Friendliness of staff .
My husband and I love the friendly staff who are always willing to help. The classes that are offered are great. We feel that doing exercise in a well-lite building doesn't make it feel a burden, but fun. We mainly use the track. Thanks for being a great health club. Name removed
I like the in door track
The front desk staff are always pleasant. The locker rooms and bathrooms are always clean but most of all the diversity.
Early morning classes!
The facilities are always clean, and there always seems to be something going on or things to do.
From the 1st day I visited, I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff and cleanliness of the gyn. I joined & I've been coming to about 5 classes a week and the trainers are AWESOME!
All the people I've met, both working there & working out there are terrific.

The people at the Poole Y are friendly and inclusive. As a senior, I appreciate the “Senior” classes.
The facilities were clean. I had no problem getting access to the rowing machine (erg). I enjoyed watching my son-in-law play basketball on the downstairs basketball court.

Variety of classes
friendly and clean
Warm and welcoming and the variety of activities available for all ages.
Thrive classes. Walking track. Outdoor pool in summer.
Due to my mobility issues I need to use a pool several times a week. With my membership I am able to use other YMCAs. I am traveling to Taylor Y in Cary to use their pool this fall and will check out the Alexander Y in Raleigh.
I recommend adding a Thrive chair yoga class at Poole.
I love your outside pool. I wish you had an inside pool as well for water tonics. That helps me the most

Meeting friends and the options you have, ie activities and the variety of classes and other choices of physical activities.
