Member Testimonials
Many fitness classes through thrive, great instructors, monthly thrive activities, friendly and helpful staff, large venue.
They have the most helpful and nicest staff anywhere around as for as I’m concerned.
Always smiling and upbeat.
I’ve been to several different YMCA’s in the Apex,Cary and Raliegh area but the Carpenter Fire Station Road is one I would recommend by far.
I am a lap swimmer so I love being able to reserve a single lane any day of the week. The water is usually a comfortable temperature even on cold winter days. Since I have several health concerns, I feel fortunate that I can get my exercise outdoors year-round.
I am also quite fond of the front desk staff. They always greet me and my husband warmly and have learned my name. Northwest Cary YMCA is my happy place!
I am a member at a different location (East Triangle). It is a beautiful facility (NW Cary). The staff was friendly, but I had to explain myself (I am visiting from another Y) when I asked where a classroom & towel drop-off are located. I shouldn't have to explain that this is my first time using the facility & do not know where the bathroom, classrooms, etc are located. Honestly, the staff needs to be a little friendlier.
The instructor (Fei) was awesome! I loved the class. No joke. One of the best yoga classes I have been to in a long time. We need a similar class at my Y (East Triangle).
Very nice facility!
Love how open and airy it is. Great facility
Convenient location. selection of exercise equipment. Locker rooms including steam and sauna.

Facilities are great and so is the staff. Top Notch!

It's greta
Beautiful facility and wonderful class instructors. I take mat pilates and bodypump here and love both. This location is a 30 minute drive from my house but I'm willing to do it because the experience is so nice. My home Y is closer but doesn't have as many options for classes outside of business hours and I work full time.

Nice clean facility. Staff very nice.
Friendly and fun
Great location, good equipment, fantastic service. However, the pool schedule moves around a lot and the app is slow and although the right info is in the app it's a little cumbersome to navigate.
The staff is friendly and the environment is spectacular. I love going here and my kids play in the sports programs offered at the Y. It's an excellent place to go.
The childcare staff was fantastic! Both of our kids felt really comfortable with them and had a great time while my husband and I were able to work out. Thanks so much!
