comfort level. So, I plan to get a few sessions with a trainer and do my thing at the bottom of the stairs with the free weights.
I do wish the outdoor pool could be "vacuumed" (is there such a thing?) I feel like there's "sand" or something in there ;

Close enough for me to walk to the gym. But get the men's sauna door fixed so that it has a basic closure mechanism. This is the only sauna I've ever used that didn't have some sort of closure device to keep the door closed. It can't be a safety issue if other saunas globally use one. Please have the will to fix.
Ease of checking in, staff is kind and helpful and always clean
I generally have a wonderful experience at the Kerr YMCA. I would love to have the option of having STEP classes, specifically STEP STEP and Extreme Hip Hop STEP. These classes are popular at AE Finley, Southeast Raleigh, Poole and Alexander YMCA.
Friendly people. Multiple ways to improve your mental and physical health.

We just rejoined after several years because we love the community of the Kerr YMCA. The class instructors are friendly and encouraging. We enjoy access to the exercise equipment, indoor/outdoor pool, & courts. We were excited to see the indoor pickleball courts.
