Member Testimonials
So clean and bright. Very inviting for a great workout.
I've really enjoyed some of the great instructors: Faith and Victoria (Thrive Cardio) especially.
Yes
The whole staff is super friendly & informative
i come here everyday and love one membership where i can lift weights, play volleyball in open gyms, sign up for yoga classes and hit the sauna at the end!
Great pool with many lap lanes. Great ladies changing room with working steam room and sauna - unlike other Ys in the area.
Places to work/eat/chat- they do fill up quickly in the mornings though
Track
Clean big bathrooms and lockerrooms
Sauna
Basketball courts
Puzzle
Lots of places to stretch- other local Ys don't really have room to do bodyweight exercises or stretching
I do wish you all had a coffee machine like other local Ys
Where lam
Friendly and helpful staff, amenities. But later open hours on weekends would be so helpful!
The Y is consistently clean, keeps its machines and equipment in good condition, has lots of great programming for the community, employs people with diverse abilities, and is a welcoming place.
Nice place to hang around to get exercise done. Facility is clean and staff are nice.
It's a very clean and organized facility. Front Desk person was very friendly.
I like that the Y shares the lap pool when YOTA is swimming. This is year round!! I'd love to see my more local pools (Hope Valley Farms and Meadowmont) sharing the heated pool through the wintertime.
Lane availability and the facility rank high on my list for encouraging others to join the Y.
Nice, friendly and inclusive operation. Clean facilities. Plenty of gym class variety. Great way to face the day
Great facility
I love the cleanliness and openness of the facility. Staff is friendly and the Yoga instructors are very knowledgeable and kind. I love all the equipment available for Yoga in the studio. I love the sauna and steam room and extended showers. Literally my only complaint is the week and old hair dryers.
I go to NW Cary Y three times a week in the morning and the range of classes and expertise of teachers is excellent. Teachers and students are friendly and it feels like a community, which is also important to me. The group classrooms and locker rooms are always clean. Front desk people are helpful and friendly. The area with books and tables help build community. I think a coffee/tea machine would be a nice addition and help create community further as people would linger and gather after class. A box for donations for coffee/tea would help with costs. I greatly appreciate the NW Cary Y!
An Excellent gym
I was really impressed with the facility and staff! There is plenty of cardio equipment, so I never had to wait for a machine. In addition, the staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable. The locker rooms and equipment are all very clean. Overall A+!
Good value
Convenient
Clean
Friendly as staff
Lots of class options
Good equipment
Involved in the community
Yes front desk staff welcomed me as a new member, I have enjoyed the two classes I have taken so far. Instructors were great
Spread out. Lots of equipment. Best ymca in the area.
I enjoy the Thrive classes and the staff are all very friendly.
I like the feeling of community. All staff members have smiles on their faces and make eye contact as they greet us. I also like that the membership is made up of a large variety of ages and abilities so everyone feels welcome. Many gyms have a gym rat atmosphere of posturing and completion. That is too mentally strenuous for me, a 74 yo just getting back into fitness. Lastly, I like that I can use my membership at numerous locations throughout the county, which I do to fulfill my love of dance. I also use it when I visit my family in Tennessee - great bang for the buck.
good instructors
The NW Y community and staff is by far top notch. Each time I go in, I'm greeted with the friendliest hello's and it's like an extended family. I feel so welcomed there it's hard to leave for any other gym including that really nice one which just opened up :)
Staff super friendly and welcoming to me and my teen grandsons. So happy to be a new member!
Great variety of classes
Nice facility, and some of my favorite fitness instructors. (I will go anywhere Robin F, Jon V, and Anna W are teaching Pump or Combat - they are exceptional!)
The only drawback is that it gets really hot in the studio, and some of the ceiling fans don’t work.
love the pool and the option to reserve shared or single lane. I don’t like the circle swim used by Tailor and hope that Northwest will never use that.
